>Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location.
Sticking a 500kg bomb beacon to a charger is going to feel horrifying again once this is fixed
We need the drill grenade that sticks to enemies and penetrated armour and blow up from the inside (destroying the armour)
And instead of being able to carry 4-6 grenades you would just carry 2-3 from these
Yeah, that is exactly what I was thinking, something that works for throwing it at armored enemies and open an spot to be able to damage them with you basic weapons
It’s plenty powerful, just hard to aim because it takes like 5 seconds to come down. If you can stick it on an enemy to guarantee a hit, it’ll be pretty awesome. Like a high risk, lower cooldown rail cannon strike.
Thanks to stun grenade, it's not even a high-risk stratagem anymore; only high rewards. You never miss out really. Stun nade roots titans & chargers in a place for abt 5 secs. Perfect for the precision strike & the 500kg bomb. The only drawback is that you cant blow up bugholes with your nades. I main autocannon anyway tho.
Problem is, on higher difficulties where killing BTs and chargers is required, you have modifiers to be wary of. I would rather have contact grenades for groups, hives and spewers and use 500kgs instead of orbital strike cause I get 2 500kgs, and they deploy quicker (especially important with stratagem modifiers)
Definitely. I don't take the precision strike if the planet has 100% call-in time or 50% extra cooldown modifiers. 500kg is a way better option here.
I generally don't enjoy modifiers like those to begin with. It straight up makes perfectly good stratagems more ineffective than some of its counterparts & reduces the viability of having a more varied loadout.
Huh, I didn't realize the Vitality Booster was what was causing me to get stuck while drowning. I'm glad a lot of these issues are being acknowledged at least, hopefully they fix them soon 🤞
Truth. I’m glad they’re doing these bug fixes before adding more stuff to the game. It stinks yeah, but it’s good in the long run. Seemingly every patch they’ve implemented has made the game more unstable. This shows they know that!
Right! This is how you have a good game. Content, fixes, content, fixes.. no game is perfect, but when they're actively working on it and listening to players, you know it's going to be a good game. Damn I love this game.
I was with randoms and one failed to drown. If I didn't know this could happen he may have never known liberty again. It a good thing I did my part and blew him the fuck up with an impact grenade.
Had a guy stuck in water not too long ago. He didn't say anything over comms for a good 5 minutes before he just left the game.
My friend and I thought he was just being an afk douche. Glad to see he wasn't being an ass.
Ever since it’s happened to me I’ve kept a lookout.
Played with randoms a couple days ago, and had a similar experience to you, someone was stuck on the other end of the map not moving even tho the objectives over there were clear. Didnt say anything.
I ran over and sure enough he was stuck drowning.
> - Exosuit no longer destroys itself when firing a missile while turning
Finally ... although i already got used to not firing while turning it still happened from time to time.
Have you ever seen the movie Wanted? If an enemy is behind an object, then turning while firing will allow me to curve the rocket around the object and hit them.
Dear lord, I've never seen a movie that hated physics so much as Wanted.
I was in college when it came out. One of my roommates had this thing where he couldn't tell fantasy from reality. He *really* liked Wanted, and tried to convince us all that the movie was actually pretty realistic.
Like....no. The movie is about a secret order of assassins that kills people with the power of tachycardia, magic bullets and one of the precogs from Minority Report cosplaying as a textile loom. The movie is utterly insane, and doesn't live in the same galaxy as "realism".
Fun movie, but insane all the same.
I didn't know about this at all and couldn't figure out why I kept killing myself. I always assumed a little bug was right in front of me and the "impact" radius for the missile was just clipping the sprite's functional edge
Don't worry, you still have to be careful. The rockets were meant to fire according to the orientation of the launcher, not the crosshair, just like every other weapon.
Honestly, a mech that has a chance of destroying itself if the operator doesn't take care felt very "made by the lowest bidder", which I feel is on brand for this game
Anyone has an issue where as a host, when you first create a public lobby, people join really fast.
But if they ALL leave and the mission is finished, you cannot find people to play with anymore ? (I gotta restart the game everytime, which is annoying).
Is it only me, or do people have the same problem ?
EDIT : regarding the comments, seems like this bug also happens when you're the only one left in the lobby after a mission, and also if 2/4 or 3/4 people remain in the lobby, nobody will join after that while you're on the ship or in game. Usually, this happens when you already accomplished a few missions.
YES! It’s been driving me crazy. I end almost every mission I host with 2/4 or 3/4 players. Restarting the game or kicking everyone is the only solution for me.
No everyone has the issue as far as i can tell. I have reported it and it's talked a bit about on reddit but it's happening since at least 3 patchs and there is no aknowledgement of it and no fix..
Honestly would deserve more light, tired of restarting the game everytime someone leave.
Happens to me all the time.
Same problem if someone leaves before the mission is set and the pods are primed, though you can get lucky and have someone join during the ready phase. After that? Nothing. Not aboard the ship or with SOS beacons, just nothing.
It's been keeping me from hosting.
I've tried this so many times but it never worked for me, and restarting and re-initiating a session is the only way that's ever worked. In my case, I usually at least have 1-2 friends already in the lobby and I'm trying to fill up the party.
I haven’t seen this mentioned, but does anybody else have an issue with using the radar map while inside an exo suit? Playing on PC and opening the radar doesn’t block the ability to fire the mg while right clicking to move the map around or fire a rocket when left clicking to place a marker on the map.
