Patch dropped today fixing lots of known crash issues.


It's wild that a game that has been out for 2 months had this many different crash issues that needed to be fixed

quote:

Fixed some crashes that occurred when deploying to mission.

Fixed some crashes that occurred during extraction and right after it.

Fixed crashes that could occur if the squad deployed a large amount of support weapons.

Fixed various crashes that could occur during gameplay.

Fixed a crash that could occur when using heat based weapons.

Fixed crashes which could occur if a player died while using the jetpack.

Fixed crash which could occur when large volumes of enemies were present.

Fixed crash which could occur when the player picked up a snowball.

Fixed crash which could occur when completing an objective.

Somehow, the Automatons returned.

As suspected all along, the previous Bot force was merely a vanguard. A massive fleet has now begun an assault of Cyberstan and the surrounding planets. Helldivers, hold back this unprovoked invasion. The fight continues!

The core gameplay loop is genuinely fun, even for solo players, but some later game content and upgrades will be difficult to grind without a friend group or willingness to tag along with randoms.

It’s a game that’s absolutely better in a group of friends with a common play style, but as far as live service shooters go, it’s worth the $40 and then some imo

I’m with you, but it seems like this model is going to become all the more frequent for live-service games. They can release what amounts to essentially a public beta for close to full price, and then drop fixes that could’ve been solved with a longer runway of development. Not saying it’s right, but I think it’s here to stay.

Thanks. Giving it the big old confirm and download. I’ve loved starship troopers forever. I’ll see you out there killing socialist robots and communist bugs

Live service has just auto converted to scam do not buy for me for like at least 5 years till now I’m trying our hell divers because I have heard about how “un scummy” idk a better way to say that it is.

How about you worry about delivering a working service of any sort that’s worth your asking price then we discuss 30$ cosmetics for guns

I think the issues are exacerbated because Arrowhead is a very small studio and they use a discontinued game engine (Autodesk Stingray).

I just wish they'd slow down the content releases until the game is in a more stable place, but I appreciate that they have some devs that specialize in developing content and others working on fixes/stability, so I imagine it's not possible to just switch ALL devs to fixes/stability.

Early on I think the devs also said that although Sony is giving them any and all resources they need, it's not like Sony just has expert Autodesk Stingray devs sitting around that they can send to Arrowhead's offices to help

Glad to help. It’s been a blast, and if you love Starship Troopers, the game is one big love letter to it.

#0376-0271 is my friend code. Only level 17 myself, but happy to jump in and ease some of the grind until you get access to the Breaker shotgun. Even nerfed, it’s the first weapon that makes you feel like you can dish some pain.

Ok it’s downloading and I assume I’ll have to go through all the setup rigamoroll whenever i get the option I’ll add you. Do you choose your code or is it given?

I did figure out the extraction crashes on PS5 do reward you with samples and SC's when you open the game back up. Still kind of annoying, I got crashed out of some pretty good squads. At least it's not 30 minutes of completely wasted time like I originally thought.

They really need to implement a "rejoin squad" feature for crashes.

It’s just a random code generation, you can find it in the social tab once you get your destroyer.

You are alone in that group Those firenados are a PITA, especially on the higher difficulties where your choices are chargers and bile titans or burning alive.

I like the more mountainous planets when I'm using a jetpack. Being able to take my time and snipe things is just fun.

It's not much at all, just hit the O button (the Social/Friends button, the info for it stays present in your UI to let you see the number of friends you have in the game at any given time).

No idea if you can access it during the tutorial or not. If not, you'll get access to it the moment you get to your ship (which is just after the tutorial).

Auto-generated. The game can see your Steam buddy list as well for Steam friends who have purchased the game.

You can rejoin a squad. Go to social and it tells you who you recently played with. Jsur click on them and join squad

Does it have to be the host or can it be anyone who was in the group? I wish it showed full names in the bottom left of the screen while you're playing instead of just the first letter of their name.

It definitely shows everyone in the group in the recently played with section, but I was wondering whether you have to pick the host of the group from that list in order to rejoin the game.

Whatever, hopefully not a big deal if the crashing is fixed.
