Helldivers 2

Crashing patched yet?

Dying of laughter on our discord.
Last 3 missions

1 died on extraction pad, lost every single sample... Was actually hilarious.

2nd ctd on perfect run

3rd ctd on perfect run

Rage quit laughing....

Great game though...

I'm rarely if ever crashing on the first mission after starting the game, it seems to be the second mission onwards if I don't restart the game after every single mission...

Also many of the issues I've complained about seem to be happening 90% less on the first mission - it is like the client slowly falls apart over the second mission and eventually crashed at extraction with a memory access violation/exception usually second mission sometimes third.
 
I've played just over 6 hours, not a single crash.

Do we get a reward for that major order? I haven't received anything

You sure your overclock is entirely stable?

Pretty sure, the crashes are almost certainly not hardware and widespread with most people getting them, especially on harder difficulties.

I've played it on 2 different systems with same results, my gaming system isn't really overclocked anyway RAM is at stock and CPU only has a slight boost optimisation. I've had 2 different GPUs in it since first playing Helldivers 2.

weird, I'm complete opposite had 2 different PCs since helldivers was released and think I've had 1 crash in over 100 hours.. Haven't played with my PS5 friend in over a week either so don't know if that's been fixed yet or not, he isn't playing till new race comes out which should hopefully be on the 11th April

I didn't have too much trouble until the latest patch, it is almost always the same extraction crash on the 2nd mission, occasionally get to the 3rd and get crash at extraction on that instead.
 
I could count the amount of crashes I’ve had on one hand and three fingers with my entirely stock pc.


Yes, crashes absolutely exist in this game. With some of the frequency people like Rroff are having them, I’d suggest putting your system to stock and seeing what stability looks like. But I can already predict the result (and subsequent 15 posts).

Loads of people, including this thread, Steam discussions and other gaming forums getting exact same crashes so unlikely to be hardware, I've already tested at stock and on my old system and my gaming PC passes stability tests and hours on other games fine.

The crash dumps reference memory access violations trying to access memory that no longer belongs to the thread/process so likely a game issue. (Probably a pointer which has gone out of scope due to an unexpected condition or laziness). While it is possible for that to be due to unstable memory I've seen no other symptoms of that and loads of other people getting the same crash tends to suggest against hardware.

EDIT: Also the issue has been picked up by the developer:

'Hang in there': A fix for all those Helldivers 2 freeze-ups should ideally land 'well before the Warbond', says community manager

It is possible it is related to:

Though from what I've seen that is mostly the 14900 and maybe some 13900s affected and people complaining of the more common types of crashes with the game seem to be running a wide range of hardware.

If I get around to it I'll try it on my 10870H/3070 laptop though just to further narrow down whether there is any hardware component to it but I'm not finding that likely so far.

EDIT: Not to mention the developer seems to confirm that that common most frequent crashes like just as the extraction shuttle takes off are game related.

I'm guessing a lot of players are reluctantly moved over from bots - had some frustrating games tonight especially on helldiver difficulty where people really aren't in key with the game and I end up just quitting out mid mission - especially noticeable some players trying to play it tactically like against bots rather than herding and kiting off the swarms.
 
Played a few games this morning and had the following issues.

- Shuttle stuck in the ground so could not board
- Crashed to desktop when getting the rewards etc

Never had any of these until this morning so god knows whats going on
 
I find there is some inaccuracy when your character dies it sometimes attests it to another player, enemy or environment. After the mission it would be handy to see some of this info instead of just the accidentals/deaths tally.

Sometimes you get a random player bullet, etc. finish you off even though you look like you died to a bug hit, etc. sometimes explosions generated by a player some distance off can propel stuff into you killing you and attributed randomly to that player or environment impact, etc.

Which is why it should be able to tell you what contributed to the death. I have had it where it said I killed myself when it was blatantly a fellow divers eagle for example.

I’ve been hearing a lot about this game. Is it okay to play solo? I don’t know anybody who plays and my gaming time is at a premium these days since having kids.

You've literally asked the same question I came here to ask :) I've seen a lot about this game and it looks cool. Just wasn't sure if it's a game for casual gamers - or gamers where game time is at a simlar premium!
