Players of Helldivers 2 are voicing their frustrations regarding the game’s optimization issues, particularly for PC users, who are experiencing significant performance setbacks.

On September 2, the current game update “Into the Unjust” was released, but the community is demanding immediate improvements.

Issues Raised by Players

Many fans are taking to platforms like Reddit to discuss concerns over file size, with the game now occupying over 140GB on PC. They speculate that outdated optimization methods may be causing unnecessary storage use without enhancing performance on SSDs, which are standard in modern systems.

In addition to storage issues, players report lag and freezing during gameplay, with some also noting audio glitches.

Despite assurances from Arrowhead Game Studios about prioritizing bug fixes, many players feel the focus has shifted to content updates instead of addressing existing problems. The call for the developers to halt new content releases until performance improves grows louder, indicating a potential risk of players abandoning the game altogether if these concerns are not adequately addressed.

With the popularity of Helldivers 2 at stake, it remains crucial for the developers to take immediate action to resolve these issues before they lead to widespread player dissatisfaction.