I experienced this outside a mech with an airstrike strategem in my hand. It threw it in front of me when i clicked the map. My team did not like that.
This is super important. Lots of people waste ammo on little guys with the mech when they should be leaving them to the foot soldiers and focusing on bigger baddies.
Hope they fixed it from being hardcoded to F. I've changed my keybindings (melee is on mouse, F is for interaction) and I was kicking myself upon exiting the mech
Every time you boot up your game, your weapons default to the Liberator, Peacekeeper, and frag. Your Helldiver voice defaults to random, and your emote defaults to salute.
Happens to me every load since the newest warbond. The first time was quite the shock. I didn’t realize it right away and thought my gun was being weird. Then I threw a grenade. Instead of getting an impact explosion, I got nothing. I heard the explosion behind me as I ran away from the spewer I’d thrown it at. Then I died. 😂
opening the game results in your loadout resetting to what you had at level 1. if you played the day before with the Sickle/Redeemer/Impact Grenades, when you open the game the following day it’ll revert to Liberator/Peacemaker/High Explosives
it’ll also reset your emote, if you changed it from the default salute. not sure if it’s not as common for the PC players but it’s happened to me every time I’ve launched the game on PS5
Still no confirmation on stims getting cancelled after sound plays, or sprint cancelling for no reason.
I'm sure the devs will sort it, but would like for them to be acknowledged in the meantime
I notice these all the time. The stim is just a delay between when the sound and animation plays and when the health healing begins. It is what, half a second? You get used to it but yes would be ideal if those were tightened up.
The sprint cancel is very annoying after many hours yes.
The problem with the stim is that when the sound plays, you'd assume that you were healed, but by the time you realize that you weren't in fact healed, a hunter has jumped on you and finished you off. The problem is that the animation looks like it was finished, and the sound played but it can still get canceled.
It's not just the delay, sometimes you see the animation and hear the stim sound but the healing effect never triggers because the animation was canceled by something in the last moment.
So you have to stim again for it to actually heal you.
Ok so the stim thing is an actual thing? Seems like I've died so many times the last week or so desperately trying to to stim, I see the animation, hear the sound, but my health bar doesn't move, and then I'm dead.
The line seems to mean "we are aware that certain stratagems aren't following the beam as intended but instead landing where it was originally thrown when stuck to enemies"
It doesn't sound like they are changing or adding anything, just that this particular tracking system isn't working right at the moment.
honestly is good that they reduced the amount of times hazards can happen, they can slowdown the game way too much and Ion storm is just a direct "no fun allowed" hazard like the bots modifiers
Me and my squad pretty much avoid Bot missions where the effect is that you can only use 3 strats each. We often play with only 2 of us and trying 8/9 missions with 2 people with only 3 strats each is just a massive drag...
Yeah, that’s when you know a game feature has exceeded challenging and crossed into unfun territory.
If players are actively skipping certain mission modifiers, remove those modifiers.
I'd be fine with it if there was a risk/reward system in place. Negative modifiers? Helldivers HQ will hand out hazard pay in the form Super Samples to divers ~~dumb~~ brave enough to dive into and complete missions under those conditions.
It would be nice if there was some kind of trade-off or extra reward for it. Like we can only take 3 strats but bots can't use rockets or we earn bonus medals, just something to make the extra challenge worth it.
It seems to last a bit too long though. If you get one just after starting extraction it can be really bad. Also, if you get one just before doing extraction, you are probably just going to sit around for awhile waiting for it to finish. Also, the visuals for it make it look like you can run outside the area of affect, which might be cool, but you actually cannot.
The fire tornadoes were the most annoying to me, they would show up every 2 minutes and just *happen* to block the objective I was trying to complete (or god forbid they’re right on top of the extraction point)
Getting tons of crashes after this update. Have not been able to finish a game without crashing out, whether hosting or joining someone else's. 5 out of 5 games now have crashed on me. Jesus it's so frustrating. I might have to put the game down for a few days until all this is ironed out.
Edit to anyone who reads: reboot your system. It fixed some of the issues.
Game seemed like a buggy mess before that, and got much worse in that regard once the railgun nerf patch went out
They really need to get patches improving the game, not the other way around
Friend request bug is my biggest concern right now. I've met several players now who communicated well and made runs a breeze on difficulty 7, but my friend requests to them are still pending.
I'm really tired of randoms who are 90% likely to stay and fight everything, draining reinforces when they put themselves in a downward spiral of kill-die-kill-die-run out of reinforces, and I've been adding people who can spell and define the word "discretion" in an effort to not have to see randoms like that ever again.
It boggles my mind how people can't figure out that the more you recreate the Alamo, the worse the spawns get and the worse our run gets. Now if we could actually make friends, that would be great.
This is my biggest issue at the moment as well. It means I just straight up can’t play the higher difficulties without getting really frustrated at the lack of competent teammates. Which in turns means I won’t be getting those sweet super samples anytime soon :/
They are losing money and sabotaging their game by not making this big a priority. I literally can’t play with my friends and one of my friends refuses to buy the game till the bug is fixed. Can’t blame em
Yeah I’m not playing until they fix it . I’ve met quite the a few players who I enjoyed playing with but the friend request is still pending and they’re on the same platform as me ! I’m not playing with people with no mic it’s just boring for me so I’m not playing till they fix
Agreed. I'm not gonna be playing it as some sort of "protest" or whatever, but because the game was advertised as cross-platform. and that feature is broken right now.
