Fixes
Gameplay
We have fixed issues with the way Damage-over-time effects were being applied. This should fix issues where only the network session owner could apply them, and other cases where they would be applied inconsistently.
Firing the Punisher Plasma while wearing a shield backpack no longer damages the Helldiver
Fixed issues with some weapon scopes not being aligned in First-Person-View.
The sound when stimming no longer plays while being interrupted
Major orders with the “Kill task” now track score correctly. Previously it counted the entire squad’s kills once for each player, meaning it would multiply the score by the number of people on the mission; this is now amended.
Helldivers can no longer land on tall rocks in the “Horde Defend Missions”
Helldivers can no longer land on top of bug pillars in Deactivate Terminid Control System missions
Fix for the reinforce stratagem not being present if a Helldiver leaves the session before readying up and then hot joining the active session
Crashes
Fixed a crash that could occur when all players were dead on the “Deactivate Terminid Control System” mission
Fixed a crash that could occur on game shutdown
Fixed a crash that could occur when leaving the mission and rejoining
Fixed a crash that could occur at the end of cutscenes
Fixed a crash that could occur when diving into missions
Fixed a tutorial crash that could occur on PC when ALT+Tabbing
Fixed a rare crash that could occur when using beam weapons
Fixed a rare crash that could occur for players on startup when using VPN
Fixed a soft lock that could occur if the player would open the text chat while having the stratagem menu open
Other general crash fixes
Social Menu fixes
PC players adding friends through friend codes can no longer show up as “Unknown”
Fixed overlapping footers inside menus
Steam friends should now be visible in Social Menu, even though Friends List is not set to Public in Steam Privacy Settings
Recent Players list will now include hot-joining players
Players are now able to unblock players that were not in their friends list beforehand
Fixed issue with empty friend-names in Social Menu
Lobby privacy mode text updates immediately when changed
Player names longer than 26 characters should now update properly in the Social Menu
Fixed issue where non-host players could kick others indiscriminately including the host
