Helldivers 2 patch notes 01.000.404 detail the major fixes

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead is taking a summer hiatus, but has assured fans that the game won’t be completely abandoned. Assuring players that the game will not be abandoned, they also said that hotfixes will be delivered if needed. A new hotfix has been released and Helldivers 2 patch update 01.000.404 detail some major fixes.

As Arrowhead entered “semi-siesta” mode with many employees over the summer break, fans were told not to expect a “major overhaul” this month. Previous leaks suggested that Illuminate would arrive by mid-July, but that has now been called into question. The game recently lost over 90% of its player base, but players are expected to return once Illuminate finally arrives.

July may be a barren month due to the summer break, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any updates. Arrowhead has just released a new hotfix for Helldivers 2, and the patch notes for update 01.000.404 include several fixes.

Helldivers 2 patch update 01.000.404

Below are the patch notes for Helldivers 2 01.000.404:

Overview

This hotfix aims to resolve crashes and reduce the number of people stuck on the hellpod boot screen.

Repairs

• Fixed the upgrade of the ‘Superior Packing Methodology’ ship module (technically it was fixed on the server side and works since July 1st).
• Fixed crashes and glitches that occurred when crashing into a mission.
• Fixed cases where players were stuck on the hellpod loading screen.
• Fixed a crash that occurs after changing settings (it should actually be fixed this time, the last patch didn’t stick the landing and we sent the engineer responsible to the Super Earth re-education camp).