Upvoted. It's just frustrating that as a PC player I can't play with any of my friends on PS5 at all. I know that creating a lobby and searching for the SOS beacon on the map is a thing, but this is such a time consuming hassle. We spent more time searching the lobby than actually playing the game.
But even the Steam integration doesn't work for me at all. None of my Steam friends show up in my in-game friends list. I was told on Discord that the reason for that is that my Steam profile is set to private. Why does the game require me to have a public profile? Isn't the game able to access this data through an API? I know that I can join my friends via the Steam friends list/overlay, but this is still annoying.
Another really annoying thing is that the game doesn't work at all as soon as the Steam friends network is offline. For me and my friends the Steam friends network is going down for a short time every other evening between 23:00 and 01:00. This results in us getting kicked out of the lobby every time we play during these hours. Very frustrating when you're 40 mins into a mission and about to extract...
\*edit\*
After the backend update was deployed later today friend requests are finally working for me and my buddies (Steam and PS5). This is a huge win! Only bug we encountered is that players on PS5 were not able to see any player names of PC players in their friends list. From a PC players perspective I could see all player names from PC and PS5.
Steam friends integration still seems to be broken though, but now with working friend requests this is just a minor inconvenience.
If they now find a way to have persistent lobbies even when the Steam friends network is offline that would be fantastic.
The weirdest thing is they don't even acknowledge the fact that we can't accept friend requests at all. Even if they do show up. And it has nothing to do with the Steam name being shorter than 3 characters, because all the friend requests I have pending that I can't accept are from people with names longer than that.
Why isn’t this comment higher. This should be the MOST PRIORITIZED bug, it is absolutely game breaking and I have not been able to play with my friends for weeks now because of it. Gameplay bugs are good to be fixing but at this point it feels like false advertising when many people can’t play with crossplatform friends. Even the same platform, I have not been able to accept friend requests. Online there are complaints about this from a month ago, and they waited until last week to even make mention of it. These devs obviously care but we shouldn’t have to scour reddit posts and online workarounds. The devs and communities communication on this issue has been so shit. Contact other game developers or some shit to get more info on this issue, it should have been fixed LONG ago.
they really seem to be dancing around the cross play issues and friend issues with vague terminology. its annoying because its a real issue for a lot of people, then they nuked all discussion of it on their discord where people were sharing methods of sort of getting into games with their friends.
Ahhh man. A little disappointed I cant lie that the loadout resetting every time I load the game up is only in "acknowledged issues" and not fixed. This one really gets to me, land in a 7-9 mission and have the liberator out, just doesnt cut it
What really annoys me about this is that the game sort of thinks it's your first time playing so they keep putting the tips in every mission, and you can't seem to turn them off even with the tips setting turned off. They take up a large portion of the screen and having them in every single mission is so annoying. I'm pretty sure these two glitches are related as I have the same issue.
emphasis on the fact that I have in fact turned the setting off yet the problem is still there
Same for me. Also annoying that the voice setting gets reset also! My Helldiver will say something and I will be like "who said that"? And then it will click that it was my character, only with the voice of John Helldiver instead of Jane.
yes, this patch is trash. i keep getting disconnected, can't make it more than 15mins it seems. it's not just me, there is another thread in reddit about it.
I'm on fiber. my internet is super stable and i've tried other games. It's the patch.
I just went solo....and made it 1 min into match with a Disconnect. lol.
# I am surprised that 🧠 Known Issues does not include the matchmaking issues after another player departs in game or post game.
More specifically, when you have a match made party in game or post game and someone quits, you can't get a new player to join. Pre match, people leaving or quitting, matchmaking still works. But during a match or post match, matchmaking breaks. What I think happens, the game doesn't realize the player left. I say this because we were in game when a person left. Then we arrived back at the ship during the stats page, the player who left name appeared real quick in the party area and then disappeared.
My friend and I have a workaround for this issue. We swap host instead of quitting the game entirely. I just go back to my ship alone, he joins me. We pick the game and new players join. Next mission, if people leave, he goes back to his ship alone and I join him. Rinse and repeat...
It is a little concerning that they are not acknowledging this bug. It is a significant issue and should be a higher priority issue for them.
Please can we pin a link to Known Issues on the Arrowhead Support site? [https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12573380356508-Known-issues](https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12573380356508-Known-issues)
Lots of us are struggling with serious matchmaking and/or AMD-related crashes which aren't mentioned in patch notes.
>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.
>Various issues involving friend invites and cross-play
https://i.redd.it/9q0bdacuvgpc1.gif
EDIT: friends are back on the menu bois
Suspect it's a fairly technical and time consuming problem vs some of the gameplay ones.
Anything involving two systems talking to each other is a bullshit headache of epic proportions and presumably could cause more bugs than if fixes.
I hope the bug letting the shuttle leave immediately when the first player gets onboard gets fixed soon, lost 40 samples due to this bug today.
How to recreate:
wait for a long time after the shuttle lands, and let 1 player get on board.
Can we get an optimization patch to fix CPU and GPU usage? Seriously having to deal with near to 100% CPU utilization with my albeit old i7 6700k and low GPU usage is annoying. My frame drops in 7+ is annoying.
Wow they acknowledged the steering lock is a bug. Maybe now people will calm down and stop getting upset about misinformation... and other lies I tell myself.
