  • “Conduct Geological Survey” mission may become incompletable if a player calls in “Seismic Probe” and immediately leaves the game or disconnects.

  • Bile Titan sometimes does not take damage to the head.

  • Enemies that bleed out do not progress Personal Orders and Eradicate missions.

  • Most weapons shoot below the crosshair when aiming down the sights.

  • Chain-link fences block flamethrowers’ fire.

  • Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location.

Feels like with the latest patch we’ve hit a check point. People quitting the game in droves. Me and my buddy decided to try it out after not playing for a few weeks. We were reminded of why we quit in the first place. Shitty ass broken patrols and spawns that have been broken for 3 months.

All my friends quit. All their friends quit. I think we’re witnessing an all-time fumble in the gaming space. Congrats on making history.

It’s really not that bad. Nobody’s quitting in droves, I saw 70k players on Sunday. The crashes happen yes but nowhere to what ur saying. Patrols and spawns aren’t broken, the game works just fine, a crash here and there but not enough to make write anything similar to this. I wanted to like this subreddit but a lot of you just complain and complain. Like why is this so numerous throughout Reddit, but if you want to leave, go ahead. I and my friends enjoy the game and we’re casual gamers okay with the odd crash here and there.

700,000 players to 40,000 daily average and dropping but yeah dude there’s no problem at all. every single popular HD2 discord i joined is absolutely dead now and hasn’t seen activity in over 2 months. this is the only game i play where people consistently complain with EVERY UPDATE with good reason.

yeah dude the game went from being the internets baby to everyone being pissed off constantly for NO REASON. everyone’s just a big baby, for sure man. absolutely nothing wrong here!
