Quick play not working Chimera OS

[Archduk3]

Hey!

I used to be on Bazzite, and playing Helldivers 2 I had no issue at all. But I recently swapped to Chimera OS, and I can’t get the game to connect to other players.

I suspect the anti-cheat isn’t working at all. I only get to “establishing connection with host ship” then it times out…

this has been an ongoing issue for a year now.

there is currently zero patches or fixes that work on a semi/full capacity

the only fix that has worked for me is to not play for a few days or play solo. ( it can effect you by the hour, i have had it effect me for 20 minutes at random in a 2 week span )
i am also the only one in my friend group that plays this game that has this issue. no one else has had this issue once

there is also an easy way to see if your still going to have a problem for that particular moment
when you launch the game and get to the hangar, bring up your steam friends list.

if it says "on ship" your fine

if it says "on main menu" your playing solo or or not at all

i have tried every "fix" that i have seen and some have worked, but stopped working a few days later at most or never work at all, most do nothing to fix issue.

another thing i have noticed is that there is never any mention of it from the DEVS. i have seen over 1000 posts about this problem and i have seen ZERO responses from a dev. this is both here on steam and the discord, i dont think the devs care about this issue at all or its being done on purpose, what that purpose could be, i couldn't even imagine



"EDIT" i have now seen one post from a dev/mod that talks about this issue or a very similar issue and that post is from February 2024.


yes this is a copy/paste comment for all the posts that I see that match this issue

EDIT #2

just got done with a 7 hour session without issue.

i had to switch from a wired Ethernet connection to a wifi connection.

i have zero idea why running wired is causing the issue but wifi doesn't.

this tip came from the discord server mods and has seemed to work for me.

now i just need them to reimburse me the $50 for the wifi adapter that i needed to get this to work.
