Earlier today, Arrowhead Game Studios released patch 1.000.103 on all platforms for balance adjustments and fixes. Unfortunately, the latest update for the game also resulted in Helldivers 2 crashing issues and some have reported on Galactic War progress not tracking after today’s patch dropped as well.

Arrowhead is aware of these issues, and has also released statements about these on the game’s official Discord server.

On Galactic War not tracking properly:

“Helldivers!
We’re aware of an issue with the Galactic War not tracking your effective spread of Liberty properly.

We are investigating this urgently and will keep you posted as soon as we understand the issue and have a fix to communicate to you.

Thanks very much for your patience while we squash some software bugs.”

Acknowledgement of the crashing issues affecting players:

“We know that many of you are experience a lot of crashes at the moment (seemingly linked to the patch deployed earlier today, which at least resolved the persistent friend request issue for a lot of players). Our team is deep down in the trenches digging into the issue as we speak. We are on alert ready to update on any changes here. We’re very sorry @everyone for not being able to supply you with the glorious feeling of bug and bot stomping and hope to have the game more stable as soon as possible.”

Also of note, Arrowhead also released backend update to fix these issues:

• Eagle kill stats should now increase as expected.
• Missions Completed stats no longer count twice per mission.
• We have done three related fixes for friend invites that should resolve some of the issues with inviting friends. You will need to log out and log back in for it to take effect.

Speaking of issues, here’s a list of known problems the devs are looking into:

• Cross-platform friend invites might not show up in the Friend Requests tab.
• Players cannot unfriend other players befriended via friend code.
• Players cannot unblock players that were not in their Friends list beforehand.
• Players cannot befriend players with Steam names shorter than 3 characters.
• Hellpod steering close to large or important objects is currently not functioning as intended, resulting in steering being disabled in a large area around the object.
• Online features are not functioning when console language is set to Ukrainian.
• Players may be unable to select loadout when joining a multiplayer via an activity card.
• Planet liberation reaches 100% at the end of every Defend mission.
• Drowning in deep water with a Vitality Booster equipped puts Helldiver in a broken state.
• Exosuits will sometimes be delivered in a damaged or broken state.
• Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location.
• Pink artifacts may appear in the sky when setting off large explosions.
• Text chat box display is obstructed by the cinematic letterboxing during extraction.
• Sometimes the player’s loadout customizations will reset after restarting the game.

From the sound of it, don’t be surprised to see another patch for the game released soon to fix the crashing problems and more. If one is indeed released, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
