Matchmaking

Playfab environment optimized – All lobbies now have proper data to run more effective matchmaking
Filtering optimization
We are optimizing the filter system when players are searching for lobbies so that it excludes already full lobbies.
Stability and crashes
We have fixed three of our top crashes in the game, including particle renderer crashes and ragdoll crashes.
Fixed an issue where the application prioritized integrated graphics over some GPU in laptops.
Defend Events and Major Orders.
For readability purposes, we added a visual progression indicator to major order defend events
The developer has also acknowledged known issues and will roll out future fixes within the next Helldivers 2 update. It is currently working on possible fixes for the issues at hand. These include issues like:
Players may still experience some instability while matchmaking.
Background music, Sound effects, and JP audio do not play during the opening cutscene. Japanese VO is also missing from the Ship TV.
However, fans have resorted to expressing their frustrations with the Helldivers 2 update 01.000.008 on platforms like Reddit and Twitter (X). Due to the game’s massive success on PC and PS5, players appear to be flooding the game servers. These servers seem are ill-equipped to handle such a huge amount of traffic. Hence, players are receiving an error message during the game’s startup which reads “Login Limit Reached.”