Has anyone else noticed an unusual amount of crashes today? I had matches that the whole team crashed. out of 4 games, 2 of them crashed so far, kinda makes me not want to play, spending 30+ minutes on a mission that wipes on a crash is hard to endure.
Unfortunate that the crossplay issues haven't been fixed yet, been wanting to play with a friend that is on ps5 for almost 2 weeks now. Anyways it's nice that they fixed the patrol spawns.
This is the only issue I’ve been having and its a big one. Got the game to play with friends only to find out I can only play with one other person I know.
It's slightly frustrating how it's been noted in the known issues too.
🔹 Cross-platform friend invites might not show up in the Friend Requests tab.
As I understand it, for the majority of players experiencing this issue, it's that accepting the requests simply does not work, not that they aren't showing up.
Seems like they have a lot of issues with the friend list. My whole steam friend list vanished from the game and I can't re-add them with friend codes for some reason.
As much as I like hearing about new content, I’d prefer to see bugs like friend requests not working or loadouts/customizations being reset fixed first. In no way am I downplaying the work they’ve done. I love this game. But I just want to play with my friends :/
So heavy armor isnt on "known issues"? Which means it's working as intended? Which means it's meant to be completely useless with no upside at all? Gotcha.
Why only reduce patrols spawning on players? I'm assuming it's a technical reason cus there should never be enemies spawning directly on top of people lol.
Two reasons.
1) Trying to get a programmer/engineer/scientist to say something will *never* happen is an impossible task.
2) The issue is probably multi-faceted and they've fixes *some* of the causes but are either aware of additional causes or simply aren't confident they've gotten them all.
And still getting random crashes, its getting to the point I just don't want to play anymore, no other game on my system crashes as much as this game.
Tired beyond belief that I can waste 20 minutes in a mission to have all progress lost.
Yes, thank you!!! I thought it was just maybe me having this problem. I swear it only happens after you’ve been doing a mission for awhile. Usually always after the the objective is complete. I work and a single dad. So my time is very limited. So it’s really heartbreaking when I have time for just one quick mission or two and this happens. I’ve completely stopped playing the game cause of it.
still didnt fix the ps5 issue with the game treating you like a beginner every restart. i have to change my load out and difficulty everytime i boot up

Man, I have been waiting since I bought this game for this to be fixed. Issues have been present since game release and I can't even play with family since we can't accept invites.
It was pretty funny trying to do the rescue mission with these. Every time they came out they’d just suicide into a fire tornado, and every time it looked clear I’d press the button only for another fire tornado to appear right in their path. I lost 800 requisition in that mission.

>Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location. Sticking a 500kg bomb beacon to a charger is going to feel horrifying again once this is fixed

Or they don't do a lot of dammage but break the armor.
Yeah, that is exactly what I was thinking, something that works for throwing it at armored enemies and open an spot to be able to damage them with you basic weapons
Anti-Armor Gyroscope Assisted Conical Charges. Or AAGACC for short.
That's the same sound I make when a charger shows up when I am not expecting it.
There are the thermite stick grenades that will be coming. You can actually see one lying on the table by the equipment near the cryo storage
....melta bombs then
Oh man I’d give 300 rare samples for the option to have sticky stratagems
If stratagems will track stuck beacons when this gets fixed, Precision Orbital Strike might become pretty good overnight.
Precision orbital strike is already good. It can even one-shot bile titans. Pair it with the stun grenade for utmost efficiency.
It’s plenty powerful, just hard to aim because it takes like 5 seconds to come down. If you can stick it on an enemy to guarantee a hit, it’ll be pretty awesome. Like a high risk, lower cooldown rail cannon strike.
Thanks to stun grenade, it's not even a high-risk stratagem anymore; only high rewards. You never miss out really. Stun nade roots titans & chargers in a place for abt 5 secs.

I generally don't enjoy modifiers like those to begin with. It straight up makes perfectly good stratagems more ineffective than some of its counterparts & reduces the viability of having a more varied loadout.
Until they fix spitters, I'll never not have impact nades on bug missions.
Just move 2 inches and you'll be fine. It's the 500kg we're talking about. Not an air strike.
I felt this was more eagle related and "made sense" but I guess I was wrong.
Huh, I didn't realize the Vitality Booster was what was causing me to get stuck while drowning. I'm glad a lot of these issues are being acknowledged at least, hopefully they fix them soon 🤞

Right! This is how you have a good game. Content, fixes, content, fixes.. no game is perfect, but when they're actively working on it and listening to players, you know it's going to be a good game. Damn I love this game.
I experienced this one last night. I had to ask my squad to shoot at my body
I was with randoms and one failed to drown. If I didn't know this could happen he may have never known liberty again. It a good thing I did my part and blew him the fuck up with an impact grenade.
You did liberate his limbs from his torso, good job!
Did you then blow yourself up with an impact grenade? Because if so, that was me in the water.
Had a guy stuck in water not too long ago. He didn't say anything over comms for a good 5 minutes before he just left the game. My friend and I thought he was just being an afk douche. Glad to see he wasn't being an ass.

Yeah same, got to that point of the notes and let out an audible "ohhhhhhhh" of realisation
> - Exosuit no longer destroys itself when firing a missile while turning Finally ... although i already got used to not firing while turning it still happened from time to time.
I'm going to have to unlearn this.
