Crash Fixes

  • Fixed a crash that would occur when another player joined or left the squad

Listed below are the official known issues.

New

  • AMW-20 Apex’s and LAS-44 Nova’s penetration levels are mislabelled in ship management menu. They are listed as Heavy but are actually Anti-Tank.
  • AMW-20 Apex’s damage falloff over distance is higher than intended.
  • The Xbox Client instantly disconnects back to Ship after joining the Host on PC
  • When toggling Reflection Quality to its lowest option while using RDNA 2/3 AMD GPUs, all reflections become corrupted.

Technical

  • Helldiver may die after landing on top of Automaton fabricator when Player has high latency.
  • Campaigns menu UI is slightly cut off when playing on some resolutions

Gameplay

  • A different mission type may be generated than the mission that was selected
  • Explosives can cause Helldivers hidden behind terrain to ragdoll
  • Melee kills are not being correctly counted in the end-of-mission stats or career stats
  • Oil/dirt/blood and other visual effects sometimes stain armor and/or helmet, making it jet black
  • The ‘Operated By’ text under the Super Destroyer name is not showing the Player’s nickname
  • Hellpod Avoidance Areas are inconsistent with the Player’s POV
  • Red Beacon Stratagems do not follow the beacon when it changes location
  • MGX-42 Bullet Storm’s muzzle flash may not be aligned with the weapon
  • New Illuminate enemies are clipping through the ground and obstacles on High Value Assets missions.
  • Very few enemies approach extraction when extraction zone is close to edge of map

Expect some or most of these issues to be resolved in the next update.
