⭐⭐Update Crashing constantly after patch ⭐⭐

[L364CY]

I'm reaching out to share my recent experience with HELLDIVERS 2 following the latest patch, which has unfortunately not been positive. Since the update, the game crashes randomly, typically about 10 to 20 minutes into play sometimes 5min, resulting in lost progress and the inability to rejoin. This issue is significantly impacting my enjoyment and overall experience.

I'm currently running the game on a high-spec system with an RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 RAM, and an i9 9900K processor, so hardware limitations shouldn't be the cause. Before this update, the game was running smoothly, and I was genuinely enjoying every moment. Now, I find myself hesitant to engage in optional quests or activities for fear of another crash.

I understand that developing and maintaining a game is complex and challenging, but I kindly ask that future patches undergo thorough testing to prevent such disruptive issues. The community values HELLDIVERS 2, and we all wish to enjoy it to the fullest, without the constant worry of losing progress due to crashes.

I'm looking forward to a resolution and continuing to support HELLDIVERS 2 as a dedicated player.

NOTE TESTED FOR a bit and found out if no one in the team uses ARC TH, the game is a bit stable. IF any one in the team uses the ARC TH, random player get crash.

I've been having this problem since launch. I've scoured the forums and tried all the tricks. Turn off AA, run as admin, etc... Every time I validate the files, 1 or 2 need to be reacquired. The latest trick is forcing the game to use DX11 ( -use-d3d11). I was able to play for several hours without an issue. BUT, that's happened before.

Here's the thing, I should not HAVE to tricks to get the game to work. Every build is different and this is complex but the fact that this has been effecting so many players and has not been addressed is disappointing.

same here. a lot of people claim it has something to do with the arc thrower. every mission i've brought it on I've crashed randomly, whether or not I was using it.

[undyingking]

Same here, I cant even complete a game session because it always crash during it

[Fragarach]

Constant crashes. It's been suggested the arc thrower is part of the problem, for whatever reason, and I have been using it so that may explain my crashes. But presumably it does not explain network connection lost issues, which are also the problem. I haven't been able to finish a 40 minute match. Only the 12-15 minute missions.

Same here, a month and a half later is ridiculous for there to be this many people with crashing issues still.

Same here. It is maybe a coincidence, but in my case most of the crashes happened when I do this actions together; walk + charge/shot ARC TH + bend/jump body to ground.

I used the ARC TH plenty during my games after the patch, but as I said, I sense it only crashes when I do that combination.

Thanks for the main thread and thanks to the developer team

Yeap, I run a mission and people are joining. Usually before we would run a mission with the same people we have started it with. Now at least 5 times they get disconnected, then someone else joins in their place. My game also crashes often. Definitely way worse after the recent update

[Vishus55]

i found ANY arc weapon causes crashes. I played 1 game where just 1 person had the Arc 12 but not arc thrower and we crashed. Next 3 games i played with 0 arc weapons of any kind went perfect. DO NOT USE ARC WEAPONS UNTIL THIS IS PATCHED

[Dasmortas]

Not completed one mission today crashed out every match

game froze when guy to left shot hes Arc thrower was perfect screen shot

[IKILLBUGS]

My buddy and I are having the same issues. Arc thrower definitely seems to make game crash, best if no one has it in party. Game still crashes regardless, very upsetting. This is all after the latest patch 1003. Did not experience these problems beforehand. This is constant crashing. Rollback that patch and acknowledge the on-going issue.

[GHDW]

Tried missions without the Arc Thrower to prove that it was the issue.
No freezing or crash, and was able to extract.
