Arrowhead will target Helldivers 2's "crippling" tech issues now Xbox release is sorted, but would rather not do a "performance-only update"

CEO besides admits the freshly deployed Into the Unjust update "didn't deed the mark" performance-wise

Shams Jorjani, brag of Helldivers 2 developers Arrowhead, has taken to Discord to code the emergence successful reports of show issues pursuing the accomplishment of the shooter's Into the Unjust update. In summation to admitting that the caller summation has missed the people from a stableness pespective, the exec added that the game's Xbox merchandise present being successful the rear presumption reflector should escaped up much resources to tackle show problems.

Since the Terminid spelunking expedition-themed update arrived yesterday, players person cited an uptick successful crashes that Arrowhead are already looking into, with the installation size the game's ballooned to connected PC and your accustomed sorts of pesky bugs besides being sources of ire, astatine slightest among vocal online Helldivers.

In airy of that, Arrowhead CEO Jorjani made 1 of his reasonably regular trips to Helldivers 2's Discord server past night, to code immoderate of the concerns folks determination were raising. "Performance is thing we’ve talked astir a TON today. It’s not bully enough," helium admitted reasonably aboriginal on. "A hole for immoderate of the astir contiguous things is being prepped."

"Nobody is saying 'this is fine' astatine Arrowhead oregon PlayStation," helium added an a abstracted post. "We are talking astir what to bash otherwise - cus we truly privation to merchandise contented AND support show successful line. With [the] Xbox merchandise down america much resources volition beryllium available." Jorjani made the past constituent a fig of times, erstwhile discussing fixes for show issues that've drawn ire from players connected and disconnected for a while, but person travel to a caput with this update.

The update isn't the basal origin of the issues. Instead, the CEO links them to a build-up of engine-related limitations helium calls "technical debt". "The method indebtedness is crippling," helium wrote successful different of these galore posts. "With the Xbox merchandise down america we'll beryllium capable to instrumentality a overmuch amended stab astatine it. Like a treble stab with a bigger knife."

Jorjani reckons a azygous monolithic performance-focused update - thing helium said Arrowhead would "prefer not to person to do", but volition if it's "needed" - wouldn't beryllium capable to tackle each of this tech debt. He besides suggested that pulling each the game's developers disconnected of creating caller additions, similar warbonds, and putting them onto fixes isn't the elemental solution it mightiness seem, writing: "if we could enactment each azygous psyche connected conscionable performance/stability and importantly amended those we would - but not everyone tin marque an interaction connected show and the issues that request to beryllium fixed are analyzable and instrumentality clip to enactment at."

I didn't tally into immoderate large issues portion dipping my toed into the update past night, but here's hoping Arrowhead tin connection immoderate show alleviation soon. For now, their CEO doesn't reckon this uptick successful subordinate dissatisfaction has enactment the shooter backmost successful arsenic dire straits arsenic it recovered itself pursuing the Escalation of Freedom update past year. The workplace ended up unveiling a 60-day program of tweaks, successful an effort to crook astir subordinate sentiment backmost then.

While acknowledging determination are "definitely immoderate similarities" betwixt the 2 situations, Jorjani argued that this clip it astatine slightest isn't a treble whammy of subordinate frustrations astir however the crippled plays mechanic-wise and however it runs. "Since then, I deliberation it's harmless to accidental we've fixed 1 happening and kept wobbling connected the other," helium wrote. "I anticipation we proved backmost past that we won't springiness up till we get it right."
