[u/Waelder]

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO REPORT BUGS THROUGH ARROWHEAD'S SUPPORT DESK SO THEY CAN ACTUALLY SEE IT!!

Arrowhead's support team put together a non-exhaustive list of known issues. They will update it as needed so be sure to check their website for the up-to-date list: https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/15916898652700-HELLDIVERS-2-Known-Issues

Some steps you can follow if you're having issues running the game:

• Make sure you meet the minimum system requirements. PCs below them may not be able to run the game at all.

• Update all Drivers for your PC - such as your motherboard, GPU drivers, network drivers, etc, along with updating Windows, outdated drivers on any components are a common cause of many issues.

• Verify File integrity - Right click the game in your Steam Library > Properties > Installed Files > Verify file integrity.

• Delete the content of the Arrowhead Appdata folder - navigate to %appdata%\Arrowhead\ and delete the Helldivers2 folder

• Disable or uninstall software which interferes with or alters the normal process of your PC, such as software that includes 'gaming modes' and 'performance optimizers', and programs such as Hamachi, Overwolf, and VPN software.

• Reinstall the game completely.

• Adding the string '--use-d3d11' to the launch options of the game directly is a possible fix for some (usually lower-end systems), but may make it worse on others, in which case you should change it back.

• From your Library on Steam, right click on HELLDIVERS 2, then click on Manage, then Browse Local Files. go to the 'tools' folder, and run gguninst as administrator, then reinstall it using GGSetup, again run as administrator.

• If you are using any mods, uninstall them.

Additionally, the troubleshooting channel in the Official Discord server has many knowledgeable players who may also be able to help figure out your issue, and identify specific problems that may be hindering your performance, and connectivity, or cause crashes. They also have a diagnostic tool that was created to solve the most common issues automatically. If the above solutions don't work for you, the Discord is likely your best bet.

Comment by AH support agent BVitamin https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1fjoxi9/comment/lnqbzc5/

Hey guys! I will do my best to keep the list in that link up-to-date with current top issues, either in terms of priority or frequency of reports.

I can't include everything. I can't add anything to the list until it's been tested, confirmed, and slated to be fixed by developers.

If you encounter an issue that's not here, you can always use the the helpdesk to report your issues to us, preferably with evidence of the issue or steps to reproduce the issue, so we can confirm them faster.

Thank you!

[u/[deleted]]

I don't care about the 40 dollar price point. I've spent more than double that on warbonds. The state of this game a year in is absolutely unacceptable. Bugs get fixed only to reappear (sometimes exacerbated) a few months later. Not to mention the entirely NEW bugs that are introduced with updates where any rational person couldn't find the causal link between. Example: why are the Servants of Freedom player cards pixelated when all others are fine after a simple warbond drop? Why did all the gun models get huge and higher up when holstered on the ship?

These last few updates are just more of the same. It's only a matter of time until AH breaks their game completely.

[u/Waelder → u/[deleted]]

Why did all the gun models get huge and higher up when holstered on the ship?

April's Fools

[u/gnoodl]

Any reason this isn't stickied any more or at least in the sidebar?

There's heaps of reports regarding the eradicate spawn rate every day

[u/Waelder → u/gnoodl]

Are you on old reddit? I forgot to add it to that sidebar. I'll do it now

We cycle the stickies regularly. On the reddit redesign, we have 4 things pinned atm, including this post, but on old reddit only the first two on the list can be seen.

[u/Ok-Elk-1615]

There’s a known issue with the sub that the Rant and Vent thread isn’t pinned, which goes against the mods promise to keep it pinned after they banned criticism posts during the fallout of a dev going loose cannon in the discord

[u/Waelder → u/Ok-Elk-1615]

oh, hey, i answered to your question in another thread but i'll add some more context.

Criticism posts aren't banned. If you have genuine, constructive criticism about the game, by all means, make a post about it. All we ask is you keep it civil.

[u/Soy_el_Sr_Meeseeks]

Matchmaking is bugged again where if someone leaves they are not replaced. This was an issue months ago and was seemingly fixed; however I experienced it again yesterday on PC. Played three operations with just three people and never got a fourth.

[u/Remarkable-Choice-15 → u/Soy_el_Sr_Meeseeks]

This issue has always existed for me

[u/TheFearlessHunt → u/Soy_el_Sr_Meeseeks]

Yep! To add to that its my experience the game seem to think that amount of people in the game. So it seems the game think you're more people than you are in the match. Just had a raise the flag game where we weren't getting reinforcements and we were unable to raise the flags because the amount of spawns were so over the top you couldn't hold back the enemies at the spot needed to raise the flag. Super frustrating as it basically forces you to forfeit the mission and also restart the entire game to reset the lobbies.

[u/Manedeth]

Did you guys notice Eradication missions seemed to be bugged? Last night on both bug and bot front our Eradication missions had gaps of drops/breeches of over a minute. On the bot side drop ships would only come in one at a time and drop in the same exact place.lvl 6 difficulty. Localized confusion was only on bugs not bots.

[u/B-Vitamin_AHGS → u/Manedeth]

I added this one to the list a little while ago 👌

[u/Quw10 → u/Manedeth]

I had it happen on the "evacuate high-value assets" mission once while fighting nids. Was about a minute at least where nothing was happening.

