Following today’s short maintenance work, Arrowhead Game Studios has released a Helldivers 2 new update on PC this February 12, and is coined version 1.000.005 by the devs. This brings a short list of fixes touching on server capacity and mission rewards issues. We expect the PS5 version to get patched sometime this week as well.

Helldivers 2 New Update for PC Patch Notes for Feb. 12 (Version 1.000.005):

Update: Arrowhead announced that they have rolled back the game version to a previous state due to gamers experiencing “significant degradation in performance” due to it.

Hello Helldivers,
This morning, we gathered the best engineers Super Earth can muster to look at the main issues that are impacting your experience and to fix them.

These issues are caused mostly by having so many players in the game and server capacity creating unexpected behaviors.

Let me update you on what we did so far with the latest patch being deployed:

• Server Capacity and log in access:
• We have eased the authentication request overall.
• We have improved error message visibility and added a countdown timer to clearly show when a new attempt will be made.
• Progression and mission reward not being granted:
• We fixed the daily and difficulty progression error
• Based on the testing we have done we believe we have fixed future mission rewards but will continue to monitor this closely as it is our top priority
• To compensate for lost rewards, we are working on an increased reward event

That’s about it. Arrowhead seems to be focusing on improving the game’s servers and major issues concerning rewards before moving forward with changes for bugs and gameplay, which seems sensible for me.

With the game a bonafide success, we’re glad to see the studio working diligently on making sure these fixes are in the gamer’s hands right away. Once the PS5 patch is out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
