Hell Let Loose has received an update that introduces quality-of-life improvements. Dubbed as QOL2, this update not only improves map rotation on all servers but also reduces loading times and in-game stuttering, among many others.
Map rotation has been randomized across the board. This means that you will get a different map no matter what server you’re on.
The game may feel a lot smoother as well, thanks to the optimizations added. You can expect better loading and matchmaking times and decreased stuttering.
Although lag cannot be eliminated in online games, the things implemented in this patch may result in better ping times and stable networks through packet loss consideration and improved region selection.
As for the user experience, an option has been added that allows you to adjust the volume of each voice channel individually. On top of that, you can now change the sensitivity of your scoped weapon.
