Eventually, the sturdy boot of Managed Democracy will probably be delivered to those that deserve it practically as a lot as bugs and bots. The most recent patch for Helldivers 2 provides an AFK kick timer to take away AWOL gamers in order that energetic divers will be allowed to unleash justice.

Following patch 1.000.11, Helldivers 2 will boot lobby-dwellers after quarter-hour of inactivity. There are different fixes with the patch, thoughts. However the timer is a crucial addition.

Helldivers 2 will get a much-needed AFK timer to kick AWOL divers

It’s no secret that the sport’s group has been clamoring for such an replace. Helldivers 2 has been explosively widespread, bringing in additional than 450,000 gamers on Steam alone. Some have joked {that a} small variety of these gamers had been possible those that managed to get within the sport however refused to depart.

Hopefully, the patch will permit gamers to leap into the sport easily slightly than having to attend issues out. I’ve a brand new Stratagem that I want to check on Automatons this weekend.

Granted, it’s in all probability not an ideal system. Again in my day (I’m previous and allowed to say it), gamers who wished to remain AFK in a sport would use a rubber band on a controller’s thumbstick. It could trick the sport into considering the participant was nonetheless on-line, however maybe hopelessly confused. I agree with those that say gamers who need to keep ought to kind out a Stratagem cheat code as an alternative.

Different points addressed, and a few issues that stay

Listed here are different points addressed by the patch (courtesy of Arrowhead):

• Fastened a number of crashes triggered when becoming a member of different gamers’ ships

There are nonetheless some issues that Arrowhead is conscious of. Armor values are nonetheless tousled, and disconnects proceed to happen throughout matches. Oh, and there’s error code 10003001 on PS5 that I’ve turn into intimate associates with. Certainly, the street to Democracy is lengthy, however it needs to be definitely worth the laborious struggle.