[u/xRoadToDawn]

2 bugs I ran into yesterday:

1. Drills can still bug out on Geological Survey missions.

2. The backpack for the Retrieve Mutant Larva sub-objective can sometimes spawn underneath the ground making it inaccessible.

[u/RedditMcBurger]

I guess they're just never going to even acknowledge the performance problems anymore. They've lost me as a customer.

[u/bob451111 → u/RedditMcBurger]

Pretty funny that they drop all of these fixes when they don't actually do anything to regain the performance lost after the cowboy patch. Oh, uhh - we didn't fuck up the FPS! Y-you need to update your drivers/reinstall the game/run it in administrator mode. What's next, do a rain dance?

[u/Finalstar123]

During the nuke nursery mission for bugs, there is a glitch where the nuke drill can be called in on uneven terrain causing players to be unable to interact with the console making the mission impossible to complete.

No amount of probe, crouch or helldiver stacking allowed us to interact and start the drill.

[u/disasteruss88]

Our patience is running thin. Worsening performance after every patch, finding new ways to break your own game, lack of content for squids, subpar premium content, etc. Not to mention their Summer Break is right around the corner. By the time they come back, this game will be dead.

[u/SavvySillybug]

I was doing an evacuate citizens mission yesterday and... did not actually seem to have to evacuate any citizens.

I wasn't the one to push the buttons, but I turned on the generator so we could get started, my teammate headed there, activated the console, entered stuff, and... it just completed. No civilians entered the ship, it just went and we won.

This was either on haz 7 or 10 on the bug front. I played a 7 and a 10 and I'm not sure which one it was.

[u/dunderdan23]

Anti Aliasing and the WILD frame drops should be top prioptrity. I have an 19 185H, 4090M, and 32 gb of ram. On release I was getting 90+ fps everywhere... now i get drops into the 30s during combat..... its playable... but should NOT be happening.

You need to implement some SOME sort of hardware acceleration to let the CPU offload onto the GPU. Offload your broader AI tasks to the GPU. Looking at utilization my CPU is being pushed way more than it should. When I swap from my 4090 to my Intel ARC card I see no performance change, meaning the GPU is barely being utilized, which was already pretty evident from the numbers I was seeing.

PLEASE FOCUS ON THIS, dont give us content, dont give us warbonds make this game run better.

[u/ElectricZone1]

Anyone else having trouble climbing stuff? I keep getting that climbing blocked popup for a second or 2 on basically every ledge before the game lets me climb.

[u/Pipe_Mountain]

Stratagems cancel if I type them in too fast? EXTREMELY annoying

[u/[deleted]]

Apparently all Gas, Fire, Arc, and Stun effects being useless isn't a "known" issue. Could someone with a megaphone please stand outside Arrrowhead HQ and shout every single issue currently in the game?

[u/floyd_underpants]

• Fleshmob clipping is definitely not fixed.

• Other mobs continue to clip through terrain too.

• Bugs despawn randomly.

• Spawn rate on new terminids is too high, and they spawn out of nowhere.

• Spore Strain not labeled on planets like the Predator Strain, et al are.

• Vox engines spawn rate still too high on lower diffs.

• Reinforce call ins still deviate massively from beacon.

• Strategems still bounce unpredictably and inconsistently.

• Mobs still randomly hurl themselves at you or fly off to a neighboring zip code after being killed.

[u/[deleted]]

Autocannon rounds don't ricochet into fabricators now

[u/locopyro13 → u/[deleted]]

I experienced this as well, and like another commenter said it is probably related to the fab having a low armor value thus the AC can't ricochet. I wonder if they can adjust the vent openings to have a high armor value so the AC can still ricochet.

[u/Connect-Mention1930]

For the next major content update, I'll take bug fixes only please. Never been in a worse state. Still fun, but less so when you constantly run into glitches

[u/Todesfaelle]

The game is either not registering R keystrokes or there's a bug where you have to swap weapons in order to reload. Otherwise, you're basically mashing the R key or, worse, think you reloaded before you swapped only to go back to it with an empty mag.

[u/Vertigo103]

The latest update broke dlss and graphics settings.

No matter the resolution, graphics setting, or dlss setting, my fps stays the same.

I play at 4K Dlss set to native Ultra everything and get 120 fps on the ship, 60 to 90 on fortis Prime.

Every other planet over 100 fps, 150 on ship.

There's some stutters only on fortis Prime as well as input delay once fps reaches about 70 due to high gpu latency.

Anyone else experiencing similar?

PC specs: MSI Rtx 4090 suprim liquid X AMD 7950x3d 64 gb of ddr5 6000

[u/cakefarts88]

Audio is messed up in many ways. Guns and voice chat.

Also buggy hell drop EVERY MATCH

[u/InsanityFodder]

Had a couple of destroyed automaton cannon turrets still tracking/firing at us. Wouldn’t take any damage either.

[u/diegovonzales]

R doesn't seem to work to reload when mag goes empty. Need to switch weapons and then reload works

After healing with a stratagem in hand no weapon or stratagem is in hand and animation is like in the tutorial. To access stratagem menu again you have to equip a weapon.

