Arrowhead has released another patch for Helldivers 2 and it's good news for those incredibly popular players among us - the game will no longer crash if you have too many friends.

This patch - Patch 01.000.006 to give it its full name - also addresses those crashes that could occur during the extraction cutscene and when users disconnect during the joining cutscene.

Along with stability fixes, this patch also improves matchmaking experiences.

Our Chris Tapsell shared his thoughts on Helldivers 2 yesterday, calling the game "a breath of fresh air".

"Helldivers 2 is a blast; a messy, frenetic, straight-into-the-action whirlwind of quickfire jokes quickplay matches (when they're working). If you played even the slightest bit of the first Helldivers, though, none of this should come as a surprise," Chris wrote in Eurogamer's Helldivers 2 feature, before concluding:

"If video games are looking for answers right now, this one might be a good place to start."
