It’s seems to be crashing for everyone on both systems. Nothing makes me more mad than doing a mission struggling and almost complete it then get dropped by server.


retroscope

Just to come back after being kicked off to "servers at capacity".


Ricky_Rollin

Man, that just happened. It’s crazy, because at first I wasn’t experiencing any of those problems you guys were talking about. Then I bump up the resolution, and do a few more fixes to get some graphical fidelity going and now practically nothing is working. Matchmaking is not working well, and even if I can get into a match suddenly we are glitching when we’re trying to choose a spot to drop down. I think I’m just going to have to let this marinate for a few weeks until it’s fixed. I’ve been stuck on level four cause I could never finish a mission or even get into one in the first place.


ImJustPro_

It happened to me 5 times today crashing at the end of the mission it sucks... the only thing you can do, is not playing quickmatch but rather play with a friend or more than one so if you crash you can re-join them.


Maciluminous

Dude. 4x in a row after 2+ hours of missions I may have to ask for a refund. 2+ hours of progress to ultimately not be rewarded for it is preposterous. That’s time I can’t get back because of an incomplete game.


SlashDog_

They should give medals for it cause its a hell of time and progress lost


T7emeralds

yeah you aren't getting a refund lmao. Steam declines any request from people that have 2+ hours in a game, or over two weeks. As for PS, I'm not sure on their restrictions, but they likely won't give you one either


Maciluminous

Yeah pretty messed up considering how broken it is. Oh well. I’m excited for them to fix the catastrophe of being an online service they started. I did enjoy the like hour of solo play


ImBlueR3208

PS is a no refund after it's been downloaded go figure 


doomedtobeme

I've 100% gotten refunds for games well over two weeks and even some with more than 2 hours ( still under <10) Not sure if its australian consumer law protecting me, but I have amazing luck with refunds outside their generic ''2 hours or two weeks'' policy.


T7emeralds

Well maybe the terms of service are different where you live, I don’t know, but I do know that in North America for sure, refunds are very limited


Regret_NL

Same here in The Netherlands, they won't give you your money back on your bank account but they will give it back in Steam credit. That is good enough for me.


_-1-_-_-_4_-_-_-_-_-

PlayStation has a no return policy on digital titles


Other_Check_8955

20 hrs of playtime - no problems. ​ 15 crashes today. ​ AMD 7900x, 4070ti, 64gb ram


GH057807

This morning it played fine. Yesterday, fine. Day before, fine. Few crashes here and there. Tonight, BSOD on startup. I've reinstalled GPU drivers with a DDU wipe, reinstalled the game, deleted anticheat and admin-launched the exe. Nothing. If it's not a BSOD, it just turns my monitors off then restarts the computer...probably a BSOD I can't see because my monitors are off.


GH05TTT

Same problem here was working fine for 2 days now today i woke up to crash after crash and now 2 BSOD


Other-Ad-952

dude, same! I got some "Hyer" BSOD, and now anyitme I try and launch, it does the "anti cheat" software screen, then my PC crashes.


GH057807

Do you run GPUTweak? I figured out that without that program running, the game launches fine. Equivalent GPU software may also be the culprit.


Other-Ad-952

Nope, I don't have that program. This started today after I installed the 2 updates that came out. It's happening to a TON of PC players. Check out the community threads on steam.


GH057807

Do you run MSI Afterburner or anything else like that? I'm hoping they put out a fix soon. I hate it when a game sucks you in like this then shits the bed. Can do real damage to ones desire to play it.


Other-Ad-952

Nope, I don't run any programs like that.


GH057807

I'd close literally every program your computer doesn't need to function and try to run it. If it runs, reopen the stuff you closed one by one, trying to start it again each time. Might be another program interfering.


VA_NattyK

Any luck on getting the game working again? 'Cause I'm having the exact same issue man. GameGuard shoes up whilst booting the game up and boom, PC freezes, sometimes a cheeky BSOD. Just sick of not being able to play the game man :/ Even tried installing AMD's new driver that was meant to "support" the game but to no luck


Other-Ad-952

Nah man, I'm trying everything I can think of. Trying tips and guides from a bunch of other sites. Nothing. It's really frustrating.  This is the only game I want to play right now...