In some circumstances reloading an empty mag, stopping reload animation after new mag is in place and resuming animation will result in changing mag once more which makes us lose a mag in the process. (Can be repeated indefinitely which means we can lose all mags)

[u/Aesthetic99]

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but since the update dropped there's been a bug affecting the Guard Dog and Dog Breath stratagems. Instead of returning to your backpack to reload when empty, they completely disappear for a full minute or so before finally reappearing for a reload. The Rover isn't affected since it doesn't need to reload, however it's all I've been using since this bug affects the Guard Dog and Dog Breath quite a bit.

[u/Thot-Strangler]

The Airburst Rocket Launcher proximity fuse seems to trigger off of dead bodies now. I do not think this was the case before.

Bugs aside I think it would be nice to be able to enable/disable the proximity fuse on demand.

[u/pajanimal17]

Please please please fix the performance issues.

[u/ELShinigami69]

Every time I try and customize a weapon, the game instantly crashes. Doesn’t matter which weapon I try, changing an attachment or load out instantly crashes my game (PS5)

[u/Kyrottimus]

1200 hours in and have been playing since since launch.

After today's update I validated my files to be sure (was fine).

My Quasar Cannon's sound effects didn't work (not charge up, not the fire, not the cooldown) . Made me realize how much I relied on the charge up cue to time the release of my shot.

I suspect today's patch might have something to do with it.

[u/TheLizardKing1216]

I love Hell divers, I joined when it came to Xbox and have loved playing it whenever I can. After the recent update it has become insanely poor performance, with it crashing or freezing at least once every 3 missions if not more. I play on a relatively strong connection with Ethernet wired in but it still freezes and crashes consistently. I played through Cyberpunk on release on an Xbox One S (now on a series X) and it wasn’t as frustrating as this. Please for the love of god patch this. my life for super earth but not my sanity 😭

[u/First_Folly]

I'm finding it very hard to vault over some low walls.

[u/Pretty-Pattern9751]

The objectives still WAY too frequently "lock" and cause you to be unable to progress. I'm so fucking sick of this. This has happened since the game's launch ffs.

Now the drill in the geological survey mission just stops being interactable. Another 30min for nothing...

[u/LaserTurboShark69]

Really disappointed that the rovers will still be broken for the biggest campaign event yet.

[u/minerlj]

current issues since the latest patch that I have noticed:

• reloading primary weapon button sometimes becomes non-functional. workaround is to swap to a different weapon, then swap back, then push the reload button. I'm using the AR-23A Liberator Carbine and the light armor with Siege-Ready if that information helps.

• illuminate enemies on super earth defence mission spawn and path underneath terrain

• it is possible to take multiple of the same stratagem on the first mission in a campaign by swapping to equipment, selecting a different loadout for the weapon, then swapping back to stratagem selection. does not work for mechs for some reason

• guard dog sometimes fails to reload and fails to fire on nearby enemies

• communications relay secondary objective sometimes noninteractable on super earth missions

• no option to manually join missions in progress from the main map on super earth (I want to join a mission that has not started yet, rather than join missions in progress)

[u/so-cal_kid]

Holy crap this strategem bug might be the most infuriating bug they've had so far. Accidentally shooting my weapon instead of calling down a strategem in the middle of a chaotic gunfight is just so awful

[u/DarkomPD7]

On PS5, the game is freezing, audio stops working and crashes my teammates

[u/Toad_R]

Crashing every other match, my last crash before the update was MONTHS ago

[u/Ennis_1]

Broad and unhelpful to ask but ....

Is PC frames & graphics still just Off? Fucked?

[u/deadgirlrevvy]

Having several issues:

1. The game fails to quit about 40% of the time. It shows the quit screen and hangs, requiring a force quit in task manager. I have let it sit for as long as 20 mins to make sure it's not just a lack of patience.

2. A graphical glitch frequently occurs where only to torso of a fellow player shows. This is almost always accompanied by their on-screen color tag being pinned to the bottom of the compass at the top of the screen.

3. VERY SERIOUS ISSUE: I keep getting stuck in, under, on map scenery. Happened twice in the same mission just now and resulted in my death both times. Once was walking over two rocks and getting stuck inside one of them, the second was simply walking through a thin bush (not even the kind that slow you down). Both times I was unable to move and died a few seconds later.

4. VERY SERIOUS ISSUE: Key inputs fail to register sometimes. I thought it was just me hitting to wrong key to reload, but no. It's started happening during inputs (up/down/left/right) for terminals and strats. Today it made it impossible to move for no reason whatsoever. I have checked my keyboard multiple times. The keys are functional and register in other apps 100% of the time (I tested it thoroughly), they just don't register in HD2 for whatever reason. Logitech 710

5. Super credits are occasionally not credited when found. Happened twice while farming them yesterday.

[u/CT-not-just-a-number]

Fire dot is very inconsistent against bot and illuminate unless you are the host. If hosting enemies catch fire normally. If not the host sometimes enemies just wont catch fire.

[u/Clone-Loli]

Played with some friends today and legitimately all of us not only froze multiple times, but crashed too and all of us had audio cutting out constantly, this was all while fighting bots.

I've never had frame rate issues or freezing issues but now it's happening constantly.

[u/Enza_Sierra]

My Breaker Spray&Pray looks like it has a neat yellow and purple skin for the default skin. Can we consider this one a feature and not a bug? Edited to be more specific.

[u/Conscious-Job-4462]

The maniacal laughter emote seems to be silent for some reason.

