For those who’ve been taking part in Helldivers 2, chances are high you’ve got most likely been booted to your desktop after extracting—I certain have. Usually, this bug causes a untimely return to civilian life on the finish of a mission, which is additional irritating since they have an inclination to take over half an hour to finish. No less than, when you’re as a lot of a sample-hungry completionist as I’m.
Fortuitously, a repair is on the way in which, as confirmed by group supervisor Twinbeard on the Helldivers 2 Discord: “I simply briefly wish to say that we’re conscious of the crashes primarily surrounding extraction/finish of mission that presently quite a lot of you might be dealing with. There is a hotfix arriving very quickly.”
As for a timeframe, Twinbeard famous that they had been “fairly certain” it’s going to arrive earlier than the brand new Warbond, which is scheduled to deploy April 11. Granted, that is a strong ‘possibly’ handed on by a group supervisor—and contemplating the unruly nature of recreation growth, there are not any ensures in bug-fix land.
Within the meantime, Twinbeard gently recommends that gamers both “cling in there or maybe let the sport relaxation for some time”—”maybe” being the operative phrase right here, as they later clarified: “I have not advised anybody to take a break. I merely urged it as a substitute when you undergo quite a lot of crashes, till the hotfix is launched.” Which is honest sufficient. There’s solely a lot a group supervisor (heck, even a dev) can do within the face of a gnarly glitch.
Regardless, I am going to personally be glad to see the again of this bug, because it does jam an unlucky interruption into an in any other case silky-smooth gameplay loop of taking pictures bots (nicely, bugs, since there aren’t bots anymore) grabbing samples, extracting, rinsing, repeating, and saluting the Tremendous Earth flag.
I’ve had a few play periods the place a crash has made me assume ‘proper, I higher take a break’. Which… could be for one of the best, actually. I am beginning to hear binary in my goals.
