Crashing after extract at end of every second mission.

[Albert Minigolf]

Right when it gets ready to go to "mission end" screen it crashes. Happens every second mission in a campaign. Seems to happen to others as well as sometimes they randomly leave at that exact moment in the first part of the campaign. The good news is, it does save the progress at this point.

Try deleting your shader caches for DX11/12, Nvidia, and Helldivers 2
They're all in appdata folders
AMD users I think has a way to delete the shader cache thru their program.

Okay just went through the trouble of doing that. Didn't fix a damn thing.

Shame, worked for me, did you actually get a black screen for a minute or two when you relaunched the game for it to be rebuilding the shader cache? When I missed nvidia/DX shader cache, and only deleted HD2's, it didn't do that for me, when i got all 3 it did do that and I haven't had it a single time since.

I did get the black screen on first launch. Sadly it just isn't fixing the problem. Also I did clear all the caches, had to do some research to find them all but I did clear every cache I could. Alas I am here commenting because I have once again crashed and have decided to check my notifications. I think this is the part where I'm just going to take a break from Helldivers until they confirm they have fixed the crashing on mission start and mission extract. Frankly the state this product is in is just completely unacceptable. If that War Bond releases and they don't have this crash on extraction fixed in the same update I will have lost all faith in the developers.

That' it. Also fixed it for me.

Literally just validated, got through one mission without crashing, crashed on extraction on the second mission.

So maybe it was coincidence :/

It's not. Whatever they changed in the last update they did royally ♥♥♥♥♥♥ the game. Hopefully they fix it because as it stands the game is unplayable. I shouldn't have to relaunch the game after every other mission.

I've found that it's entirelly subjective. I lag sure, but I haven't crashed once. (knock on wood)

To people saying to verify files and it finds 1 corrupted file and that fixes it....it doesn't. The file that is "corrupted" isn't corrupted at all, it's a GameGuard file nplsm.des and GameGuard will change it once on game start because it doesn't like the version that Steam downloads.

It crashes about 50 percent if the time on extract for me.

All the time, everytime, since release, we all crashing at extraction...
Start to be a bit boring...
60% of the games you plays are crashing, then you wonder why we fail major orders...
Literally today out of 3 games, 2 crashed and one fail cause a swarm of lvl 12 joined our diff 8 lobby...

Fun slowly going away... The comunity is a nightmare, the crashes are persistent and the progression ends to lvl 25... I am 58... Major order are fun but not enought to keep the interest, i am at the limit of what i can handle in term of loosing time playing a game (and i have time to loose), those crashes needs to be fixed. Today i played 1h30 and get absolutely nothing out of this session, as game crashes loosing sample and ribbons, and the fun you had in during the game is just destroyed by the frustration to see you window desktop (with not even the possibility to report the bug)...

I meant, maybe it was coincidence, that it worked for me after the validation.

or the possibility to rejoin the game so you wont lose progress

If it helps my fellow helldivers...

I had been experiencing crashes at the end of every mission, playing 40 mins only to get frustrated at the end that my efforts were for nothing.

what i found was the game was overheating my PC and the system would crash. my PC is a hydro cooled i9, with RTX4080, so yes its top end... but it didnt prevent the issues.

I found an article that advised to lock the frame rate in Nvidia control panel to 70fps. you can do this quite easily in the control panel, and just select this game to apply the effects to. make sure FPS lock is 'Off' in game, and adjust the setting in Nvidia control panel.

Also reduce the 'fog' setting a little in game graphics menu., as thats apparently really intense on the GPU and can cause spikes in workload.

It fixed the problem for me, so I just wanted to share or help others who are/were in my position...

Give it a try... and good luck!