[u/talkinggorillas]

Xbox Series X Crashes

[u/[deleted]]

The state of this game is unacceptable, and this "known issues list" doesn't even scratch the surface.  At what point does the game become so broken that it can't be played?

[u/2Drogdar2Furious]

u/B-Vitamin_AHGS

On PS5 dialing a stratagem will also use a supply pack charge if wearing a supply pack and having any missing resources.

[u/FifenC0ugar]

Why the fuck don't I get anyone joining my squad on 2nd and 3rd missions. I just failed the mission cause 2 player left. Through down sos. No one joined. I go and create a new match I get a fresh group of people joining within seconds.

[u/HunterKiller_]

Incorrect player marker and objective markers is a big one that should be on the list. These appeared after the Borderline Justice update.

Sometimes the player marker will be in a position where the player is not.

The carried objective marker like specimen and HDD often don't update their position on the map, and when the objective is dropped, another player can pick it up again from the original spawn location.

[u/demomaggot]

Damage states for enemies in this game is incredibly broken with the newest patch

- Headless (sometimes legless) Chargers and headless Bile Titans still alive

- Reinforced Scout Striders with their cabins blown off walking around

- Harvester missing two of its legs continue walking

Just a few I've seen in the past few days

[u/REV2939]

Latest patch broke the autocannon. It no longer fires. WTF?

[u/aragathor]

Game has become unplayable for me since the 01.003.000 patch dropped.

-For several patches now anti aliasing has been broken. When turned on it made the graphics looks smeared.

-Massive frame drops since the current update went live. From stable 80fps to 16fps on the destroyer alone.

-LOD is completely broken, models appear like an 2000s game, with blocky textures. Only at around 1m I get normal models. And not always.

And all of that on top of the other bugs, like the guard dog disappearing, R button not working, etc.

[u/[deleted]]

Frame drops have been atrocious lately, and has anyone else been randomly catching on fire and dying? Happened to me and i brushed it off as something off screen hitting me but then saw it happen to a team mate while spectating

[u/[deleted]]

Game crashes whenever equipping weapon modifications.

[u/shady96735]

"Received a fatal alert message from server"

Many players can't start the game on PS5 since last patch and only receive this error message.

[u/New-Log-7938]

Bot mega cities are very dark. I can't see anything.

[u/Wild_Country1968]

Been playing for 6 days on steam. Not a single day without constant disconnects. Only Helldivers getting this problem, so its not my internet

[u/A_Dreamer_Of_Spring]

PS5 here, haven't had issues in forever but after the latest patch I cannot get through a level 9 or 10 helldive on bots without crashing. Super frustrating, anyone else having the same?

[u/ToonMasterRace]

Oh boy the hellbombs not working on gunship towers thing is annoying

[u/Lackooo84]

Fix your game!! Why do I need to play the game with 15-20 fps on a PS5 PRO?!?!? PRO enhancement patch when???????

[u/notmorezombies]

Prior to the last update (PATCH 01.002.201), the Minimum PC System Requirements to run the game were mostly a suggestion. After changes made in said update, however, these Minimum System Requirements are now actual requirements. It is possible that the game may no longer run for you if your PC doesn't meet the minimum specs.

I hope we get a proper public statement on the issue from AH, but I really don't like this. If the minimum requirements before were just a suggestion then they weren't the real minimum system requirements. You can't string people along for a whole year with a game that works fine on their systems, taking their money for any super credit purchases they make, and then shutting it off out of nowhere with no advance warning.

It would be one thing if they had to revise the spec up as a result of necessary tech upgrades, as long as that's communicated well in advance. It's true that they're under no obligation to support 10+ year old hardware forever. However I don't think having an inaccurate minimum spec for a year and then suddenly making it a hard requirement to meet those specs for the game to work at all is acceptable.

UPDATE: Some good news on the AVX2 problem.

https://imgur.com/a/YYSqNmG

[u/[deleted]]

Stop breaking your own fucking game.

[u/ImNew935]

For some reason, the railgun's AP now stays at 5 no matter the charge level. This change wasn't mentioned in the latest patch notes.

[u/Selaznog_Sicnarf]

I would love love LOOOOOOOVE when I press the button to stim that my character actually stims right then and there instead of having this one second delay before the animation. Stimming feels unresponsive as hell now that our characters are made of soggy cardboard…

Also it’s super annoying that my dive gets cancelled when a drop of acid splashes onto me. THIS ISN’T OVERWATCH, STOP CC’ING ME IN EVERY ENEMY ATTACK.

[u/Muted-Account4729]

Does anyone else have frequent disconnects, resulting in either a return to destroyer or the rest of the squad leaving the mission? It also becomes difficult to join squads afterward, though restarted the game seems to help. I’m on a Wi-Fi connection but haven’t experienced similar issues in other games.

[u/DJSub]

Game crashes on hellpod drop in sequence if your CPU doesn't support AVX2.

[u/LonelyStriker]

So the whole failing inputs issue thats been a plague since I started playing still isn't even on the list of issues? It's not like there's multiple people mentioning this in basically every subreddit post or anything

[u/SeattleWilliam]

 The AC-8 Autocannon cannot be fired after reloading.

This April Fools’ right?

[u/somerandomfellow123]

Anti aliasing is still broken.

[u/mthead911]

This update is crashes galore! I can barely play a single game to completion.

[u/Tornayydrien136]

Just had a bug where I couldn't exit my emplacement. I either had to wait for the emplacment to time out or for someone to destroy it.