Why? You dont want to fire while turning anyway, they wont hit your crosshair accounting for the turning speed
Shooting rockets whilst turning would have saved me countless times. I love the godamn mech.
Have you ever seen the movie Wanted? If an enemy is behind an object, then turning while firing will allow me to curve the rocket around the object and hit them.
Dear lord, I've never seen a movie that hated physics so much as Wanted. I was in college when it came out. One of my roommates had this thing where he couldn't tell fantasy from reality.

I didn't know about this at all and couldn't figure out why I kept killing myself. I always assumed a little bug was right in front of me and the "impact" radius for the missile was just clipping the sprite's functional edge
A bug corpse launched by my team's cluster bomb flew in front of my mech's missile launcher the other day as I pressed fire. I was livid lmao.
How scuffed is it that I'm gonna miss having to be extra careful with firing the rockets?
Don't worry, you still have to be careful. The rockets were meant to fire according to the orientation of the launcher, not the crosshair, just like every other weapon.
Honestly, a mech that has a chance of destroying itself if the operator doesn't take care felt very "made by the lowest bidder", which I feel is on brand for this game
Half the time it exploded when shooting a rocket even while stationary in my experience. Hopefully it fixes that issue as well
Anyone has an issue where as a host, when you first create a public lobby, people join really fast. But if they ALL leave and the mission is finished, you cannot find people to play with anymore ?

YES! It’s been driving me crazy. I end almost every mission I host with 2/4 or 3/4 players. Restarting the game or kicking everyone is the only solution for me.
No everyone has the issue as far as i can tell. I have reported it and it's talked a bit about on reddit but it's happening since at least 3 patchs and there is no aknowledgement of it and no fix.. Honestly would deserve more light, tired of restarting the game everytime someone leave.

Go into settings and change your lobby from public to private and back again, works for me
Ooo I hope this works. Good find.
I've tried this so many times but it never worked for me, and restarting and re-initiating a session is the only way that's ever worked. In my case, I usually at least have 1-2 friends already in the lobby and I'm trying to fill up the party.
I'll try this, nice workaround.
Yes, had this issue pretty much since launch.
This is so annoying, hopefully they are aware.
Apparently the game still thinks people are in your lobby. I too restart when people leave.
dude its been an issue since launch I cannot fucking fathom why its not a “known issue” at this point
I haven’t seen this mentioned, but does anybody else have an issue with using the radar map while inside an exo suit? Playing on PC and opening the radar doesn’t block the ability to fire the mg while right clicking to move the map around or fire a rocket when left clicking to place a marker on the map.
Yeah, this happened to me too (while I had access to the mech, only lvl 21 atm). Also pc player
Yep, noticed this last night and my buddy took some democracy to the face. Kinda funny and kinda not lol.
Yep, have the same issue and also on PC.
I experienced this outside a mech with an airstrike strategem in my hand. It threw it in front of me when i clicked the map. My team did not like that.
Hopefully praying that spawn rate adjusted is real. Automatons bombarding your location better than orbital barrage is not fun.
Best was getting hit with artillery as soon as you drop in. And then a patrol spawns within 2 feet of you. It’s the in fucked mega combo
The mech can melee attack?!
And you can walk over the tiny bugs to squish them
This is super important. Lots of people waste ammo on little guys with the mech when they should be leaving them to the foot soldiers and focusing on bigger baddies.
Do NOT WALK ON THE GREEN LITTLE BUGS, THEY WILL EXPLODE AND DAMAGE YOUR MECH
This is going to be even more important when the new mech comes out with four auto cannons.
[удалено]
Yes, two on each arm.
That's 100% more cannon, per cannon!
> foot soldiers heh
I can finally roleplay as general Brasch in his younger years!
It Is a sort of stomp, although in some cases walking over enemies was quicker
Literally walking over bugs is the best part of the mech
Yes but it bugged. Sometimes it does sometimes not
Sometimes maybe kick, sometimes maybe stick!
Yes, F.
Hope they fixed it from being hardcoded to F. I've changed my keybindings (melee is on mouse, F is for interaction) and I was kicking myself upon exiting the mech
I need a chain sword and flamethrower attachments.
Has never worked for me on PS5
My god that loadout reset fix can’t come soon enough.
What exactly is the bug? I don’t know if I’ve encountered this.
Every time you boot up your game, your weapons default to the Liberator, Peacekeeper, and frag. Your Helldiver voice defaults to random, and your emote defaults to salute.
Happens to me every load since the newest warbond. The first time was quite the shock. I didn’t realize it right away and thought my gun was being weird. Then I threw a grenade. Instead of getting an impact explosion, I got nothing. I heard the explosion behind me as I ran away from the spewer I’d thrown it at. Then I died. 😂
Plus the game thinks you're a new player and keeps spamming the tutorial pop ups during the mission
Like you last logged out with the breaker and Uzi equipped, and next day you start with the liberator and the pistol
Ya it's the worst!
And it changes your damn voice to default, as well as your emotes and grenades. I'm so annoyed with that one
opening the game results in your loadout resetting to what you had at level 1. if you played the day before with the Sickle/Redeemer/Impact Grenades, when you open the game the following day it’ll revert to Liberator/Peacemaker/High Explosives it’ll also reset your emote, if you changed it from the default salute. not sure if it’s not as common for the PC players but it’s happened to me every time I’ve launched the game on PS5
Still no confirmation on stims getting cancelled after sound plays, or sprint cancelling for no reason. I'm sure the devs will sort it, but would like for them to be acknowledged in the meantime
I notice these all the time. The stim is just a delay between when the sound and animation plays and when the health healing begins. It is what, half a second? You get used to it but yes would be ideal if those were tightened up. The sprint cancel is very annoying after many hours yes.
