The boss of Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has addressed player concern about bugs (not those bugs) as the studio continues to release new content and new premium warbonds.
Did it get worse over the last week, or is this something that comes up in high level (7+) difficulties?
I have just barely gotten into the high level content and it has been smooth so far, but I know there is a lot less complexity going on in the lower level content.
I’m with you… after the first week or two, I’ve encountered literally 0 major bugs. A little thing here or there, but nothing that prevents me from completing a mission or picking up loot
There was a week where me and my friends were crashing after every mission, but we got all the medals, samples, and XP so it was a bit annoying byt just meant an extra minute reloading. Think that was the worst for us.
Some people do have it worse though, and i’m hoping for more bug fixes so things play the way they are supposed to.
The worst was the week where they added accuracy to the arc weapons so after a long mission, usually right at extraction, the people using arc weapons would have accuracy go over an overflow and crash the game for everyone.
I just didn’t play at all until that was patched after a while.
People got so fucking angry being told they couldn’t bring arc weapons because it would literally crash the fucking game. No dude, I’m not telling you how to play, I’m telling you what’s going to ruin the entire run for everyone involved, including yourself.
I’m around level 5 still mostly, I only joined fairly recently. I’ve only had 1 full ctd so far but I’ve been stuck in geometry countless times, one time the extraction console wouldn’t activate, one time a geometry glitch prevented us from boarding the escape ship. Sometimes my weapons won’t switch and when I go to iron sights it’ll just show my empty hands.
It’s a testament to how great the game is that I still can’t wait to play more though haha

This one’s super annoying, but you can usually fix it by switching weapons, and toggling between first-person and third-person while ADS’ing, then switching back to the other weapon and toggling viewpoints again. But it still sucks, because it completely takes you out of the fight when it happens.

Most of my issues are glitching through the ground from explosions or prone diving into terrain objects and getting stuck that way.
There is the occasional crash too, but the most annoying ones are where you get stuck and have to hope you can kill yourself with grenades to get out.
