[summaraize]
Just a day after releasing a major Helldivers 2 patch that added weapon customization and a massive balance pass, Arrowhead Game Studios has today released an emergency patch, which players will see as Helldivers 2 update 1.003.001.
The patch’s main focus is to fix the stratagem spamming that caused crashing issues to players.
Helldivers 2 Stratagem Spam Bug Now Resolved, But What’s It About?
The lone fix included in today’s patch mentions:
- Fix for the Stratagem spamming bug that caused severe crashing.
The new patch issued earlier this week allowed gamers to use strategems more often than intended and this resulted in the game crashing. It’s simple as that.
Outside of that bug there are still a good number of issues being investigated by Arrowhead:
New
- The Super Store skips pages when attempting to buy an item on the first page when using PS5 in Quality mode. Please switch to Performance mode as a workaround while we solve this issue!
- Circle key binding has no functionality if a Player wants to leave the Customization screen without saving changes to the attachments.
- Guard Dog flies away instead of reloading
Technical
- Keybinds do not save after restarting the game using the AZERTY and French keyboard settings
- Players that are using the Microsoft IME languages are unable to type Korean, Japanese and Chinese symbols in chat.
- Capes don’t display in Armory tab and instead show a blank grey cape
Gameplay
- Explosives can cause Helldivers hidden behind terrain to ragdoll
- Players can get stuck on Pelican-1’s ramp during extraction.
- Firebomb Hellpods can no longer destroy larger enemy types such as tanks
- Higher zoom functions do not zoom the camera in through the scope on the LAS-5 Scythe
- Picking up the Entrenchment tool results in other support weapons being held like the Entrenchment tool
- The Banners for the Servants of Freedom warbond will be displayed in low resolution when viewed in the Armory
- Interrupting the reload animation of the StA-11 SMG may result in the magazine being consumed without reloading it.
- Eruptor lacks animation for loading the second-to-last bullet in the chamber.
- Map icons for carryable objectives don’t follow the objective and stay at their original location.
There is no timetable for when these will be resolved, but we expect some of them to be included in the next Helldivers 2 patch, which we hope will be released soon.