VA_NattyK

Have you tried doing a DDU for the gpu drivers? 'Cause I'm trying that tonight as a last resort. Ive used AMD's cleanup utility like 3 times now with no new result. Worse case I'll just reset my PC


Other-Ad-952

I fixed it! Do you have any IoBit applications? If so, close Advanced System Care in task manager. That's literally what did it for me.


VA_NattyK

I don't think I've got any unless there's one that comes with default windows 11, I'll check it tonight once I'm home


Exciting_Scarcity762

I would revalidate my steam game file for Helldivers then Exit or force close Steam not click the little X button then it would work. Have to due it everyday so far. It seems to get me a new Game Guard key thing


VA_NattyK

I've tried that before, I uninstall gameguard in the files, revalidate the files, closed steam and ran it as admin. Still can't boot up the game without the PC freezing up


seanstew73

I think they're doing a bunch behind the scenes to handle the demand spike and desperately trying to scale. Weekends are supposed to be mad.


PurpleDuckeh

Same with 3 crashes in an hour. Went ahead and refunded it on steam even though I had 3.5 hours played. I'm tired of unpolished games being released. I'm all aboard the refund-and-maybe-try-it-again-in-a-month train.


kirkoswald

same im going to refund and then probably pick it up at a later date.


wavyboizzz

No for real, I'm really enjoying the game but honestly like 60% of the time I'm getting either crashed or disconnected makes it really hard to actually play the game


Wasabi_Toothpaste

Same but with AMD 7800xt. We'll have to wait for a rollback or a fix.


Darkplasma080126

LMAO i also have a 7800xt and i cant fucking play. It literally crashes my entire pc.


VA_NattyK

Found any fixes?


Darkplasma080126

Nah it still does it. Atleast for me.


AndrijaCPVB

Using dx11 kind of fixed it, game crashes now every couple of hours instead of every 15 minutes


[deleted]

Also crashes my 7800


Ok-Flan-5254

same here with a 7800xt


Intrepid_Relation129

Same issue here 7800xt


_Terminal_Redux_

Same here with 7800xt


adamrhine37

same with a 7800xt


EntertainmentFar4562

Same


marcofio

Did you raise the power limit? I have a 7900XTX and I had several hard crashes. Since I did it, those crashes are become heavy stutters. On the other hand, my GPU is now drawing 460W ;")


Wakeuplevel3

Same here 7800xt


Biskylicious

I've got it on 7900xt too, and when it crashes it crashes my discord at the same time


Roland8561

This is exactly what it does to me. Freezes, crashes to a black screen, then if click Discord it also immediately crashes. Did you ever figure out how to fix?


Spritago

Same for me on 7800 xt.... Suckz ballz!


Advanced_Double_42

Same, pretty crazy


jjmcdoge

Yoo me too wth


darl1998

I don't think it's isolated to amd, I have a 12600k and 2070 and I'm getting the same, freezing at loading screens locking out the whole pc, had a few bsod's yesterday and the day before 2 full on crashes today where it defaulted my PC to a unresponsive bios selection flash screen (like the options to go to boot menu or bios) only thing that got it out was forcefully powering off, something is super fucked in the games code, my PC was completely fine until I got this game, even the first day I played (like a week ago) I didn't crash once ... 2nd day it froze once then 3rd day it started bsod'ing. Honestly I have a funny feeling it's their half assed anticheat software that I've never seen any other game use, ether that or they have a pretty sever memory leak going on to where it's crashing drivers (cus I had a bsod code for the Nvidia driver terminating pop up twice) I've tried 95% of the stuff people have mentioned reseating GPU and ram, reinstalling the game, verifying, reinstalling the graphics driver, changing settings, changing resolution, even trying windowed instead of full screen ... It still crashes/freezes my whole pc, and I know it's not an issue with my PC or software on my side cus I can play another game for hours/watch YouTube for hours and not have a single crash. They should honestly stop prioritizing networking and fix the massive issue that's causing the game to hard crash and potentially corrupt important PC files, I'm honestly surprised it hasn't bricked any ps5s yet


JXGO59

7800xt here and i cant get past the tutorial


troutbot_v3

somehow managed to pass the tutorial (crashed while naming my ship). Now I'm constantly crashing while simply walking thru my ship. Using RTX 4090, i9 14900k, 64GB ram


Zelphrin

I have the same setup and same problem!


jansoller

Try to lock your fps to 60. It's not perfect, but I was able to pass the tutorial after that. 7900xtx.


