I suppose it’s appropriate that we get a Helldivers 2 patch on Valentine’s Day to address matchmaking. With the community lamenting disconnection issues, no doubt plenty are getting tired of the messy break-ups. Hopefully, today’s stability patch touches the hearts of all Helldivers 2 players.
It’s no secret that Helldivers 2 players have been having a, ahem, hell of a time finding matches and staying connected. Developer Arrowhead Game Studios has responded to the concerns, explaining the unusual situation while rolling out fixes and server updates. Indeed, being too successful can be its own burden. Patch 01.000.006, which rolled out today, further optimizes the game.
The patch itself isn’t massive, but could provide players some major relief. One of Arrowhead’s big goals with the update is to stabilize the game further by tackling crashes and connection issues. The patch also prepares the game by providing a “build for upcoming server matchmaking improvements.”
