Helldivers 2 patch goes live "ahead of schedule" to calm angry divers, but it doesn't seem to address Into the Unjust update's biggest problems

Helldivers 2's Into the Unjust update came with some massive changes, massive underground tunnels, and a massive bug-dragon type enemy that's been bullying my squad for the last two days. But it also came with equally big problems, prompting Arrowhead Game Studios' CEO to release a public statement and the devs to push out a patch "ahead of schedule."

"Our latest patch is now live, released ahead of schedule with some additional crash fixes to address some of the issues players are experiencing," community manager Katherine 'Baskinator' Baskin reveals on the game's Discord server, reposted to Reddit. The patch apparently includes fixes for crashes related to cave and bug missions, a fix for the wonky lighting in some caves, and a fix for the drunk Pelican-1 pilot's even more wonky landing.

You see, in the bug-ridden tunnels, divers can occasionally find areas with an open roof allowing you to call stratagems underground. Sadly, doing so is largely inconsistent – one time I even respawned on top of a cave structure and had to fall to my death. A few mission objectives will also drop on cave roofs, which are normally inaccessible.