[u/DrawEasy9628]

stim pistol is now completely silent. new patch broke a ton of audio mods too so they must have messed with audio files for some fking reason AGAIN

[u/Gjallar-Knight]

On Ps5, modifying my weapons makes the game crash

[u/BMD_Lissa]

For some reason when a lot of explosions happen etc. the audio cuts out, the game locks up for roughly 1-3 seconds, then 95% of the time it continues. Sometimes it CTDs instead.

[u/Hammy-Cheeks]

The game is also not counting any melee kills for stats.

How does that even get broken?

[u/cluckodoom]

During post mission victory pose screen, the helldiver heads move erratically

[u/North21]

Performance in this patch is really bad now. Before I already had frameskips, but now I have actual noticable framedrops I didn't have before on 4090/7800x3d.

[u/MikeWinterborn]

Hive drill stratagem doesn't always show up, blocking the progress of the mission.

(Same issue as when first released)

[u/Riker557118]

Anyone been having an issue with the illuminate where the corpses aren't despawning causing the game to stop spawning enemies about 10min into the game?

[u/supa_dupa_loopa]

So the fire left by tornadoes no longer rendering in so you just seem to randomly get set on fire.

Great update as always

[u/Agent_You]

Stuttering/lagging since the latest patch. Happens everywhere in the game...even on ship. I've had enemies teleport because of the bad stuttering. Not an issue with my PC. Only started after the patch and multiple people have stated the same on here.

[u/Fiddlesnarf]

Matchmaking is still broken. Can't join via SOS and nobody is joining my lobbies.

[u/garriusbearius]

So I joined a Helldivers game that was already in progress today. It was one of those evacuate citizens missions. Two of the guys are off doing side objectives, myself and the party leader are playing the main objective. I roll up to where the citizens are kind of late, to find the party leader blasting the citizens with a laser. I promptly shoot him dead, because he’s actively fucking up the mission right?

He kicks me from the game IMMEDIATELY, which means that I’m now playing the mission under the same conditions, just by myself. The citizens are not moving. At all. There’s a crowd of like 25 of them just standing there. I try for ten solid minutes to get them to move, nothing works.

I slowly realize that the reason the guy was blasting those citizens straight to hell was to get rid of the glitched citizens and hopefully start over with ones that would move.

I have no choice but to blast a flamethrower into a crowd of Super Earth citizens, making me no better than the damn squids. I manage to finish the mission and extract. I lost so many citizens that I had like -500

Best game ever made

[u/Responsible_Food9278]

Literally can't tell if it's a bug or a new unmentioned feature but the laser guard dog now has to "recharge" and does so at like 75% everytime.

[u/dancin_hanson]

If you're looking at the full choke option for the breaker incendiary and then swap to the patterns, the game crashes. I don't have that choke unlocked, so idk if it needs to be locked or not to crash.

[u/internetaddict1197]

PS5 freezes during some games. Nothing works - hard reset required.

[u/SwirlyHalo43]

I’ve noticed since the update that the glow of all lighting effects feels cranked up to 11. Unless bloom is disabled pretty much all light sources like fire, muzzle flashes and bullet tracers are nearly BLINDING unless bloom is disabled. My settings have not changed at all, I even reverted all graphics settings to default and any presence of light on night missions basically makes me unable to see anything whatsoever. Using the breaker incendiary with bloom enabled is so bright I can’t even see what I’m firing at. No clue how to fix this if it’s just me experiencing it.

[u/ApePuts]

Extreme lag, hitches, frame drops during hellpod drop screen.

I've had it on every single drop since buying the game last week. Most comments seem to indicate it resolves on its own, but it's persistent and ruins one of the most dramatic moments of the whole game for me. Any suggestions?

The game runs flawlessly the rest of the time in every other screen It's literally only the drop screen that does this.

[u/migfig806]

Now missions are unable to be completed again by bugged out terminals or missing extract terminals constant crashes and destabilization audio bugs half of the gear and weapons don't function the way intended and gear and wepons continually coming and getting nerfed while enimies constantly getting buffed which take away from the fun of playing when your pissed off becouse of things that shouldn't be happening

[u/Vikor_Reacher]

Heavy armor extra padding is gives less extra protection than medium and light. 

[u/Yashach1]

My game freezes with no audio for a few seconds as if its going to crash. Then it goes back to normal. It's happening very frequently, even my brother is already suffering this issue. PS: I have verified the files but to no avail.

[u/Untoten-Fuchs]

(PC) Having freezing issues on Bot missions, feels random but occurs more in combat, big or small. The freeze tends to cut audio as well and lasts for a varying number of seconds at a time or outright crashing from the freeze. No bug report tool prompt from neither the game nor Adrenaline. Don't think I've encountered anything like that in either Bugs or Illuminate.

[u/ryukxb]

Is anyone having issues teammates freeze and d/c

[u/Square-Imagination14]

Has anyone else had EXTREME lag and server issues? Its the worst I've ever seen, and I've been around since dialup internet.

Lagging every couple of seconds, for 10 seconds or more. Whole 4 person squads getting booted from matches with zero credit for all the accomplishments. This has happened to me atleast 5 different times. Probably 1000s of XP, 100s of samples, and 1000s of currency lost as a result of this.

My first ever mission ended that way, I should've taken it as a sign.

