Helldivers 2 hotfix 7.2.3 (November 11, 2026) is supposed to fix the crash caused by poison or gas in Hive World caves, fire not working underground, a cave generation bug that could block missions, two PC crashes, and to let some cosmetic mods work again under Easy Anti-Cheat. Has it worked for you?

What Arrowhead says (official notes and blog):
- Fixed: crash from poison or gas status effects in Hive World caves; fire in caves; large assets spawning outside caves and blocking objectives and stratagems.
- PC: fixed crash on exit and crash on boot when the game had Windows write-permission problems.
- Cosmetic mods: reinstall the game if you had mods, verify the files on Steam, launch once, then add cosmetic mods one by one. Gameplay mods remain banned.
- Still known: LAS-44 Nova scope FOV, corrupted reflections on AMD RDNA 2/3 at the lowest Reflection Quality, dying on a closed bug hole.
Questions for players:
- Since 7.2.3, have you had any crash in Hive World caves, or when exiting or launching the game? Which platform (PC or PS5) and which GPU?
- PC modders: did Arrowhead’s reinstall + verify files method work? Which cosmetic mods work again, and which still don’t?
- Are you still playing on a virtual machine, and did your support ticket get an answer?
- Is a new bug blocking your missions? Describe it (planet, mission type, platform) so others can check if it is the same.
Please do not share gameplay mods or cheats: Arrowhead says accounts using them may be banned.