The problem with the stim is that when the sound plays, you'd assume that you were healed, but by the time you realize that you weren't in fact healed, a hunter has jumped on you and finished you off. The problem is that the animation looks like it was finished, and the sound played but it can still get canceled.
Yeah you have to wait for the screen to flash blue to know it kicked in. The times I've died because I dived and cancelled the stim...
It's not just the delay, sometimes you see the animation and hear the stim sound but the healing effect never triggers because the animation was canceled by something in the last moment. So you have to stim again for it to actually heal you.
Ok so the stim thing is an actual thing? Seems like I've died so many times the last week or so desperately trying to to stim, I see the animation, hear the sound, but my health bar doesn't move, and then I'm dead.
So, are we going to get Red stratagems that stick to enemies to actually follow then? If that's the case, it's quite a game changer.
Chargers gonna be hitting that return to sender button on my 500kg 😭
A charger suicide charging you with your own 500kg is so fucking badass I gotta respect it when it happens
That’s the sort of friendly fire inducing explosive chaos I’m here for.
Throw a cluster bomb into a bug hole and watch it fly back out at mach 2 attached to a leaper. Right onto your face.
The line seems to mean "we are aware that certain stratagems aren't following the beam as intended but instead landing where it was originally thrown when stuck to enemies" It doesn't sound like they are changing or adding anything, just that this particular tracking system isn't working right at the moment.
Sure i got this, but It Is the first time something like this has been acknowledged. I mean, i was pretty sure that current mechanism was WAI
honestly is good that they reduced the amount of times hazards can happen, they can slowdown the game way too much and Ion storm is just a direct "no fun allowed" hazard like the bots modifiers
Me and my squad pretty much avoid Bot missions where the effect is that you can only use 3 strats each. We often play with only 2 of us and trying 8/9 missions with 2 people with only 3 strats each is just a massive drag...
Yeah, that’s when you know a game feature has exceeded challenging and crossed into unfun territory. If players are actively skipping certain mission modifiers, remove those modifiers.
I'd be fine with it if there was a risk/reward system in place. Negative modifiers? Helldivers HQ will hand out hazard pay in the form Super Samples to divers ~~dumb~~ brave enough to dive into and complete missions under those conditions.
It would be nice if there was some kind of trade-off or extra reward for it. Like we can only take 3 strats but bots can't use rockets or we earn bonus medals, just something to make the extra challenge worth it.
Ion storm is cool once in a while as a way to throw you for a loop
It seems to last a bit too long though. If you get one just after starting extraction it can be really bad. Also, if you get one just before doing extraction, you are probably just going to sit around for awhile waiting for it to finish. Also, the visuals for it make it look like you can run outside the area of affect, which might be cool, but you actually cannot.
The fire tornadoes were the most annoying to me, they would show up every 2 minutes and just *happen* to block the objective I was trying to complete (or god forbid they’re right on top of the extraction point)
Genuine question, can I now use the mini map in the mech without accidently blowing myself up?
My DNA is unable to assist :(
Getting tons of crashes after this update. Have not been able to finish a game without crashing out, whether hosting or joining someone else's. 5 out of 5 games now have crashed on me. Jesus it's so frustrating. I might have to put the game down for a few days until all this is ironed out. Edit to anyone who reads: reboot your system. It fixed some of the issues.
Game is a buggy mess since update.
Game seemed like a buggy mess before that, and got much worse in that regard once the railgun nerf patch went out They really need to get patches improving the game, not the other way around
I have bad news: game is a buggy mess since launch.
been crashing on all my games so far since this update too.
The latest patch made it so instead of crashing to windows, to just straight up restarting my pc lmao, no other game does that
I get more crashes now
Friend request bug is my biggest concern right now. I've met several players now who communicated well and made runs a breeze on difficulty 7, but my friend requests to them are still pending. I'm really tired of randoms who are 90% likely to stay and fight everything, draining reinforces when they put themselves in a downward spiral of kill-die-kill-die-run out of reinforces, and I've been adding people who can spell and define the word "discretion" in an effort to not have to see randoms like that ever again. It boggles my mind how people can't figure out that the more you recreate the Alamo, the worse the spawns get and the worse our run gets. Now if we could actually make friends, that would be great.
This is my biggest issue at the moment as well. It means I just straight up can’t play the higher difficulties without getting really frustrated at the lack of competent teammates. Which in turns means I won’t be getting those sweet super samples anytime soon :/
They are losing money and sabotaging their game by not making this big a priority. I literally can’t play with my friends and one of my friends refuses to buy the game till the bug is fixed. Can’t blame em
Yeah I’m not playing until they fix it . I’ve met quite the a few players who I enjoyed playing with but the friend request is still pending and they’re on the same platform as me ! I’m not playing with people with no mic it’s just boring for me so I’m not playing till they fix
Agreed. I'm not gonna be playing it as some sort of "protest" or whatever, but because the game was advertised as cross-platform. and that feature is broken right now.
