Helldivers 2 receives major gameplay update and emergency crash fix

Arrowhead Game Studios has released significant updates for Helldivers 2, including a major version 7.1.0 patch and an emergency hotfix, version 1.007.101, to address player feedback and technical stability.

The 7.1.0 update introduces several gameplay adjustments requested by the community. Key changes include preventing enemies from attacking unoccupied vehicles, ensuring kills made with mines, drones, and vehicles are counted in statistics, and fixing a bug that prevented players from returning to combat after reinforcement requests. Additionally, enemy spawns have been rebalanced to ensure better distribution near players, and evacuation missions have increased in difficulty for larger squads.

Following these changes, the emergency hotfix 1.007.101 was issued to resolve crashing issues occurring in fullscreen mode when opening terminals and problems related to superwide window resolutions. The development team is also investigating ongoing known issues, such as input problems with Microsoft IME languages and certain UI discrepancies.