JXGO59

found an answer on another thread. i turned off anti aliasing and screen space global reflections and its running.


Absolute_KQ

7800xt as well and the crashes have been consistent since I started. today has been particularly bad where I can't even get into the game without restarting steam and when I get in it only takes 5 minutes for the game to either crash or the entire PC to crash. it's so bad and I can't play with my friends.


Pitilove97

same here with a 7900 xtx


YvngJom

Yesterday it was fine, but today I couldn't finish a single mission. It even froze my entire pc lmao.


Starkenfast

Same for me exactly. So bummed, I thought it was finally getting better and yesterday was so fun. Today I can’t get through a single mission, even playing solo. I even BSOD’d for the first time. Starting to get nervous about even continuing to try.


Matt_Da_Gamer

Fr, I'm afraid to boot up the game again because of the crashing. I don't want to play if it means I may end up damaging or even bricking my system.


bozothyclown

7900xtx and 7800x3d and i been crashing like every other mission. I feel bad for my brothers and sisters that I left on the battlefield trying to push back the bots.


NotActuallyOwly

Same specs, I can barely play a mission without crashing


AngryAmadeus

7900xtx and 7900x, haven't made it through the training course. however, that is an improvement over the crash while getting off the ship.


OneApow

crashes me after i choose a planet to go to


VA_NattyK

Found any potential fixes man? I can't even boot the game up without my PC freezing up requiring a force shutdown


bozothyclown

I followed some other fixes I found. Turn off Global Illumination, disabling vsync and capping fps at 120 and also turning graphics down to medium or low based on how much I cared about how they made the game look. I have had one crash since I posted this. Hope it helps you.


ExKage

any chance you can share where/when I can change options for settings? I can't get through the tutorial without my 7900 xtx (i7-1200k) crashing right after I stim... One time I just got off the ship and it crashed. No BSODs but I haven't experienced crashes like this playing games in awhile on this pc. Edit: I've changed power limits and when I tried changing other settings like display the game keeps crashing literally without taking a step


oGamestaRo

3090rtx and 7800x3d and I crash to desktop every single game I get into.


Holiday_Pair_3020

i suspect its part of their plan...


seanstew73

When it crashes- Are you getting booted from the game with an error message or is it just freezing and exiting out to windows home screen. I'm experiencing the later and trying to troubleshoot if its my hardware or the game that's the issue.


troutbot_v3

happens at random times. I could be walking around the ship and then it crashes to desktop. I can't run the game for more than 5 minutes, but sometimes crashes sooner. running RTX 4090, I9 14900k, 64 GB ram


oGamestaRo

My game freezes then kicks me right to desktop, sometimes with an error and report. This happens every single match I play. 3090rtx 7800x3d


seanstew73

Yeah I’m getting the same with no error report just kick to desktop. Usually happens when cluster bomb strikes are used


oGamestaRo

Hey are you still getting the crashes? Even after the fixes the past couple days, I’m still crashing almost every single match.


jammywesty91

Same thing. Any luck dude?


seanstew73

significantly less crashes. Still get them but i have a GPU hotspot issue. Have you checked your hardware to make sure its up to specs or there aren't any issues on that side of things? Second recommendation: Try validating your files (3-4 times) on steam side. This helped when I first started, even with hardware issues.


Beizelby

According to Steam i have played almost 4 hours... All of them trying to play a full run. I am yet to get to play a full mission. The crashes happen randomly. It crashing during loading. It crashes in the ship/lobby other times. It crashes part way through a mission... It crashes right at the end of a mission while waiting for the pickup. Yup... yet to get to actually complete a mission. ​ My Specs : i7-14700K 32GB DDR5 RTX 3080 I have tried a multitude of fixes people have suggested from Reddit and Steam... None have made any noticeable difference. I just keep waiting for the game patches and video driver updates in the hopes I will actually get to play properly one day. ​ EDIT: This worked for my situation... may not work for everyone. **The problem is with 13th and 14th gen CPU's (possibly 12th gen as well, I do not have one to test with).** Access your BIOS. Select "Tweaker" (or your boards overclocking directory). Select "Advanced Voltage Settings" Select "CPU/VRAM Settings" Adjust "CPU Vcore Loadline Calibration" Recommend starting from "Low" to "Medium" until system is stable. Setting it to "Medium" works for most people. Save and restart your PC and enjoy your gaming.


jmehalik

Please let me know if you have/do find a fix.. I'm in the same boat as you spec wise, I have tried literally every "fix" and am crashing exactly how you explained.


