On April Fools' Day, Helldivers 2 released a small patch, 01.002.202, which addresses crashing on legacy hardware. This follows previous reports from PC players using older systems facing crashes after the larger patch 01.002.200, linked to AI calculations. While the latest patch does not explicitly mention the AVX2 issue, it aims to rectify problems encountered by players with older CPUs. Some community feedback suggests improvements, but confirmation on the patch's effectiveness regarding the AVX2 issue remains unclear as developers continue their work on a definitive fix.
For now, trying to read into what various players are posting in the channels of Helldivers 2's Discord server, it's difficult to tell for 100% certain whether this patch has changed anything for everyone who was struggling to run the game on their older PCs.
Arrowhead confirmed last week that it's working on a fix for this 'AVX2 issue'. Enter patch 01.002.202, and the fix it makes that caught my eye.
