Electric weapons crash lobbies... why everyone uses them

[Sicilian, Eater of Arancini]

3rd lobby in a row my game crashes because there is always at least 1 helldiver with an electric weapon... this game is needlessy hard solo and I can't even play with people because they have to bring glitched stuff... I don't wanna kick people!

No excuse. These are the kind of people who probably can't read at 3rd grade level, as they're always conveniently "unaware" about anything in the patch notes

Press Tab, see if they have arc weapon stratagem, or watch them fighting, if they do, press O and kick the player. Problem solved.

Because not everyone is on Twitter or gaming forums to know. Some people haven't played in days to know there's a crashing issue. The devs should have temporarily removed the bugged weapons.

Strawman. It's not that hard to look up on google to check "Helldivers 2 updates/patch notes (insert day/month here)" or something like that. If those people are too inept to check every now and then, that's on them.

Pretty much what's other point out. Not everyone is in news circle. It should be removed temporarily. Arc thrower is a great support weapons so I'm not surprised a lot of people want to use it.

It appears, judging by how mad you are, that is in fact on YOU.

It isn't. But not everyone's life revolves around HD2 to care to look it up. And again, some people are logging on without being aware that there's an issue to investigate in the first place.

The only place the devs posted the information about it is on Discord.

I dunno if they posted it anywhere else but the Discord.
it's always a little messy when game companies use an assortment of 3rd party platforms to communicate.

Not an issue for me, as I take the time to check whether or not there's been a new update or patch. And I have no social media accounts anywhere. No more from you, who is unworthy of further quoting.

It's an issue for them, as they never bother checking anyway. Have they learned nothing that such things happen over time?

Oh yea, games stay exactly as they are forever, no bugfixes or anything. That's why nobody ever thinks to themselves "I've not touched this game in a hot minute, lemme check if things have changed for the better before reinstalling"

Congrats, you're the king of free time and a dedicated soldier.

If you think lots of free time allows one to do this, you sir, know nothing of time management

[L1qu1dator]

Haven't seen anyone using them for last 2 days.

The main issue is with the BLITZER, and some minor happens with the TESLA. I could run as test more than 30 runs with using only the ARC and had no crashes...

When i started using the Blitzer it crashed like 8 times out of 10 and with multiple TESLA sentries something like 4 out of 10.

Prior the test i made a file check AND removed the cache shader file to rebuild it and be sure no corrupted cache was stored.