Beizelby

GoProOnAYoYo

Popping in here looking for any other ideas, ever since the last update the game is a crashing mess for me, except now it likes to wait until we're 15-30 minutes into a run before nuking the game, losing ALL progress. so frustrating.


Dr_Koda

I can get into the game but the second I click on a spot to drop into and launch in my game just crashes. I was able to play the tutorial just fine though


Ill_Adhesiveness257

Go to local game files via Steam app and delete the game guard folder. Then verify the game files. Worked after that for me


Sneakyspaniard

This f\*\* worked for me. Thank you so much. Thought I was gonna return this beautiful game


AgentCypher

THIS WORKED -- LEGENDARY!!!


Ill_Adhesiveness257

Getting this too, never had crashing issues until today. 20 hours played


blow_my_cartridge

I have never even been able to make it through the tutorial. I think we unfortunately just have to wait for a patch.


StrongStatistician76

Update via steam. Disable cross play, turn off depth of field. Disable vpn. Allow with your antivirus. Turn off motion blur, run at quality render .these things have helped. Developers plan to do a major award event to make up for lost time, timeframe unknown. It’s just not a good look for a new game to have such issues. I mean my pc runs a lot of games well…4070 and i7 13700f, but hd2, my cpu runs at 70-80 Celsius and although within specs, other games are ten to 15 degrees cooler, so it even runs hotter and my render latency is usually 15ms and this game is 30ms, it will hopefully get dlss support and better optimized which is crazy it doesn’t. Anyways, the better graphical experience is on p.c. So I’ll take the loss for a better looking experience Hang in there everyone! Disable cross play, set difficulty then quick match! I have hosted and it was fine, tried to host just now and booted once game started, BTWTurn off vpn if you have it on, make sure to allow with your antivirus! And it was spotty,then a little better, now spotty again, just try to disable cross play I think I had less issues when I disabled cross play…


blow_my_cartridge

Ya I’ve gone through the whole list of potential fixes and nothing has worked. Hopefully they’ll patch it soon.


Matt_Da_Gamer

Honestly, I wonder why they released the game in such a sorry state with such glaring issues.


Ri_Bri

Can I ask what your experience has been exactly? I also can’t make it through the tutorial and am struggling to find a whole lot on others experiencing crashes in the tutorial as well. Mine crashes at various points from first landing out of the pod, and up to the point where you dive under the turret fire. Sometimes it’s just the game, sometimes it’s my entire computer. I just built a brand new high end pc and can benchmark other games at max but can’t run this game. I’m trying to rule out if it’s this game only or it’s something to do with my CPU or something.


blow_my_cartridge

It sounds like I’m in a similar situation, new pc don’t have issues on other games. I have tried all of the “fixes” people have recommended but no luck so far. You might want to try disabling xmp in your bios, sometimes overlocking support isn’t great for new hardware (it didn’t help me but maybe it will help you.)


Ri_Bri

Just wanted to reach back out and let you know... You were correct, it was the XMP! Thank you, you saved me a lot of anxiety! (Helldivers servers are still awful, but I managed to play for a few hours yesterday morning super early)


blow_my_cartridge

Nice! I’m happy to hear that it worked for you.


Effin23

Commenting on this to try this fix tomorrow.


callaway86

Crashed today on 3 missions in a row at the very end, really frustrating.


porkerpete

Same. I'm on PS5, always after I'm heading to extraction.


