Helldivers 2 has been a hit since its February 8 launch but players have been suffering from major crash and disconnect issues. An update released on February 14 looks to address many of these problems so here are the full Helldivers 2 Patch 0.1000.006 notes.

Helldivers 2 sees players team up to battle hordes of alien threats in action-packed third-person gameplay. As the game is always online with multiplayer front and center, when it crashes or things go wrong with the servers, you can lose all of your progress.

Players have been begging the devs to add a rejoin option or a way to complete the mission on their own but in the meantime, the devs, Arrowhead Game Studios, released a small patch on February 14 to address these crashing and disconnect issues.

Here are the full patch notes for Helldivers Patch 01.000.06 for PC and PlayStation 5.
