The official Helldivers 2 patch notes for the July 4, 2024, update are as follows:

Fixes

• Fixed the "Superior Packing Methodology" ship module upgrade (technically this was fixed on the server side and has been working since July 1).
• Fixed crashes and glitches occurring when dropping into a mission.
• Fixed instances of players becoming stuck in the hellpod loading screen.
• Fixed a crash that occurs after changing settings (this should be fixed for real this time, the last fix didn’t stick the landing and we have sent the responsible engineer to a Super Earth re-education camp).