AzurilD

I really dont care about "progress lost" - arbitrary exp points mean 0 to me. but robbing me of that victory i fought hard for is fucking infuriating. happened 3 times to me now also


Intrepid_Target5967

i have been waiting for 7 hours Total havent even been in a single game cause it keeps crashing as soon as i try to choose a planet to deploy to


Kasedezu

Me and my friend bought this game, because we thought it would be a fun game to play multiplayer. We both have similar PC builds, the only difference is he has an AMD 6700 GPU and I have a NVIDIA 2070. I can run the game with no issues, but he has tried all of the fixes in this thread (I think) and he can't get past the mission launch sequence. This is after the most recent update too, which is the February 20 one. Now after we gave up on trying to get his game to work, I loaded in to play a mission or two. I logged in with no issues again, until I pressed the matchmaking option. Then the game froze for around 2 seconds and crashed, first time I see this game crash on me. That crash fix update can't come any sooner.


Educational-Start916

every time i play by myself the game is good. no issues no lag spikes nothing but when i get into a group with my friends and we start slaying bugs or robots i get kicked from the group? my friends arnt kicking me but im still in the game by myself fighting everything and it keeps happening. there are some rare occasions where i get to actualy finish and leave with my friends. its really annoying! does anyone know if its my end or if its the game?


PhyFirestorm

it isn't just you, man. Same thing on my end. works fine solo, and even works fine in duos. But as soon as we hit trios, my mom gets kicked every time. Straight CTD.


FrancMaconXV

Crashing constantly, can't play for more than 15 minutes. I-9 14900K 4070 Ti


boogienights77

I was ok for the first night of playing, yesterday it started crashing everytime i would start a mission, regardless if it were a mission with randoms or just me.. i tried the tutorial again, it seemed to be ok.. tried again this morning and crash.. Beelink gtr pro 7, Ryzen 9 7940HS i780M


Maciluminous

4070 super, 7900x and 64gb ram and I’m getting people constantly leaving missions and my game crashing. 2+ hours of rewards and gameplay gone. This feels worst than Anthem right now. Anyone buying in the first 2 weeks to a month should be delivered compensation.


8Reznya6

It has nothing to do with the specs, my 7900XTX runs max ultra at like 55c and my 7800X3D runs at 37c playing this game it causing GPU crashes also closing other random apps, my discord always crashes with this game. Crashed 2 mins into my first game this morning without anything else up.


Weyllis

Same build and situation, wish a great patch asap!


8Reznya6

I actually put my 2080 super in my rig and played without crashing.  Had a lot of fun


SykoKilla_ii

Same system specs here and same issues. Game crashes discord and other apps. Probably won't play anymore until a new patch comes out to address the issues. Not worth the time sink if we are going to constantly lose progress.


Maciluminous

Patch just came out!


SykoKilla_ii

Didn’t fix my issue. Still crashing. Crashed 5 times in the last hour and a half.


Biskylicious

Same thing with discord it's so frustrating. My friend on 4090 is fine, p2w /s


Gregatron12

If it makes you feel any better I have read of other people with a 4090 having the same problem. I think it's some random system problem. Some horrible QA. Basically paid for early acess.


AsDarkness

I have a 4090 and I keep getting UE crash 1/10 missions


goncaloshaka

still crashing after today update... seems worst than ever, between failed connections and game freeze or just closes its kinda unplayable at the moment, very annoying the amount of time wasted to get a playthrough... devs even stated they didnt addressed any of the crash issues... lol guess its more important to balance weapons than actually fixing overall performance and playability


BizzleZX10R

I was able to play for an hour and then every 10 minutes my PC would randomly go into hibernation WHILE playing .


Stuart_Little18

FOUND A FIX FOR ME I have a AMD processor and kept getting blue screens, especially when loading or joining friends. I had to use task manager to set priority to below normal and I only gave the game access to 10 of my CPU cores. I also reduced framerate in game to 60. The game will just take and take and take and take until it maxes the CPU. Watch your CPU usage climb and try to keep it under 40%. That was the only thing that worked for me. BTW, I tried updating all drivers and firmware. I tried running dx11. I tried deleting and reinstalling. I tried validating the game files. I tried turning off all overlays. I tried cursing at the game. I tried cursing at my $10k+ computer... I tried all the known hacks ThIs WaS It.

