Helldivers 2 loadout keeps resetting: Is there any fix yet?
While Arrowhead Game Studios has yet to provide an official fix, some players have found temporary solutions. Keep in mind that these workarounds are potential fixes and may not work for everyone. Still, they are worth a shot.
Restart the Game
Simply closing the game and relaunching it may sometimes resolve the loadout resetting issue temporarily. This workaround involves exiting the game entirely and then reopening it to see if the loadout settings persist upon relaunch.
Restart the System
Restarting your gaming system, whether it’s a PC or console (power-cycle), can sometimes help resolve technical glitches like the loadout resetting problem in Helldivers 2. This involves completely shutting down the system and then turning it back on to see if the loadout resets again.
Check File Integrity (Steam Users)
For Steam users, checking the integrity of game files can help ensure that all game files are intact and not corrupted, which could potentially cause issues like loadout resets. Follow these steps:
- Open the Steam client and navigate to your Library.
- Right-click on “Helldivers 2” in your game library and select “Properties”.
- Go to the “Installed Files” tab and click on “Verify Integrity of Game Files”. Steam will then check for any missing or corrupted files and redownload them if necessary.
Reinstall the Game and Contact Support
If other methods fail to resolve the issue, reinstalling the game may be necessary. Uninstall the game from your system and then reinstall it. If the problem persists even after reinstalling, contacting the game’s support team for further assistance may be necessary.
Wait for Updates
