Helldivers 2

Got it this afternoon. Spent the first 30 minutes crashing every 5 minutes but once i found out there was a 7800xt driver hotfix it's run more than fine.

Definitely a shallow console game so far but also really good fun in a shallow console game kind of way.

Been playing with 2 friends and had a right laugh.

Not sure it will be worth the £25 in terms of longevity but it's fun while it lasts.
 
I've had one crash in about 4 hours of playing this. I happened at exactly the same time as @humbug which was extremely odd as we were in the same game. Not 100% sure that one was caused by a driver issue, but rather anti-cheat or networking issue. Our crash was syncronised so very unlikely to be local to us.

Yes, littrally a few seconds after you went i went in exactly the same way....
 
Having a lot of fun with this game on the harder difficulties with a group of mates. Been forced to coordinate effectively adds a lot to it over the lower difficulties.
 
They had to cap the player limit to 450,000 last night. Now if that is including PS, then they better work faster. To increase this, I spent most of last night not going in-game. Game crashes either with older drivers or the new Helldivers 2 driver's.
 
Spent longer trying to get a game, crashing out (once) then being unable to play again. Very frustrating.

I'm still not convinced the crashing is driver related, personally I think it's anti-cheat, DRM or server connectivity (e.g. heartbeat) that's causing the client to freak out. It's just looking like a driver issue. There's too many instances of people having simultaneous crashes for it to be entirely driver based all the time.

Known problem, reddit is full of people saying it's a bit of a mess.

All of the issues sounds like overloaded backend DB servers tbh

I think last night you had the game mode of Chanenging, @pete910 spoted it was on that mode after you left, apparently its really easy to togle the game mode and not notice, that's why we coudnt do it, Worzel put it on an easier game mode and we didn't get our areses handed to us with in 30 seconds.

Currently we split off the your own ships. One starts off a mission and using the Social (friends) you can hit the 'Join squad' option. This seems to be the best way to join a friend albeit not perfect workaround.
 
OK so earlier today I managed to have multiple matches after disabling bloom,screen space global illumionation and anti aliasing. I suspect the last was the one which did it for me though.

Could be random luck but I'd had 3 disconnects in 30mins prior to that!