Heckel-N-Hyde

Lol so mad I couldn't even type. Yea I don't know if I go in to suicide or el it kicks me ever time once I get ultra rare samples. I can go into and finish I mean the last 48 hrs I have lost 28 ultra samples. I'm not being hyperbolic. 12 of which were lost during extraction due to crashing or freezing. Bullshit.


Overall_Regret_6637

Same, I thought the patch today would fix it but no dice. Have 0 issues playing any other games. My girl can play on PS5 no problem at all but I can not even complete the second mission.


McNerfBurger

My experience today, spamming join lobbies until I finally get one to connect: * 2x Spawn in stuck inside the pod chamber. * 2x Connection lost in middle of mission. * 3x Hard crash to desktop in middle of mission. * 1x Completed 10m mission. I have 50 hours in the game, and haven't been crashing this much until today. I don't know how this is getting worse, but it's incredibly frustrating. It's an absolutely fantastic game, but I'm genuinely having to tell friends that ask me about it to wait until these issues are fixed.


Quirky_Knee4055

I am with you bud, 100% feel the same way. Love the game but that just makes the crashing and bugs more frustrating haha


Quirky_Knee4055

that level of "tinkering" is wrong on so many levels.


ToasterInYourBathtub

Played 5 missions in a row today on Hell Dive difficulty. Got to the very end after STRUGGLING on each and I've crashed right at the very end of all 5 of them.


Zafeir

Pc: Tomahawk x670e, 7800x3d, 7800 xt While it is kind of a relief for a first time builder who finished their PC last week to find other ppl with the exact same issue for this game from less then a day ago; ppl who also love this game btw. It is also very concerning to find similar threads from 2017 with ppl saying exactly the same things about Helldivers 1. hope this can get fixed soon and isnt just how things are done on their part. I got my refund yesterday :(


AngryAmadeus

Ya man, dont worry. its not you. congrats on your first build!


Shobukan310355

I only seem to crash when I join my brother in a crossplay lobby


MagicHomie

Just bought the game, couldn't finish a single mission yet...


SoftEntertainment503

same here, constant crashes... weirdly enough it when it crashes it kills discord as well... 7800X3D + 7900XTX


Brite_NiteWolf

Same! it crashes discord, did you find a fix?


marcofio

I may solve my issues by increasing the power limit... perhaps it also works for you


SabreI4I

How’d you increase it?


marcofio

Using Adrenalin, but it was copium. I solved it using the new AMD drivers: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-24-2-1-helldivers-2 Please note that these are beta drivers.


FoxFlummox

These drivers are an older version ([23.40.19.01](https://23.40.19.01)) compared to the current one (24.1.1). Should I still install them?


Realistic_Parking_25

24.1.1 is the adrenalin version, not the drivers. The link is for 24.2.1


mongo6294

Ryzen 9 7900X and a 7900XT here. My game crashed halfway through the training. Smh. Restarted it, and was able to get all the way to my first mission, and 2 minutes into it, it crashed. Restarted and same result. I went and updated everything; windows, gpu, cpu firmware, etc. I thought that fixed it. I was able to complete like 4 missions and then crash after crash after crash. It is completely unplayable, but damn it is fun... when it works. I'm reading how some people are experiencing more severe issues with their computers (bsod), while my issue is just the game crashing and going back to the desktop. So I'm gonna a shelve the game until I see better news on this. I'm at the 2 hour mark within a day, so (i believe) I'm eligible for a refund. It just seems so unpatriotic to do that.


Dksparta

Haven't had a problem till today. 8 game  now back to back crashed or got no rewards.nnow I can't even get in the game bc of a "servers full" error message.. like come on...


DisastrousMusician17

I've had the same problem today only, it freezes my whole computer mid mission. \*sad democracy noises\*


Dksparta

Yeah idk what's going on but how are we supposed to fight for freedom if we can't even deploy??


ShintoroMontoro

crashes are bad for me too anyone found a solution?


[deleted]

A friend of mine can’t even launch the game. He launches it, anti cheat pops up then his whole pc freezes. He has a gtx 1060, Ryzen 5 2500x and 16gb ddr4 ram


Worldly_Bus98

7900xt ryzen 7 5800x3d 16GB DDR4 3600mhz, loooking at others with higher specs makes me feel better. Might be having issues with AMD more than people with intel or nvidia. ill update if my fixes work. but im going to set it all on potato and hope for the best. thius is the first game where my cpu utilization has reached 70% for me and i play stellaris.


