Helldivers 2 gamers have been complaining about degraded efficiency for a while, and Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani says that whereas it is a pure end result of all the extra content material the sport has gotten over the previous yr, the devs are already at work on enhancements.
“Concerning efficiency. we’re 100% conscious efficiency ain’t nice now,” Jorjani says in a message on the sport’s official Discord (by way of VG247). “We’re monitoring carefully and have quite a few issues in movement. We’ll be sharing particulars on what we’ll do within the not too distant future. We recognize the persistence till we get again to our traditional efficiency.”
Again in March, Helldivers 2 launched a patch which, amongst different issues, “elevated the variety of AI calculations the sport can carry out.” The devs warned that this transformation may need a “slight trade-off” in efficiency, however within the quite a few complaints that have come via for the reason that replace, it is develop into clear that the problem is greater than “slight” for a lot of gamers.
“The extra we add when it comes to content material the more durable efficiency turns into,” Jorjani continues. “We then need to do a little bit of housekeeping. Hopefully sooner or later we’ll be capable of add content material that has much less impression.”
Precisely what impression the enhancements Arrowhead is planning can have stays to be seen, however not less than it is clear they have these points in thoughts as they proceed to replace the sport as a complete. And Jorjani is already teasing a few of these updates, too – in response to a query about future upgrades for the Democracy House Station, he says “the DSS has barely scratched its potential.” Ominously thrilling.
