UPDATE 3.30pm UK: Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has announced that the game's Galactic War has now been unpaused.
"The Galactic War has resumed!" a message posted to THE Helldivers 2 Discord server by Arrowhead this afternoon reads. "We have deployed a fix to our backend which we believe has solved the issue with liberation rates. Players can now make contributions to planet liberation and engage with the Galactic War again!"
ORIGINAL STORY 9.30am UK: There's a temporary truce in Helldivers 2's Galactic War, after a game-breaking bug introduced during maintenance.
The issue sprung up yesterday, after Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead issued an update to the game's backend. The problem saw planet liberation rates skyrocket - which is a good thing... until it isn't.
"While we know this is fun, we also know that it is breaking the Galactic War mechanic itself," Arrowhead wrote in a post on social media. "In short, this is harming the game experience and will have detrimental effects on the war mechanic in the future."
