Arrowhead Game Studios has just released the first PC patch for Helldivers 2. According to the team, this update aims to improve matchmaking and reduce the crashes that PC gamers have been experiencing.
Arrowhead has not shared any changelog for this first PC update. So, we can assume that this patch solely focuses on improving matchmaking and reducing crashes.
The team has also stated that it’s continuing to add fixes and improvements in the pipeline for the most serious issues that affect core gameplay. However, there is no ETA on when the next update will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
The developers have also acknowledged the performance issues that all owners of the AMD Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs are facing. From the looks of it, the game underperforms on these particular GPUs. Arrowhead is currently looking into it. Again, though, there is no ETA on when we’ll get a patch to fix these issues.
Helldivers 2 is currently the biggest Playstation launch on Steam. The game has managed to hit a peak of 81K concurrent players, surpassing both Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and God of War.
Helldivers 2 is a squad-based third-person shooter. In this game, players will enlist in the Helldivers and join the fight for freedom across a hostile galaxy.
The game is powered by a custom game engine, the Bitsquid Engine. Additionally, it is using the nProtect GameGuard protection system.
Stay tuned for more!

A compatibility patch for Steam Deck would be nice, but i don’t think so with that anticheat.
Someone was able to get it to work in desktop mode. They left instructions on the steamdeck subreddit.
As already said by @Lil Wang, Helldivers 2 indeed can be made to run on the Steam Deck:

However, it’s unclear if a future update could break compatability, because the anti-cheat works at the kernel-level on Windows, which it can’t do on Linux.
Anyhow, to further boost the performance of your SteamDeck you can also look into these SteamOS tweaks written on a Medium article, which can be applied via copy & paste:

Otherwise, I hope your satisfied with your Steam Deck!
Looks like Valve released a hotfix for Proton to make it compatible, as you said, is hard to know if a future update could break it but at least it’s better than an old version of Proton GE.
Yeah dood, I really like it, it’s a neat piece of hardware. After you learn how prefixes work, you can manually mod any game, even use protontricks to launch save editors or mod managers. And saved my *ss with a dock when one of the memory modules of my 3080 decided to die.
The lack of drivers for my sound card is the only thing that stops me from making a partition for linux on my desktop, I could swap the AE-9 for my old SBZ or use the Focusrite 2i2 3ºGen I use for my guitar, but I don’t like the headphone DAC it has and going back to the SBZ is a bummer.
This game is sh*te
