Greetings Helldivers, We know many of you have been experiencing issues including performance drops, stability hiccups, freezes, and the annoying audio bugs. We’ve seen the feedback across Discord, forums, Reddit and our dashboards. You’ve been loud, clear, and absolutely right to expect better. We also recognise that our recent updates haven’t hit the mark, and our silence hasn’t helped. That’s on us. We read all of it and we are hard at work creating a roadmap to address this. Starting with the good news: there is an incoming update (mid October-ish) where we’ll start chipping away at: -Some key crash fixes -Fixed the Primary weapon/Side-arm audio that stops during a mission -Minor performance improvements -Long overdue bug fixes, like Charger footstep sounds (pretty useful) or weapon audio stopping mid mission -No more landing on caves -A Balance Pass (we’re unleashing Niklas & Lennart) For some of the bigger performances pieces unfortunately we can’t wave a ‘short-turnaround-magic-wand’, nor would a 60 day patch fix them fully (rather it would be duct tape where we need to solder); so we’re working on a bigger development plan as to how we can address some of the larger concerns. Short term, we think the above will make a noticeable improvement, and beyond that we’ll keep working on the top issues you keep raising. In the future, we’re planning more transparency and more talk! We’re looking to share more about the processes, performance and how we got here, plus further improvements and evolution. For starters expect another post next week to kick that off. Between the Xbox launch, the Halo: ODST Legendary Warbond, the free Into the Unjust update, and other surprises, we’ve welcomed a ton of new players, brought back veterans, and delivered a lot of content. Now, it’s time to double down on fixes, polish, and better communication. TL;DR We hear you, we want things to be in a better state, we are taking it very seriously, we will continue working and sharing. Thanks for sticking with us! For Super Earth! The Arrowhead Dev Team
