Another update is available for “Helldivers 2” and makes improvements to the cooperatively playable shooter. One point is aimed specifically at PS5 players.
“Helldivers 2” came onto the market almost three weeks ago. Since then, the developers at Arrowhead Game Studios have been busy improving the co-op shooter and, most importantly, fixing the connection issues related to player rush.
In this context, patch 1.000.13 is intended to provide improvements in several areas. The official changelog is now available.
Improvements for PS5 version and AFK kick
The first point of the patch notes is dedicated to the PS5. The login speed has been improved on this platform and there should be fewer error messages in the future.
There were also changes to the AFK kick, which kicks inactive players off the servers and thus makes room for other defenders of democracy.
Changelog for patch 1.000.13:
Improved: Login speed and error messages on PS5 Improved: Support for AZERTY keyboards with the ability to remap the ship HUD shortcuts Fixed: Over-credits were not displayed after purchase or collecting Fixed: Premium Warbond was after purchase inaccessible Fixed: Crash that could occur when a player changed their rank or title Fixed: Missing text in HUD for acquisition and social menus Fixed: Crash that could occur when searching missions Fixed: Unlimited stratagem use that occurred after an AFK kick Fixed: Missing equipment issues after an AFK kick Fixed: Purple question mark after an AFK kick
Not all errors could be fixed with the new update for “Helldivers 2”. Accordingly, another list is dedicated to the problems that Arrowhead Game Studios still needs to work on.
This applies, among other things, to the login rate limit, which reduces the number of simultaneously active players. Players can still lose connection during a session.
Also on the to-do list:
Rewards and other progress may be delayed or not assigned. Various UI issues may occur when the game interacts with servers. Picking up certain objects in the game can cause characters to freeze in place for long periods of time. Light/Medium/Heavy Armor stats are not currently working as intended.
MORE ON THE SUBJECT:
At least login problems should increasingly become a thing of the past. On the one hand, Arrowhead Game Studios could Number of simultaneous players to 800,000 lift. On the other hand, the Steam values show a gradual decline in the number of players in a weekly comparison.
The 24-hour peak on Steam is 372,230, down from a peak of 458,208 players set last weekend. However, there will likely be increased crowds again next weekend. And the PS5 accesses also have to be taken into account.