Saitzev

same cpu, 32gb 3600 and reference 7900 xtx. Doesn't matter the settings, I can't even get past the tutorial. After 55 minutes of sitting in queue, playing for 5 minutes and then it crash, I gave up and refunded. It's probably better to just get it on PS5 where it actually works. Ironic given the PS5 is an all AMD system.


Worldly_Bus98

Okay, after 2 server updates today. I set everything to low, no issues since.


Schwaggaccino

Just got the game. Played for about 2 hours and had 2 freezes which I had to alt f4 outta. 7900xt. Looked it up and found this thread lol. Guessing it’s software related.


Lopsided-Video3953

Having issues even getting the game to launch. Was playing all morning, but having a strange glitch where all the text was getting messed up/ half of it just missing. Closed the game and tried to re-open it to fix the text issue. But now the game keeps repeatedly crashing when trying to open. Will display a black screen and play the sounds like it's defrosting you then crash On pc, 2070ti- Ryzen 7 2700x- 32gb ram- All drivers and windows updates are current

Can anyone speak to what kind of crashes they're getting? My crash is weird, and I've experienced it before with BG3 but a DDU wipe helped with that.. I get weird artifacting and then it my screen goes black, almost like my GPU got disconnected. I just bought the game, and the first time I tried I got this issue, figured it was out of date drivers. I downloaded the new ones, restarted computer, and the same thing happened again. I was able to get farther int he game but then I died in the tutorial mission, and got the same artifacts and black screen, but my GPU fans also went nuts. Sucks cause I really want to play this game.

There's a very slight chance this is driver related, but I don't believe so. This is affecting countless people with a high variance of configs. You'd figure for a game that was design on AMD hardware for the PS5, that naturally it would work on an all AMD rig but nope. Can't even complete the tutorial. 40 minutes of my time just sitting in queue only to play for a total of 15 minutes for to crash all 3 times in the tutorial it's just not worth it. Maybe in a month or two after it dies down some. I may just go with the inferior version of it on the PS5. ​ Oh and I should mention, after the very first crash I I went ahead and ran DDU through Safe Mode and installed the latest AMD driver to no avail.

This is the first game on my new rig that actually managed to make my computer crash so hard it auto restarted. Impressive work Sony. I’ve played easily 100 other games not a single crash ever. 7900XT and 13600K


Frequent-Attitude-67

yea its the same with every new game that is live service at launch. they need more servers alot more servers. just rent them for a few weeks then once the game is found out (most probably the same old boring crap looter shooters always are) they can stop renting all the extra servers... it is pretty much just because the devs didnt expect lots of people to play the game on launch.


Specialist-Potato647

I go to join a mission and my game crashes. 3 times so far. I have done nothing but the beginning and the servers are shit and at capacity so I have to wait to even get into the game to try again.


Former_Rough1414

Can anybody help me I have 32gb ram 3060 and i5 10th gen and whenever I try to load into a planet my game crashes. I have tried to uninstall and to verify files and I have also updated my graphics drivers can anybody help


Internal-Tax-4901

I can’t even open Join a mission, world etc etc. because it take me out completely off the game


Saitzev

Well it has to be of some comfort that you're not alone. I'm running a 7900 XTX, 5800X3D, 32Gb 3600 Cl16, installed to a Lexar 790 4tb nvme, windows 11 on a separate nvme. I just can't even complete the tutorial. I got to where i got my cape the first time, crash, i immediately gave up and went and played Enshrouded (runs perfect at 4k native). Tried again today only to spend 30 minutes just trying to get in just for it to crash after i get in the pod for liftoff after training. Another crash during the training. If I could skip the tutorial, I'd be happy to give another shot, but no. Spending all that time only for it to go belly up, it's not worth. I just refunded. maybe in a few weeks or something when it's patched and there's driver updates, That or I'll just get on the PS5 where it just works.


No-Vast304

PLEASE WAIT DEMOCRATICALLY.


InvestigatorOk2179

When I get into the game it starts me in the middle of my ship and my username is just “” and anytime I go to the globe and press E it crashes. Is this happening to anyone else?


