Helldivers 2 Devs Ask Players To "Let Democracy Lie For A Few Days" Due To Crashes

After Helldivers 2's latest patch caused the game to crash more often, Arrowhead has suggested that players "let democracy lie" for a few days.

As anyone who has spent time searching for Mechs and APC will no doubt know, Helldivers 2 is almost constantly being updated, sometimes very publicly to add in new seasonal content and sometimes secretly to add in features and mechanics that haven't even been announced yet.

Arrowhead developer "Twinbeard" posted on the Discord, revealing that hotfix is in the works but won't be released over the weekend, suggesting it could release as early as Monday.

That wasn't all that Twinbeard had to say, however. After confirming that a hotfix for the crashes is being worked on, he suggested that players leave the game alone for a while while they wait for the fix, saying that Arrowhead will "be here waiting even if you let democracy lie for a few days".

This isn't the first time that Arrowhead has had to suggest that players leave Helldivers 2 alone for a while. Back when the game first launched and was plagued with server issues due to how many people were trying to play online, Arrowhead CEO Johan
