STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – Arrowhead, the developer of Helldivers 2, has released a new patch, 1.000.10, for the PS5. This patch aims to address bugs that have been hindering players from fully enjoying the game’s cooperative gameplay. Among the improvements promised by the patch is the resolution of matchmaking issues, although users have reported that servers are still heavily congested. Despite the introduction of an improved server capacity framework, it seems that players will have to endure these challenges a while longer.
Johan Pilestedt, the head of Arrowhead, announced the patch’s release via Twitter. However, despite being available for several hours, many players have struggled to log in successfully. As a result, Pilestedt has advised potential buyers to hold off on purchasing the game until the situation is resolved.
The game has recently reached a new peak in concurrent players on PC, with almost 450,000 players logged in simultaneously. This surge in players has also led to the investigation of an AFK auto-kick feature to combat those who exploit the game by remaining logged in for extended periods without actively participating.
Players have expressed their frustrations regarding the patch and its impact on the game’s functionality. Many are hoping for relief in the near future, particularly when it comes to improved matchmaking. This ongoing struggle to maintain the game’s performance has showcased the developer’s dedication to preserving the experience for its players.
The challenges faced by Helldivers 2 highlight the complexities of maintaining and updating online games, especially in the face of surging player numbers. As the developer continues to work on resolving these issues, players remain optimistic that they will soon be able to fully enjoy the game once again.