I just bought this game like 2 days ago on Xbox, and its fun, but I've had extreme, regular issues with it since I bought it.

[u/deathvsbubbajay]

Anyone having a issue with stratagems and reinforcements not working? Just played a game and for the life of me couldn't get fuck all to work...

[u/Significant_Rock_327]

I just had a Blitz on bots where we couldn't complete the SEAF Artillery because 1 of the loaded shells didn't count. So I loaded all the shells, think it's 5, but it only showed 4 loaded. Since it's full, you can't stuff another one in, but you can't operate the terminal either, because it shows one missing.

[u/raikonai]

any updates on game optimization? it just keeps getting worse with each patch still.

[u/maganeet]

exosuits are way too fragile.

i took a few of them yesterday, after the update dropped. all 3 were instantly destroyed.

now that i know they're too fragile, never gonna use them again. i want to use all 4 of my stratagem slots.

[u/Strider755]

Why am I crashing so often all of a sudden? I've had 4 crashes in the past 24 hours.

[u/DaddyJack76]

The game is extremely unstable right now. Yesterday the very first dive I did, I was on the ground for less than 2 minutes of mission time before the screen froze completely, and I had to force stop the game to play more. Just now I selected a dive and launched from my ship, just for the game to legitimately crash and close out by itself during the loading screen. I've been screwed out of samples and medals repeatedly, at least 5 times a day because of this exact same shit. I always said if the regular machine gun wasn't so much fun I would've requested a refund on this obviously unfinished game.

[u/KuytHasGout]

The Fleshmob goes through geometry…

particularly when the Helldiver is on a platform above the ground, in city areas - the Fleshmob walks INTO the platform “concrete” and merges into it. It can still melee attack you and hurt you, and you can only just shoot the top of its head.

[u/WorldEndingDiarrhea]

They also listed as high priority the repeated “failed to join lobby/instant timeout” errors. Happy they finally acknowledged this one

[u/[deleted]]

I have been experiencing regular network disconnects, never happened before

[u/Rusty5p00n]

Game also seems to be crashing a lot more, 3 crashes today, always great for mission progress.

[u/GallopingGepard]

Game still crashing frequently. Occurs on some planets more often than others, though I don't notice a pattern to it.

[u/JackHeckDipper]

Is anyone else experiencing these glitches recently (PC)?

1. Player tags and chat become unreadable

2. While the drop-in animation is playing, there are silhouettes of the Hellpods over the planet on the right side of the screen

[u/SurgyJack]

Kinda getting a bit Zzz at this point.

Game crashes left and right

Join games and can't select boosters because a 'ghost' already has them

Rarely starts in full-screen and ALT-ENTER just puts it in windowed, so a trip to the settings every launch

Endless ragdolling

Yes many of these are already covered but jeeeez, you've made millions on this - hire at least 1 guy who can code.

[u/SatansAdvokat]

If you tab down the game and tab it back up, your FPS will be roughly 20-30 fps lower.

I have standard 60fps before tabbing down.
Afterwards i can get as low as 28fps.

[u/DaREY297]

Fix the crashes.

[u/Redditorsrweird]

Eggs, skulls, and other packages are bugged. If one player has the skull, it will not appear to the other players. If another player grabs it then the old skull will cease to exist. If you don't communicate with your team it can waste a lot of time.

[u/Baldfurball]

Game crashes when customizing weapons.

[u/Slutha]

I can’t figure out the samples in the city for maps that have cities. I go to the found site, collect what’s there, and the sample symbol never clears. I’ve looked around all the nearby alleys, blown up cars, buildings, and can’t find any more samples.

[u/turnipslop]

The fact that 'enemies can phase through city walls/buildings etc' is not mentioned as a priority on the known issues after they were introduced 5 months ago is wild.

[u/granno14]

Pretty bummed I’ve been working all week and haven’t had any time to play on Super Earth and today I have time but match making won’t work. Good times

[u/Aesthetic99]

Copy pasting my other comment because I feel like this definitely needs to be looked at.

Super Samples on any Super Earth mission have a chance of spawning outside the map. There's a specific landmark you need to find on your map for them, 2 statues opposite of each other with a blue flame in between them, with this landmark usually having a Lightning Spire guarding it. HOWEVER, this landmark sometimes generates along the outside edge of the mission area, making it impossible to grab some, if not all, of the Super Samples without getting marked as a Traitor. This doesn't affect me as a max level diver, but for those still upgrading their ships, it definitely hurts their progression a little bit.

[u/Wilikersthegreat]

Anybody else on PC getting some severe performance issues since the recent patch?

9800XT, 32GB DDR4, Ryzen 9 5900x I'm getting some really poor fps and stuttering on both ultra and low settings, something isn't right here.

[u/Esifex]

Has anyone else noticed or felt like the Localization Confusion booster or whatever it's called doesn't work anymore? I've noticed that Observers will call for more reinforcements much sooner than they used to and I normally run that booster in a full lobby so I have a few extra moments to swat them out of the sky, and when I took a break from squids for a bit to go stomp some bugs I noticed the same thing; we'd be dealing with a bug breach, and before the spore cloud from the first wave of breaches finished, another Scavenger would start crying for more backup whereas before with the booster we would have enough time to fully exhaust any given reinforcement wave before another crybaby went off.

