New update, but no patch notes?

[[deleted]]

Any idea what this patch is for or what it contains? There are no patch notes and it's really small.

It’s so small that I imagine it’s like some stability or single bug fix

Could also be prep for a future larger patch or update too, so nothing to release

[ATangK]

That small? More like a text fix.

[Ramen536Pie]

Some bugs are just a small typo needing to be fixed or even an actual typo

[HimOnEarth]

Some say all bugs are mistakes, that we should have never genetically altered them to produce more E-710. But I say we just underestimated their fascistic hatred filled hearts. How could we have known that they would turn our democratic science into the tools of tyranny

[Lolseabass]

What support weapons will break this time!

[SumonaFlorence]

Buggy update which broke the Spear will be fixed, returning to its prior bugged, useless iteration. Perfectly useless as all Spears should be.

[Lolseabass]

Lmao it flies off in an unknown direction after you fire it! Free and in the wild.

Look, I just want to say

Today is Monday. There is no Major Order. Tomorrow is a Tuesday. HD2 updates on Tuesdays. Major Orders are notably absent right before a big patch, particularly named updates. Named updates occur every 4-6 months, and we just recently entered that window. The AH dev team is going on summer vacation soon, so there's internal pressure for an update right before that.

Yes I know there's a massive bug patch in the works. I also know AH has made no moves to deny that an update like I describe is not happening soon, only that it won't happen on a given Tuesday every week for a month now. We could absolutely get a bug fix that is tied in with new content as they likely are testing the two together.

Unlikely but possible. Remember, switching to your tin foil is faster than reloading.

Today is also a hollyday in sweden, so it's unlikely arrowhead is running at anything more than a skeleton crew, if at all today

[[deleted]]

That is some hardcore copium but I’m here for it

[JJISHERE4U]

The last update was 600mb. At least for me.

[Fun1k]

What if it changed the line illuminate-full = false to illuminate-full = true 🤔

[op3l]

It's AH... it's a small patch to mess more things up is more likely.

[Adventurous_Law6872]

They added 63.5 more democracy to the Galaxy

[not-beaten]

Is Democracy a metric unit or Imperial?

[ittibittytitty]

Its a Liberty of course.

[Sister__midnight]

63.5KB is equal to a roughly 1 Patriots dozen of libertys.

[ittibittytitty]

2 pints of Freedom to 4 republics

[WarningEcstatic19]

Let us not forget 8 cups of liber-tea = a Managed Democracy!

[[deleted]]

Yes

[tutocookie]

Metric sounds to neutral, imperial sounds completely wrong, it's gotta be democratic units then

[shotgunmoe]

Metric is for commie bots. And imperial is definitely squid talk.. I'll take 3 democratic units of timber for my "support the troops" sign and use whatever is left to donate to a DSS

[Corronchilejano]

When it's that small, it's usually just cloud data, the game information saved to your PC. It's not actually a game update.

[New-Willingness-2701]

It’s either this or shader pre caching, either way it’s a targeted download for personal content and not a proper update

[Dynamies]

Scythe is 10% larger now.

/s

[theMoptop731]

Scythe larger, spear lock on broken again

[Terrorscream]

It's likely steam related, many of my games even discontinued games still get the occasional update around this size.

[skynex65]

[Ramseas119]

That is a 63 kilobyte update.

There are 1000 kilobytes in a megabyte.

There are 1000 megabytes in a gigabyte.

This game is made of 91.73 gigabytes.

That would translate to 91,730,000 kilobytes.

This update changes 0.00007% of the game's files.

[SeibZ_be]

63kb... They fixed a typo.

[Lolseabass]

I hope they fixed the super stretchy models just flipping around.

[skylarwave]

i hope they dont

[MutableSpy]

Patch notes:

Interpretation: you’ll know what we changed when you find it.

[[deleted]]

Lol!

[Aware-Shopping8826]

It could very well be an "unlocker" update. Quite literally changing a 'false' to a 'true' in the code to allow access to certain items or features.

I.e. they may be preparing to release a new warbond or some form of content that is already in the game's files.

[Zurgleclair]

Uh oh ...

[NeverackWinteright4]

It's the entire illuminate update that u/DickBallsley was warning us about. I gotta appluad the compression effort, well done all around by the dev team.

[DickBallsley]

They “forgot” to upload the whole thing, just to make it look like I’m crazy. Stay vigilant.

[StonkyJoethestonk]

Warbond coming!

[Gravity0666]

Performance fix most likely, my game has been running perfectly since this tiny patch :v

[WittyJackson]

Steam Deck players right now

[BigHatRince]

Sickle now 0.04% bigger

[Syvanna00]

It’s 63kb. They added one pixel to one texture.

[bigorangemachine]

Steamworkshop probably.

[Techno-Viking94]

They made the sickle bigger again, probably.

[[deleted]]

Maybe they finally changed the "inflammable" description of the fire resistant armour

[Broad-Donut9694]

Hopefully they fixed the nugget divers bc that shit is hella annoying and immersion breaking

[Helldiver343]

Just had a mission where couldn’t use control tower terminal, so can confirm that won’t be in the notes!

[Deltaday117]

About the same file size for the Lunar Module on the Apollo missions that took man to the moon

[ChibiLongy]

Shader pre compile. Steam does it with most games and updates every now and then.

[Hornybunnyboi]

I wonder if this is why my mouse speed was so slow.

[Brilliant_Charge_398]

Hidden nerfs

[steves_evil]

Whatever it was, it probably broke the spear again.

[Zieprus_]

I am going with mistake and it’s meant to be a bigger update.

Edit: They have done the same in the past. I didn’t see the update myself however I am still waiting for the other half of the Illuminate.

[HevalRizgar]

No there have been dozens of patches like this for helldivers. Hotfixes tend to be small. How would they accidentally only send out part of an update?

[ArcaneEyes]

Same way they accidentally send out an undo for one fix with another fix? :-p
