Helldivers 2 update 01.000.303 patch notes address common crashes

Arrowhead Game Studios has released a new Helldivers 2 update just one day after the previous 01.000.302 update. This new patch addresses common crash issues which have only been made worse since the previous update. Hopefully, this new update will stop players from crashing mid-game like we’ve been seeing over the past day or so.

Here are the Helldivers 2 01.000.303 update patch notes.

Helldivers 2 01.000.303 Patch Notes

Arrowhead Game Studios has released the new Helldivers 2 01.000.303 update, which addresses common crashes in the game, which have only been made worse by the previous 01.000.302 update. Check out the full patch notes below.

Fixes

Crashes

• Fix for common crash related to damage over time use
• Fix for very common crash related to hot joining quickplay session that become full

This unfortunately means that hot joining players won’t show up in the recent players list until they drop down to the planet, or not at all if they leave from the loadout.

Known Issues

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. 

• Players may not have the option to send, accept or decline friend requests.
• Blocked players are not added to the Blocked Players list and are not prevented from joining games.
• Reinforcement may not be available for some players who join a game in progress.
• Helldiver may be unable to stand up from crouching when surrounded by enemies.
• Game may crash if the player changes the text language while on a mission.
• Players may experience delays in Medals and Super Credits payouts.
• Enemies that bleed out do not progress Personal Orders and Eradicate missions.
• Arc weapons sometimes behave inconsistently and sometimes misfire.
• Spear’s targeting is inconsistent, making it hard to lock-on to larger enemies.
• Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location.
• Explosions do not break your limbs (except for when you fly into a rock).
• Area around Automaton Detector Tower makes blue stratagems such as the Hellbomb bounce and be repelled when trying to call them down close to the tower.
• Planet liberation reaches 100% at the end of every Defend mission.
• Some weapons in the tutorial have missing parts presenting as question marks in some cases.
• Hot joining players won’t show up in the recent players list until they drop down to the planet, or not at all if they leave from the loadout.

Based on the patch notes, there are still many fixes that need to be addressed, but these will be ticked off the list over time as more updates roll out. May 9th will see the Polar Patriots Warbond released, which will add new weapons, armor, and cosmetics in the latest monthly Warbond. This comes as the battle against the Terminids heats up with the latest Major Order calling for the liberation of four planets. To ensure victory, we highly recommend checking out our Helldivers 2 best weapons guide and best armor guide so you can effectively eradicate the Terminids in the name of democracy.