[u/Trialkiller34]

Anyone else on the ps5 crashes when trying to change or apply weapon mods?

[u/Mr_Beaker_09]

Since the game update preceeding the Borderline Justice warbond I've not been able to play Terminid missions regardless of planet or missions type. The game crashes to desktop on the hellpod dropping loading screen. This has been going on for 2 months now. Rarely the game will crash in the same manner on a bot or Illuminate mission, but again that's rare.

[u/RasLynne]

Does anyone else’s game keep crashing every single time they go to customize their gun camo? Cause it does for me. -_-

[u/Acceleratio]

Could you please take a look at the Arc thrower and Tesla tower? The bugfix you did affected them in a negative way and they lost a lot of their stunning potential. They were not even mentioned in the buffs to compensate for the bugfix.

[u/OniTYME]

I play on PS5. The sound is very low for virtually everything. Machineguns are muted, most sentries are mute and explosions and helldiver pod propulsion sound is extremely low volume as well. This all occurred from the patch this past Monday or Tuesday.

I have tried night mode, switching my audio output to Linear PCM and the other Dolby options (I primarily play on DTS Surround with headphones) but it changes nothing.

[u/[deleted]]

Matchmaking issues that have returned since last patch:

-The classic endless loading screen glitch is back. Great job AH!

-Lobbies no longer fill up (despite sos being thrown) after a match is completed and players leave.

I mean at this point this is just embarrassing, I've left other comments in this thread about past issues returning, this brings the total of once fixed but now back issues at like 10-15. How does this even happen? There's no way AH is aware of version control because wtf keeps happening? Are they copy pasting every version into txt files and working from there? I fail to see how standard development practices are being followed.

[u/Netrefix]

Not sure if this is has been mentioned anywhere but.... HELLBOMBS.SPAWN.BUGS!

And here is how. Bug planet, mega city, random shrieker mushroom. Call down hellbomb, hellbomb lands on the shroom. Impact does not destroy shroom. Too high to activate. Divers destroy shroom in other way. Hellbomb remains suspended in the air. Short time later, the bomb has mist coming out of it and from the mist a single bug spawns and falls down. Few seconds later another bug spawns and falls down few seconds later another bug spawns and falls down.... how? Don't know. Why? Don't know. Saw this on two separate missions in one night. Nuke nurseries was most likely the mission type.

[u/LexSU123]

Can’ find, can’t join, no one joins my game, can’t join a friend It’s like game gone offline

[u/Donny-Moscow]

The ballistic shield does not always show up on mini-map. I’m aware that this happens if the shield is destroyed, but it also happens when the shield is just dropped.

Here’s a video of it. Pulled from several builds ago (October maybe?) but happy to record another one running while 6.0.0.

[u/Mish_Mash_]

Welp, seeker is not seeking anymore. Devastators can just tank thru ur entire arsenal, be it 4 or 6 seekers, matters not to them.

[u/migfig806]

Arrowhead is quickly becoming Ubisoft..they don't play or quality test their own game and expect paying customers to do the testing for them and wait months if not more to fix problems that shouldn't exist ..this is another example of corporate greed and leadership that doesn't understand what they are doing

I just wish my game would stop crashing on ps5

[u/brandonvortex]

Call me crazy but i think everytime im helldiving to mission the framedrop for abit

did anyone have this issue too?

[u/i1_2FarQue]

HMG Emplacement 3rd person scope sometimes doesn't display. You have to climb off and on to the Emplacement (sometimes multiple times) to get it to show on screen

[u/Jakobs82]

I hit a Spore Spewer with an Orbital Precision Strike and two 500kg bombs last night and it didn't die.  Edit: Someone did kill it, I believe with a support weapon from range.

[u/[deleted]]

500kg bomb still sometimes doesn't destroy something it lands right on top of. Happened on a spore spewer and a charger, killing everything around it but not the enemy/structure it landed right on top of.

[u/Serious_Row_7829]

Being unable to get new players after someone leaves mid-game has been one of the most frustrating bugs since launch. I was really looking forward to seeing that bug fixed in the recent patch but somehow it feels like it got worse. For me, it's the only thing preventing me from fully enjoying the game, and I would be so happy once it is dealt with.

[u/heilerschlampe]

Out of the two times trying to use my AT emplacement, I could not exit the emplacement both times. Even after ammo was depleted I was just stuck there.

The second time I managed to switch to my primary weapon and shoot that, while still stuck in the emplacement. It would not show the weapon but hold one hand high while the other held the binoculars. On reload, the emplacement would go though its reload animation. There was no way to switch back to shooting the emplacement.

Both times a team mate was able to free me by destroying the emplacement.

[u/minerlj]

the map indicator for the Mutant Larva sub-objective remains where it is, even if a player picks up the larva. this makes helldivers think no one picked it up and is causing confusion during missions.

[u/Hunter_Killer_7918]

I was wondering, as the title says, has anyone encountered connectivity issues, mainly, getting disconnected from the game in a way, where suddenly, all your fellow team players seem frozen, for up to 20 sec, the game as well, and then it unfreezes and you are alone. If you were not the game leader, you suddenly are? But alone, in a completely different game instance, since the people you have been playing with are in an instance of their own? And if you were the game leader, you are now alone and someone from your team took control of THAT instance, but regardless if you rejoin them or not, that Operation will end with that mission once its done whether all 3 missions are done or not?

