Text glitch.

[BB88]

GTX 1080 here. I'm getting a strange text glitch that happens to HUD elements where some letters don't show up and text become increasingly blurry and fragmented. Its also accompanied by some flickering sometime. Restart fixes the issue but after some time...5-25 mins, it starts again.
Drivers are up to date.
I've heard from other with this issue and they also had GTX 10 series cards.

Been having the same issue since i updated my graphics card. Went into my NVIDIA control panel went down to Adjust video image settings, go to edge enhancement click use NVIDIA settings, put it on +47% and so far no issues

[Ozunu]

I also went to Adjust video color settings, clicked on advanced set the Dynamic range from limited to full.......not to sure if this one worked or helped it

That's some good info, thanks for that! But again, I don't play Helldivers 2 exclusively and I'd have to basically adjust my settings every time I would wanna play it.
Hopefully devs will fix it in due time.

Having this same issue. Usually the game eventually crashes once it gets really bad, a lot of letters go missing.

Does your UI also flash white for like half a second?

FIX!!! READ THIS

here are things what have i did try and did not work

Turning on v.sync- did not work

Playing on native resolution with no render scaling - did not work

Playing on warious settings- did not work

downgrading drivers - was to lazy and did not try

what helped is go to Control panel>Video>Adjust video image settings>Edge enhancement and set it to +47%, this so far fixed my issue on 1080Ti

Just chiming in, the driver downgrade fixed mine too.

I attempted deleting the player config in helldivers, but that made no difference.

Downgraded to 546.65, now its fine.

GTX 1080 and ryzen 5800x3d.

FIXED (GTX 10 series)

Changed setting from:
Options -> Display -> Renderscale: NATIVE
make sure to save your settings!
Worked for me!

Alternatively search with advanced driver search (nvidea) to use older drivers for your graphics card. In my case, I did not have to revert back, just change this one setting.
Anyway here is the link to searc for your gpu drivers (older versions)

if you choose to revert drivers for gtx 10 series look for date: January 17, 2024
This seems to have worked for others.

Setting it to "native" didn't work for me at all, but that might be cause I'm using the new drivers. Can't really go and use the older as I play other games that work better with the new one.

Still. the driver fix is a good temporary fix for people who go HD2 only.

Doesnt work.

I finally fix this problem by switching the game to DirectX 11.

Step 1: Delete DirectX 12 shader cache. Remove all files in folder:
%APPDATA%\Arrowhead\Helldivers2\shader_cache

Step 2: Add the DirectX 11 to the game launch options:
Right click on Helldivers 2 in Steam Library, select "Properties" -> "General" -> add to launch options:
--use-d3d11

The fix I found for this one on the latest drivers is

HUD -> Heads Up Display Scale. Set it to 1.0

This worked. Can confirm that this was the solution for me. I tried every other solution listed in this thread but yielded no changes until this one.

Also worked for me, even my CPU is running better for some reason, I had troubles with FPS (which I still do), but at least it's not screaming like a dying giraffe now.
