Helldivers 2 gets new update for PC – That’s Gaming

Helldivers 2 has received a new update on PC, in hopes of fixing many of the crashes players have been dealing with, as well as improvements to the game’s online matchmaking. The update, available now on PC, will come to the PS5 version of Helldivers 2 at a later date.

In a statement released along with the patch, the studio acknowledged that the update is only a first step in fixing issues, especially when it comes to matchmaking. A full fix for matchmaking issues in Helldivers 2 will likely take more time.

“In this new build we managed to further improve the matchmaking success rate, but unfortunately it’s not quite there yet,” the studio said in its statement. “The full fix may take several more days of work before it is fully functional.”

The studio also states that matchmaking appears to have a higher success rate when players attempt to participate in an active game by searching for planets, rather than using the in-game Quickplay option.

Arrowhead Game Studios had announced that it has been working hard to resolve issues players have been facing when it comes to the overall stability of the game, as well as matchmaking not working properly, earlier this week. The studio also recently revealed its reasons for using GameGuard as its anti-cheat of choice.

Helldivers 2 was released on PC and PS5 this week. Check out the full patch notes below.
