Publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment and developer Arrowhead Game Studios have released a new update – Patch 01.000.404 – for Helldivers 2.

The update fixes the ‘Superior Packing Methodology’ ship module upgrade, fixes crashes and glitches occurring when dropping into a mission, and more.

Read the patch notes below:

This hotfix aims to resolve crashes and to reduce the number of people stuck in the hellpod drop-in loading screen.

Fixed the ‘Superior Packing Methodology’ ship module upgrade (technically this was fixed on the server side and has been working since July 1st).
Fixed crashes and glitches occurring when dropping into a mission.
Fixed instances of players becoming stuck in the hellpod loading screen.
Fixed a crash that occurs after changing settings (this should be fixed for real this time, the last fix didn’t stick the landing and we have sent the responsible engineer to a Super Earth re-education camp).

These are issues that were either introduced by this patch and are being worked on, or are from a previous version and have not yet been fixed.
