Possibly worth checking back in, but frankly I think I'll still rather wait until they drop new content like the Illuminate.

Also wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of new issues will pop up now, as is tradition with Helldivers game updates.

The player base are the beta testers!

Sadly too true. Just tried a quick round, ended up getting stuck in the debrief screen where the ship is supposed to fly to the cruiser and had to Alt F4 out of the game. These kind of issues get quite tiresome.

Tried some more and sadly had a bunch of people crashed in my lobby a couple of times, and I crashed one game too. Later I started the game and I got logged out "due to inactivity" while on my ship for barely 30 seconds checking out a few items lmao

It's so annoying how bigs repeatedly happen, including stuff that's been fixed before, after every game update.

Thanks for confirming that it’s still not worth trying to jump back in.

My dude, the patch just came out. It's likely just a surge of traffic.

[–] PunchingWood@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I don't think it's a traffic surge issue. The disconnects, crashes and getting stuck in some screens have been issues since launch. Some of them got fixed, but they seem to keep returning every update. Especially the crashes often seem related to specific weapons or actions. Like previously it was the Arc weapons that had high risk of crashes, at some point even throwing snowballs was advised against because it would often introduce crashes.
