Sorry, long-suffering Helldivers 2 spear lovers, after being briefly fixed, it's now causing crashes

Look, make sure you’ve got some tissues ready before you read this. Helldivers 2’s poor spear. Up until the game’s most recent updates, the aiming on it was broken, and a loyal legion who love stabbing stuff spent ages praying and badgering Arrowhead to fix it for them. The developer did. But now the poor spear’s back in the doghouse.

If you’re out of the loop, Arrowhead’s been busy working on a bunch of issues that’ve popped up since the game’s most recent patch, including enemy spawn rates and ship modules that aren’t doing what they say on the tin. The spear, sadly, is the latest addition to that list.

What’s up with it this time? Well, something a bit differennt to the aiming issues that afflicted it before – it’s now been linked to some crashes folks have been getting.
