Helldivers 2 Gets Performance Boost with Load Time Improvements
Helldivers 2, the renowned shooter from Arrowhead Game Studios, has received updates to enhance the gaming experience for all players. The developers have implemented changes to improve load times and have also addressed the welcoming nature of the game's community.
Initially, some players on Xbox expressed a desire to put new players through their paces. However, the community has since proven to be welcoming, with players eager to help newcomers adapt to the game.
Arrowhead Game Studios has taken steps to optimise the game's performance on various platforms. For PC players, the studio has duplicated game data to minimise load times. The build system ensures that duplicated files are stored close together on the hard drive, reducing seeking time. This update benefits the approximately 12% of PC players who still use hard drives, which number around 45,000 to 50,000 at peak player count. While there is no specific data on the percentage of PC players using HDDs, the studio recognises the impact this has on overall game performance.
Helldivers 2 is also smaller on Xbox Series X/S and PS5 compared to PC, thanks to the optimisation efforts. This reduction in size helps to improve load times and overall gameplay smoothness on these platforms.
Helldivers 2 continues to evolve, with Arrowhead Game Studios committed to improving the gaming experience for all players. The community has shown a welcoming spirit, and the developers' efforts to optimise load times and storage space ensure that the game remains enjoyable for a wide range of players.
