Helldivers 2 devs pause new content to fix game performance

Helldivers 2 has always had somewhat shaky performance on PC, but the latest major content update for the game didn't help matters. Now, Arrowhead has put in place a new plan to address the game's growing issues on PC. 

As spotted by PCGamer, in a new developer diary video from the studio, Arrowhead confirms that future updates will now be restructured to allow them to fix issues at a quicker pace.

“We have made the decision to push some of our content and feature updates a little bit into the future while we're addressing these things to make sure that we can get to a much more stable state”, Arrowhead's Mikael Eriksson says in the video.

Some of the ongoing issues can be addressed ‘fairly quickly' with this studio-wide push. Some of the big improvements on the way will be announced with more detail soon.

The degradation of performance in Helldivers 2 has been partially due to growing tech debt, so the effort here is likely to be substantial. Hopefully by the new year, Helldivers 2 will be in a much healthier state, giving players room to be excited about new content and features once more.