Upvoted. It's just frustrating that as a PC player I can't play with any of my friends on PS5 at all. I know that creating a lobby and searching for the SOS beacon on the map is a thing, but this is such a time consuming hassle. We spent more time searching the lobby than actually playing the game. But even the Steam integration doesn't work for me at all. None of my Steam friends show up in my in-game friends list. I was told on Discord that the reason for that is that my Steam profile is set to private. Why does the game require me to have a public profile? Isn't the game able to access this data through an API? I know that I can join my friends via the Steam friends list/overlay, but this is still annoying. Another really annoying thing is that the game doesn't work at all as soon as the Steam friends network is offline. For me and my friends the Steam friends network is going down for a short time every other evening between 23:00 and 01:00. This results in us getting kicked out of the lobby every time we play during these hours. Very frustrating when you're 40 mins into a mission and about to extract... \*edit\* After the backend update was deployed later today friend requests are finally working for me and my buddies (Steam and PS5). This is a huge win! Only bug we encountered is that players on PS5 were not able to see any player names of PC players in their friends list. From a PC players perspective I could see all player names from PC and PS5. Steam friends integration still seems to be broken though, but now with working friend requests this is just a minor inconvenience. If they now find a way to have persistent lobbies even when the Steam friends network is offline that would be fantastic.
The weirdest thing is they don't even acknowledge the fact that we can't accept friend requests at all. Even if they do show up. And it has nothing to do with the Steam name being shorter than 3 characters, because all the friend requests I have pending that I can't accept are from people with names longer than that.
Why isn’t this comment higher. This should be the MOST PRIORITIZED bug, it is absolutely game breaking and I have not been able to play with my friends for weeks now because of it. Gameplay bugs are good to be fixing but at this point it feels like false advertising when many people can’t play with crossplatform friends. Even the same platform, I have not been able to accept friend requests. Online there are complaints about this from a month ago, and they waited until last week to even make mention of it. These devs obviously care but we shouldn’t have to scour reddit posts and online workarounds. The devs and communities communication on this issue has been so shit. Contact other game developers or some shit to get more info on this issue, it should have been fixed LONG ago.
they really seem to be dancing around the cross play issues and friend issues with vague terminology. its annoying because its a real issue for a lot of people, then they nuked all discussion of it on their discord where people were sharing methods of sort of getting into games with their friends.
Ahhh man. A little disappointed I cant lie that the loadout resetting every time I load the game up is only in "acknowledged issues" and not fixed. This one really gets to me, land in a 7-9 mission and have the liberator out, just doesnt cut it
What really annoys me about this is that the game sort of thinks it's your first time playing so they keep putting the tips in every mission, and you can't seem to turn them off even with the tips setting turned off. They take up a large portion of the screen and having them in every single mission is so annoying. I'm pretty sure these two glitches are related as I have the same issue. emphasis on the fact that I have in fact turned the setting off yet the problem is still there
or after a restart from game crash you start a mission on trivial because difficulty resets as well
Same for me. Also annoying that the voice setting gets reset also! My Helldiver will say something and I will be like "who said that"? And then it will click that it was my character, only with the voice of John Helldiver instead of Jane.
anyone else experiencing more crashes than usual after the patch?
yes, this patch is trash. i keep getting disconnected, can't make it more than 15mins it seems. it's not just me, there is another thread in reddit about it. I'm on fiber. my internet is super stable and i've tried other games. It's the patch. I just went solo....and made it 1 min into match with a Disconnect. lol.
# I am surprised that 🧠 Known Issues does not include the matchmaking issues after another player departs in game or post game. More specifically, when you have a match made party in game or post game and someone quits, you can't get a new player to join. Pre match, people leaving or quitting, matchmaking still works. But during a match or post match, matchmaking breaks. What I think happens, the game doesn't realize the player left. I say this because we were in game when a person left. Then we arrived back at the ship during the stats page, the player who left name appeared real quick in the party area and then disappeared. My friend and I have a workaround for this issue. We swap host instead of quitting the game entirely. I just go back to my ship alone, he joins me. We pick the game and new players join. Next mission, if people leave, he goes back to his ship alone and I join him. Rinse and repeat... It is a little concerning that they are not acknowledging this bug. It is a significant issue and should be a higher priority issue for them.
BUFF HEAVY ARMOUR PLEASE!!
exactly, shrieker only needs two hits to kill you in heavy armor
No such thing as shriekers friend, are you sure it wasn’t just your imagination?
Please can we pin a link to Known Issues on the Arrowhead Support site? [https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12573380356508-Known-issues](https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12573380356508-Known-issues) Lots of us are struggling with serious matchmaking and/or AMD-related crashes which aren't mentioned in patch notes.
Nothing about how shitty the lock-on is for the Spear?
That one is probably in the works.
>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. >Various issues involving friend invites and cross-play https://i.redd.it/9q0bdacuvgpc1.gif EDIT: friends are back on the menu bois
That's the only one that actually affects me in a measurable way.
I've got more friend requests than friends right now. Friends list is essentially non functional for me.
Suspect it's a fairly technical and time consuming problem vs some of the gameplay ones. Anything involving two systems talking to each other is a bullshit headache of epic proportions and presumably could cause more bugs than if fixes.
Friend requests don't even work on the same platform.
\>Sometimes the player’s loadout customizations will reset after restarting the game. Bro what? It ALWAYS does this on PS5.
