"Helldivers 2 Devs Roll Back Patch Due to Server Performance Issues"
TL;DR
Arrowhead released a patch for Helldivers 2 to address server capacity and progression issues, but swiftly rolled it back due to "significant degradation in performance" experienced by some players. The fixes for mission rewards are still live, and the team is working on an increased reward event to compensate for lost rewards. The patch's availability is uncertain, and the situation has sparked humorous comparisons to historical and political references.
