[QUOTE="Admin, post: 62222, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/helldivers-ii']Helldivers 2[/URL] developer Arrowhead Game Studios has released another patch for the popular co-op shooter which takes aim at the various matchmaking issues that have plagued launch. While Helldivers 2 is a critical and commercial success, selling over one million copies across PlayStation 5 and PC, and becoming [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/helldivers-2-overtakes-god-of-war-to-become-sonys-biggest-ever-game-launch-on-steam']Sony’s biggest ever launch on Steam[/URL], its release has been blighted by server problems that made matchmaking a serious issue. [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/helldivers-2-dev-to-compensate-players-for-lost-rewards-pc-patch-rolled-back-amid-performance-issues']Arrowhead even promised to compensate players for lost rewards[/URL]. The developer has worked to combat these issues since launch, admitting it was not prepared for the over 360,000 concurrent players it had to deal with. And now patch 01.000.008 is here on PS5 and PC to help in the fight. According to [URL='https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/553850/view/7862791756731309004?l=english']the Helldivers 2 Steam page[/URL], the main areas of focus for the patch are resolving crashes, improving matchmaking, optimising the game’s server, and to update the new Defend event, which has seen new planets open up in the fight against the Automatons. [H2]Helldivers 2 Update 01.000.008 Patch Notes[/H2] [B]Fixes[/B] The following issues have been fixed for this version. [LIST] [*]Matchmaking [*]Playfab optimization [*]Playfab environment optimized - All lobbies now have proper data to run more effective matchmaking [*]Filtering optimization [*]We are optimizing the filter system when players are searching for lobbies, so that it excludes already full lobbies. [*]Stability and crashes [*]We have fixed three of our top crashes in the game, including particle renderer crashes and ragdoll crashes. [*]Fixed an issue where the application prioritized integrated graphics over some GPU in laptops. [*]Defend Events and Major Orders. [*]For readability purposes, we added a visual progression indicator to major order defend events [/LIST] [B]Known Issues[/B] These are issues that were either introduced by this patch and are being worked on, or are from a previous version and have not yet been fixed. [LIST] [*]Players may still experience some instability while matchmaking. [*]Background music, Sound effects and JP audio does not play during the opening cutscene. Japanese VO is also missing from the Ship TV. [/LIST] It’s busy times in the world of Helldivers 2 following its impressive launch. This week, Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt said [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/helldivers-2-dev-says-it-will-never-add-pvp-because-it-wants-to-reduce-toxic-elements-from-the-community']the developer will “never” add PvP to Helldivers 2[/URL] in order to reduce “toxic elements” from the community.
