Oh dear. Helldivers 2's latest patch – rolled out with the sole purpose of optimization, tackling issues, and making the fight for Managed Democracy feel smoother than ever – has apparently had the exact opposite effect for some, with players reporting worsened graphics and some zany visual glitches after the update.
Today's Helldivers 2 patch – created by Arrowhead in collaboration with Nixxes Software – was supposed to be the devs' "opening salvo in an ongoing campaign to improve performance across the fleet," and looking at the patch notes, you'd think that's exactly what had been achieved. "From upscaling technologies and latency-reduction features to various optimizations and stability fixes, this patch is built to help you stay on target when the battlefield gets chaotic," the devs explained today. Support for FSR 3.1.5, DLSS 4.5, and XeSS 3.0 upscalers was added, amongst other things.