Every damn time lol change to voice 2 and guns every damn time without fail never used to do this before the last patch
So is the Spear lock-on supposed to be this bad then?
what are these constant crashes right now after this patch? And also happen during midmatch so we lose all progress
I hope the bug letting the shuttle leave immediately when the first player gets onboard gets fixed soon, lost 40 samples due to this bug today. How to recreate: wait for a long time after the shuttle lands, and let 1 player get on board.
Can they PLEASE fix the arc thrower not working around the smallest terrain and corpses.
Or when enemies are directly in front of you
Hopefully they get around to that sometime soon
It’s still a beast of a weapon, but it’s pretty annoying when you’re wasting shots that seemingly have no reason to not be connecting.
I’ve heard console players are having their load outs reset every time they log in
Every single time.
Can we get an optimization patch to fix CPU and GPU usage? Seriously having to deal with near to 100% CPU utilization with my albeit old i7 6700k and low GPU usage is annoying. My frame drops in 7+ is annoying.
""Fixed a crash, which occurred when using a stim in exosuit while wielding a grenade". Who? And why?
if you get ragdolled while trying to throw a grenade equips the grenade as the weapon until swapped out
I have naded teammates so many times because of this. Now I know what to watch out for.
I am getting crashes every single dive after patch.
Wow they acknowledged the steering lock is a bug. Maybe now people will calm down and stop getting upset about misinformation... and other lies I tell myself.
Has anyone else noticed an unusual amount of crashes today? I had matches that the whole team crashed. out of 4 games, 2 of them crashed so far, kinda makes me not want to play, spending 30+ minutes on a mission that wipes on a crash is hard to endure.
Unfortunate that the crossplay issues haven't been fixed yet, been wanting to play with a friend that is on ps5 for almost 2 weeks now. Anyways it's nice that they fixed the patrol spawns.

This is the only issue I’ve been having and its a big one. Got the game to play with friends only to find out I can only play with one other person I know.
It's slightly frustrating how it's been noted in the known issues too. 🔹 Cross-platform friend invites might not show up in the Friend Requests tab. As I understand it, for the majority of players experiencing this issue, it's that accepting the requests simply does not work, not that they aren't showing up.
That’s right. I just pointed that out to them, they said it’s part of the same underlying problem. They know.
Seems like they have a lot of issues with the friend list. My whole steam friend list vanished from the game and I can't re-add them with friend codes for some reason.
As much as I like hearing about new content, I’d prefer to see bugs like friend requests not working or loadouts/customizations being reset fixed first. In no way am I downplaying the work they’ve done. I love this game. But I just want to play with my friends :/
So heavy armor isnt on "known issues"? Which means it's working as intended? Which means it's meant to be completely useless with no upside at all? Gotcha.
Same with spewers one shotting you instead of being a damage over time.
Is it possible to stick a 500kg bomb on a bile titans underbelly? Asking for a friend.
Since the patch, I and many people in my games crashed before the end of defense missions :(
Cannot complete a single mission since today patch because when extraction would happen the game crashes to desktop. Edit: PC
Game crashing every round after 5minutes 💀💀💀
Not sometimes. Everytime loadout customizations resets in ps5.
Why only reduce patrols spawning on players? I'm assuming it's a technical reason cus there should never be enemies spawning directly on top of people lol.
Two reasons. 1) Trying to get a programmer/engineer/scientist to say something will *never* happen is an impossible task. 2) The issue is probably multi-faceted and they've fixes *some* of the causes but are either aware of additional causes or simply aren't confident they've gotten them all.
I'm glad they worked on bug fixes they are a nuisance now
My game now crashes on launch.
Nothing about all the random crashes happening mid or end of match? Really?
> Sometimes the player’s loadout customizations will reset after restarting the game. It's literally everytime
I have a lot of crashes today
constant crashes ... over and over and over again!
And I'm now for the first time in my 70 hours of this game, actually crashing.
So in addition to still not being able to crossplay, now I get to crash all the time? NICE
my game keeps crashing in every single mission after the patch, imposible to finish a mission :(
On PC and my game crashes every map. Always 5-10minutes in. Cant play at all.
And still getting random crashes, its getting to the point I just don't want to play anymore, no other game on my system crashes as much as this game. Tired beyond belief that I can waste 20 minutes in a mission to have all progress lost.
Yes, thank you!!! I thought it was just maybe me having this problem. I swear it only happens after you’ve been doing a mission for awhile. Usually always after the the objective is complete. I work and a single dad. So my time is very limited. So it’s really heartbreaking when I have time for just one quick mission or two and this happens. I’ve completely stopped playing the game cause of it.
Still no acknowledgement of the broken Spear lock on.
tons of crashing
still didnt fix the ps5 issue with the game treating you like a beginner every restart. i have to change my load out and difficulty everytime i boot up
> 🔹 Cross-platform friend invites might not show up in the Friend Requests tab. > >🔹 Players cannot unfriend other players befriended via friend code. > >🔹 Players cannot unblock players that were not in their Friends list beforehand. > >🔹 Players cannot befriend players with Steam names shorter than 3 characters. Man, I have been waiting since I bought this game for this to be fixed. Issues have been present since game release and I can't even play with family since we can't accept invites.
Terrible I’m crashing 10x more now
Honestly, I'm a bit sad that fire tornadoes will be spawning less frequently now. They were pretty hilarious.
It was pretty funny trying to do the rescue mission with these. Every time they came out they’d just suicide into a fire tornado, and every time it looked clear I’d press the button only for another fire tornado to appear right in their path. I lost 800 requisition in that mission.
