Helldivers 2 has just released its highly anticipated update, titled Into the Unjust, on September 2nd. This new update brings exciting changes, including new missions and enemies, but it also appears to have caused a surge in crash reports among players. The development team at Arrowhead is currently investigating these issues to provide fixes and improve the gaming experience.
If you missed the initial announcement of the Into the Unjust update, fear not! Edwin, a key member of the team, shared a comprehensive overview of the update's features. This update introduces Terminid cave missions on Hive Worlds, which are crucial for aiding Super Earth's ongoing battle against a sinister cloud. Additionally, players will encounter new enemies that enhance the game’s difficulty and engagement.
As Arrowhead has been transparent about in previous updates, the introduction of new content can often lead to unforeseen issues. Unfortunately, Into the Unjust is no exception, as players have reported an increase in crashes following the update's launch. Community manager Katherine Baskin addressed this concern on Discord, assuring players that the development team is actively working on isolating the issues. "We are aware of the issues with crashing, which are NOT in accordance with Super Earth Standards, and we are working to isolate fixes now. We apologize for this delay and will report back with updates soon," she stated.
In addition to the crash issues, players on the Helldivers 2 subreddit have expressed their frustration regarding the growing file size of the game on PC. Many users, including myself, have experienced lengthy update times, leading to concerns about performance and accessibility. A popular thread on this topic has garnered over 9.1k upvotes and nearly 800 comments within just six hours, indicating that this is a widespread issue that Arrowhead may need to address.
As I attempted to install the Into the Unjust update on my gaming setup, I faced significant delays that seemed to be exacerbated by my use of the PC for work. While it’s easy to blame the game’s file size for the slower update, I acknowledge that multitasking could also be a contributing factor. Nevertheless, I plan to delve into the new missions tonight, and I will share my experiences and any unexpected challenges I encounter.
The Into the Unjust update for Helldivers 2 has introduced exciting new content, but it has also come with challenges that the Arrowhead team is working hard to resolve. As the community awaits fixes for the crashing issues and seeks clarity on the game’s increasing file size, players are encouraged to stay updated on the developers' progress.
