In a lengthy social media post, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios acknowledged "issues including performance drops, stability hiccups, freezes, and the annoying audio bugs." The plan is to start addressing those problems next month, though performance-related fixes will require a longer-term solution.

The first update is slated to arrive in "mid-October-ish" for Helldivers 2, according to the game's official X account. That patch will focus on crashing issues, audio interruptions for primary weapon/sidearm, minor performance upgrades, and more. However, for "bigger performance pieces" in the third-person shooter, Arrowhead states that it needs more than two months to "address some of the larger concerns."

Greetings Helldivers,

We know many of you have been experiencing issues including performance drops, stability hiccups, freezes, and the annoying audio bugs.

We’ve seen the feedback across Discord, forums, Reddit and our dashboards. You’ve been loud, clear, and absolutely right…

In addition, Arrowhead added that it's aiming for "more transparency and more talk" about Helldivers 2 moving forward. That will begin next week with a new post about the shooter, according to the developer.

Embracer Group CEO Phil Rogers has commented on AI in gaming, saying it's the "most powerful technology tool of our generation" and one that the company wants to deploy strategically.

During an investor meeting recently reported on by Game File, Rogers said, "Players aren't longing for generic, soulless side quests or synthetic AI voices." He's very bullish on AI technologies and how they may be able to help developers with things like "driving efficiency, and ultimately delivering the high quality, memorable games our players demand."

Rogers went on to say he is aware of the "concern from players and developers alike" about AI, but in his belief, a greater risk is using AI "without a strong ethical framework."