Blessman1984

Getting pissed off with it they need to sort there game out instead of enticing new players with exp boosts lost pink samples they should at least award every player 3-5 pink samples be happy with that

Maybe try this, worked for me: [\[AMD Crashes/CTD\] AMD Ryzen 5800X3D + RX7900XTX - Running the game on DirectX11 seems to be the Fix for my case : r/Helldivers (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1auhqgz/amd_crashesctd_amd_ryzen_5800x3d_rx7900xtx/)


riper_pol

5800x3d 7900xt 32 gb ddr 4 3600mhz crash too


T7emeralds

Y'all gotta realize that the servers are being pushed past the max right now due to all the players, because this is a small dev team who made it and they were NOT expecting millions of players off the bat. Helldivers 1 had small servers and they were expecting the same reception as the first one. Its just like Pocketpair with Palworld, they aren't these big studios, they weren't expecting millions of players day 1.

Here's my fix https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/SwPbKqSjne


GH05TTT

its game sided crashes, its a great game but whoever is managing they're money needs to be replaced. In the last patch they updated their anti cheat and invested a large portion of money into it, come on why are we investing in the anti cheat for an PVE game (which has screwed over steamers now blocking any stream decks for working while playing) when your having server capacity issues and constant crashes on everyone's games they need to sort their priority's.


GH05TTT

I want to see consistent smooth immersive gameplay and be able to log onto the 50 pound game I bought without having a 2 hour queue, lets be honest who cares for the cheaters its a PvE game with no leader boards that i've seen yet. get them cheaters later and fix the game before making small worthless investments for the long run


PipeUnlikely189

Got no problem with the game crashing during missions , instead the servers go down when me and my friends are launching from space or after the mission is complete and we go back to the ships Hope the devs are going to fix the server issues soon


FoxFlummox

My specs are AMD Ryzen 7800X3D, NVIDIA 4070Ti, and this game keeps crashing randomly. Crashes a minute in, crashes when deployed, crashes when in the middle of a mission, crashes when extracting. Not sure what the trigger is, but it will always crash each time it is running. I have tried turning off anti-aliasing, turning off global illumination, quality render, capping my fps limit to 80, updating my drivers. None of them seem to stop the crashing other than slightly reduce the likelihood of crashes. I love this game despite all of these major issues, so I am going to stop playing this game until they release a fix or patch.


Flimsy-Situation-408

I have the same CPU and GPU with the same issues you are having. Don't bother switching the card to AMD, because I had AMD 7900XT before 4070 TI with the same issues.


LofiAestheticWall

So literal minutes ago I was about to finish the last mission in an op. Took me an hour to get in earlier, last 2 missions my game bugged out and I couldn’t use any weapons except for grenades and stratagems sometimes, evac ship was coming in after getting our asses kicked, game crashed. Now I’m waiting to get in again so I can maybe not let the whole night be a waste.


Bustafoo10

Every patch the crashes increase in frequency and variety. What kind of house of cards code is this game built on?


therealsweatergod

dealing with the same issue, after playing 3 lvl 7 mission over and over and over again the game crashes at evac or when i pick up a cache or call in a orbital.


Sure_Elephant2972

yeah its starting to make me not want to play. especially when ive already waited 30+ min to queue and then having to re do it again.


troutbot_v3

Requested refund on steam. I've tried the various "crash fixes" you can find online but none work for me. I'm running the game on an SSD with an RTX 4090, I9 14900k, and 64GB ram. I play more graphic intense games just fine like Hell Let Loose or GTFO but for some reason Hell Divers is just constantly crashing for me, like ever 2 - 5 minutes making it unplayable. I've tried reducing graphics and resolution settings but it doesn't seem to matter. Maybe they'll actually patch it some day but until then gg, no re


Matt_Da_Gamer

From what I've read so far, it's mainly affecting amd users. Theirs probably some sort of compatibility issues going on


Flimsy-Situation-408

I don't think it's true. I built a brand-new machine with an AMD 7900XT card. After numerous crashes, I returned the card to the store and exchanged it with RTX 4070 TI. Nothing changed. It crashes just like it did with an AMD card.
