[SOLVED] Nonstop crashing after booting up game

[TexyFox]

*** UPDATE *** May 16th, 2024
If anyone has Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer or Sonic Suite Companion or any other software that's related to it, uninstalling/deleting it solved my crashing.

What helped me was this reddit post:

Specifically this link the reddit post provided:
https://github.com/helldivers2fixes/HellbombScript/tree/main

Using that script in Powershell helped me identify the cause of the problem which was Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer. I had to go through some hoops to uninstall/delete it, but I used DriverStoreExplorer to help force delete it along with the Realtek audio driver that kept Sonic Studio installed.

When I bought it back in April, the game ran fine after a week or two. But ever since their recent updates/patches, right around the time I load into the ship after booting up the game, it freezes and then crashes straight to desktop without any error messages. Other games I've played ran perfectly, its only HellDivers 2 that's giving me a hard time.

I've looked up solutions to stop the crashing, enabling/disabling settings in the game, in windows, bios, and everything is up to date, but nothing has worked so far. I've stress tested my cpu, gpu, and ram along with stability testing and it all looked normal to me.

Whenever I verify integrity of the game's files, at first it was always 5 files that failed to validate, but recently it's only been 1 file that keeps failing now.

My Specs
CPU: i5- 13600K 3.5 GHz
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3070
Memory: 64 GB DDR5-6000
Storage: 1TB ADATA Legend 840, 1TB Samsung SSD 860 EVO
OS: Windows 11 Pro x64

I've heard that the game doesn't run well on intel's 13th and 14th gen cpu, which I hope that it's just the game itself and not my PC causing the problem.

If there's anything else I can do then let me know, but that this point I felt like I pretty much tried all solutions the internet has to offer, but the game still crashes regardless.

The game has been really fun to play with my friends when it was working at the time, but its disappointing and frustrating that I can't do that anymore. I'm either gonna have to wait till they update and patch the game some more or I just request for a refund since the game has been unplayable for me.

Im having the exact same issues!!! Stable network tried verify method, antivirus disable and firewall etc etc no luck at all, i think it must be server issues!

I blame Sony. They introduced PSN as mandatory, Failed, but Now make the game unfun to make people quit so when they reintroduce PSN mandatory they don't get review bombed. They continue to refuse to buy more Servers and let 177 non PSN not non Arrowhead and or Steam countries back in... Oh I'm sorry Sony added three more to the list. It's SONY'S FAULT AND THEIRS ALONE. Sony can go bankrupt with Disney, Whatever company replaces it will learn from Sony's folly and thrive. Such is the nature of capitalism.
