Hi again everyone,

Today's update is pretty massive with several new updates, large performance improvements, and a handful of new mods.

The first new thing I'll start with is Bingus Shared Loader (BSL) has been upgraded to v20. This update addresses a leak with LuaJIT that was potentially the cause for a lot of performance issues for all Lua mods. BSL has also been updated to guarantee any mods using it stop trying to run on builds it doesn't recognize. This helps keep your account secured and protects you from game crashes in the event of an update (particularly in the event of anti-cheat updates).

The first of many updates is Match Your Colors 1.5. This one, again, substantially overhauls the coloring algorithm while adding in a handful of new features, including better material matching, weapon matching (experimental), squad color matching, and cape removal. This also fixes certain mods like the Cowboy Hat mod by listening for modded gear which directly paints the color onto the texture map, and is now able to match those too.

Next is a new mod: Holster Your Shield. By simply hitting the backpack key, you're now able to place your shield directly on your back.

Another new mod is Stratagem Hero Expanded. This mod adds in all of the stratagems the game has seen since launch, properly categorized and with their correct icons, into Stratagem Hero.

There's more! The next new mod is Pass-through Foliage. If you've been playing this for a while you've probably had the issue with tree branches blocking stratagems, rockets, etc. This mod adjusts the way collision detection works on foliage so that branches / twigs no longer block them.

The fourth new mod is Sound Systems Rebalanced which is aimed at fixing a lot of audio issues with the game. Currently, it rebalances mission music to paly at war-table volume levels in every mission (no longer at +6db joining in progress), and also fixes a bug where mission music would randomly go silent on several different biomes.

And last but not least, every mod has received a massive performance update as mentioned before. Thanks to some additional research on the Shared Loader, I've been able to cut mod impact down in some cases by a full order of magnitude. Overall the per-frame impact of these mods dropped roughly 2-3x.

There's also a very large amount of bugs that were fixed in this release that are available to read on the GitHub page if you're interested.

That's all for today! I'll be keeping an eye out on the Warbond release and hopefully be able to have an update out shortly after to get the mods back up and running.

Vanilla Plus Megapack v42 is now available over on Nexus: https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/16294

You can also get the updated Bingus Shared Loader v20 there too: https://www.nexusmods.com/helldivers2/mods/16292

Enjoy!

The new vanilla pack update let's you match your weapons with armor/helmet/capes

I used armor matches helmet option for the weapons in img 1 and the modded helmets I used in img 2. Let's you change collab weapons colors and modded weapon mesh to a degree too(ultimatum in img 1 for ex)

all i gotta say is that for all the talk of "[Gun] is fine, i use it ALL the time" & "[Strategem] would be SUPER HYPER ULTRA OP if [Thing] was changed about it!" i don't see them IN game all that much, let alone on diff 10, quite strange ain't it?

posting here because main sub removed it, also no its not related to my previous post

In regards to the recent "stratagem" MO reward fiasco

I know I’ve been spamming, and I swear this will be my last post about skins. I just wanted to ask you guys: which one turned out better?

I really feel working amongst professionals without the unnecessary teamkilling jokes.

AH is releasing a warbond with only 1 armor type with adaptive camouflage. A modder decided to give all legacy armors the option to have adaptive camouflage.

Clearly AH could have done this, but they would prefer not to and did the pettiest thing possible. By dangling a paid warbond to taunt you about it.

I've put 25 hours into this game now, and holy fucking shit, the grind is ridiculous.

I just want the Experimental Infusion booster, because it very nicely compliments the breaching hammer.

Thing is, to get my hands on it, I'd have to first grind out a thousand liberty fun bucks, then grind through three pages of a warbond with shit I don't want, then I finally have the privilege to grind for the booster I want.

This is stupid, and actively making me want to play the game less.

I initially made the mistake of posting this in the main sub where I was immediately told to shut up and enjoy mindlessly grinding for stuff I don't even want.

Does anyone know how I can get this weapon in game what war bond is it a part of?

i giggled a lil reading it

"You've lived a little too long, little man..."

The tides of effort turn, they ebb and flow only towards passion.

PLEEEaaaSEeeeEe!!!!

I beseech thee oh PC players, that you may grace me with your colorful display.
