Arrowhead Game Studios has released a new update for Helldivers 2, that addresses AFK players, fixes some stability issues and crashes, as well as improves backend performance. Due to the limited server capacity, lots of players were staying logged in but, thankfully, AFK players will now be kicked back to the title screen after 15 minutes.
In addition to fixing the server hogging issue, the new patch 1.000.11 fixes multiple crash issues, including those triggered when exiting ADS or joining other players' ships, various GameGuard and other issues, as well as brings improvements on client to backend communications.
