Arrowhead and Nixxes have dropped Helldivers 2 hotfix 6.2.6, a quick follow-up to patch 6.2.5 Machinery of Oppression, which introduced upscaler support but brought a fresh set of problems with it.
The headline fix is improved image quality across NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS upscaling. The hotfix also resolves crashes tied specifically to Intel XeSS. Dynamic Resolution Scaling is now off by default — Arrowhead says DRS was causing graphical issues on certain GPUs, and while a proper fix is still in the works, they've disabled it in the meantime. Players who want DRS can still switch it on manually.
Arrowhead and Nixxes say they're continuing to track feedback on upscaling quality and performance, so more optimizations are coming. Rock Paper Shotgun noted that patch 6.2.5's big performance push wasn't working brilliantly for everyone, which explains the rapid turnaround on this hotfix.
