Since the nerf I had a couple of missions where it would have been fine on suicide but was awful. So dropping down to Hard seemed to help but as you mention then the samples are rubbish overall. By nerfing the previous meta and upping the npc/ai strength it was a tad too much but I hear they were pushing out a quick patch to adjust it again just not been on today.
1 in 3 missions now I'm getting issues with selecting stratagems when readying up, if they don't fix this quick it is going to kill the game for me.
EDIT: Also games with randoms seems to increasingly involve time wasters and griefers, never ceases to amaze me how pitiful some people's lives must be that is their only outlet.

Weird how the bugs are affecting people differently, I played a few games till about 3 this morning and never had a stratagem issue at all. But a few of the randoms across different games I played with were complaining about the same issue you’re having.
Doesn’t need upgraded as badly as my poor vega64 - it’s struggling hard!
Is the stratagem issue happening if you select the wrong one and try and swap it? Must say I never think too hard about stratagem choice, if I pick something wrong then I just roll with it, as even swapping the order of them has always been a bit finnicky.
What problem are you having? There's a mutator on some maps that randomly changes what statagem you call in
It’s not the mutator - there’s a bug where you can’t see what strats you’re selecting/what you pick isn’t what’s is in the slot. I spawned in once with the guard dog strat even though not only had I not purchased it but I was only level 6 at the time.
Is there a penalty for not extracting - have a had couple games now where 1 player has wiped the other 3 of us out and extracted alone but samples and stuff still get split so I’m not sure the reason? Just randoms being randoms??
You get something like 20XP per person for extracting, you'll also get a percentage bonus for all extracting and getting more stars.
However if 1 or all of you fail to extract you still get all the basic objective XP, the biggest thing is generally losing any samples those being left behind had but if you hadn't gathered many it's not worth getting worked up about.
Generally best to hammer the objectives, then use some time getting samples etc afterwards and allowing strategem cool downs to reset for the extraction fight.

When at the ready up screen and selecting equipment and stratagems, the first one you choose enters a totally random one in the slot, can't change it, then totally random if the other slots work or not and whether it puts in the one you selected - often will only fill 2 slots and prevent you readying up.
Once it starts happening all you can do is restart the whole game, even leaving that group and joining another does the same.
I haven't crashed since forcing DX11.
Go here and delete the any files in the folder as it'll be DX12 shader
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Arrowhead\Helldivers2\shader_cache\
Steam launch options:
--use-d3d11
I have everything on ultra, antilaliasing, global screen space illumation etc. So far, no crashes (in about 2 hours of playing)

Cheers, I will give this a try
I played the game with everything on the lowest setting except textures and it looked and ran fine, so even if you have to drop to those (which I doubt) you'll have a smooth run.
Clips on youtube show it running pretty well on a 1080ti at medium settings (which doesn't look that different to high/ultra tbh)