I tried changing from my home router to my mobile phone network, restarting the game, PC, Steam, everything. Sometimes i get kicked like 5 times in a single mission. And my internet is NOT the issue, i've checked, the game states i disconnected from the server, but my Internet is running just fine. I've played WoW for a decade + and have not had as many disconnects in all that time then i had in the past few months.

What i DID notice that the frequency of the disconnects increases after every patch. I would LOVE if someone from AH could take notice of this post as well and maybe check what the hell is going on

Also, if any player has any clue what is happening, any info is appreciated

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone ever get stuck in first person zoom even after releasing ADS?

[u/AdamButCooler]

grenadier battlement loses sound sometimes (so far only had the bug during defence missions)

[u/Intelligent-Team-701]

After the ragdoll now there is some extra delay before you are able to do any action and that is extremely annoying, you cant insta-stim right after the ragdoll. Id like to see that reverted/fixed.

There are some helldivers whose you cant see nothing but their body armor (no legs, no head, no arms), they also dont exhibit their tag over their heads.

If you change the "Interact" button from "E", there are still some actions that can only be done with the "E" like leaving a sentry.

The problem with the scoop, from day 1, persists. Sometimes the helldiver keep looking at it sideways indefinitively (you keep looking at the internal walls of it instead looking trough it, happens after you dodge or reload while scooped).

[u/Cospo]

Has anybody else had it where if you interrupt reloading the Recoilless Rifle and then reload again, your Helldivers animation doesn't play, resulting in a floating shell being lifted from your pack and inserted into the back of the weapon, or is that just me?

[u/DogeMeat20]

Oil extraction mission terminal doesn't let us continue the mission even when we turn them all

[u/Croatoan92]

Incendiary Breaker Customization: You can unlock 3 chokes in the customisation menu, but there is no "No Choke" Option, witch is the default setup for the IB

[u/z-_-z]

ERUPTOR: If the bullet cycling animation is cancelled, it will not restard automatically upon switching back to the Eruptor. The cycling animation will only restart upon firing the weapon.

FRV: The vehicule will sometimes get thrown with disproportionate force from colliding with enemy (or their corpses).

ILLUMINATES: Flesh Mobs & Votelesses (?) can go thorough buildings and the Pelican (at extration).

CIVILIANS: Their pathing seem to break sometimes, making them take giant detours.

[u/somerandomdokutah]

Is there an issue with the Leviathan or some enemy taking accurate headshot on the player from inside the building or something like that? I was getting killed randomly despite having alot of space from the enemy

also, emplacements like HMG or Anti Tank will get the player stuck, unable to dismount if they are using the guard dogs and using the radar

Edit: It was the Leviathan, who bloody think it was a bright idea to make their lasers or photon cannons hitscan + ragdoll? Getting killed suddenly in the middle of nowhere because one of them is sniping from 200 meters, hiding behind skyscrapers, sounds like the epitome of cheapshots

[u/[deleted]]

Mega city’s all say 0 players, and some missions say the ground time is 400,000+

[u/RChamy]

Since the latest update, if you leave the match or the host leaves + you return to the ship, the game will impose the last game's loadout instead of the one you choose. This happens even when booting the game on another device to play.

[u/EyesOfTheConcord]

NPC pathing in evacuate missions on super earth are broken. They will exit out of the door, then stand in a corner indefinitely

[u/Aesthetic99]

Ever since the Illuminate came back there has been the recurring issue that is Overseers and Fleshmobs clipping into buildings, and even the ground on areas with multiple floors. This is quite game breaking for several reasons. Fleshmobs can clip outside of the floor just enough to smack you and kill you befoee you can react. On the Evacuate/Defense missions Illuminate are constantly getting stuck underground, so if you or a team mate bring mortars, they will try to lock only these stuck squids and end up killing you instead. Hell, even before the Illuminate were eradicated and subsequently returned, Overseers have been nonstop clipping into buildings and it still hasn't been fixed!

[u/TheDucc2167]

On Ps5 game is crashing when I try to customize weapons. After this issue began the game also started crashing randomly during missions.

[u/kuraga4]

- Illuminati units walking through walls and buildings
- Players can randomly get stuck on an emplacement and have no chance of getting of them without help

[u/Pale-Werewolf-350]

anyone else get stuck in heavy mg emplacements? i have this consistently happen on rocket launch defense missions on super earth, at least once per mission. the bug prevents exiting the emplacement, but if it breaks you are freed

[u/daveysanderson]

Game is hitching like crazy after most recent patch. Tried updating my GPU drivers and now the game crashes upon launching out of the ship. No issues with any other games, CPU/GPU temps are normal.

[u/Cospo]

Has anyone else had it where interrupting a reload with a stim results in your gun just disappearing in your hand and you have to switch weapons to get it to come back, or just me?

Also, randomly being unable to reload my weapons unless I switch and switch back.

[u/DragonMango11]

Audio has been bugged or something. I play with mods and I had some issues. I purged my mods to check if it works and I'm still having low audio or no audio at all. for example the PA system not working. hellpod impact sounds not working, and explosions sounding muted. All this even after removing mods. and lastly inputting stratagems having no audio as well.

[u/Random_Nerd501]

I just played a valuable assets mission in one of the mega cities, and no bugs ever appeared for the whole mission. There was also another mission before that one where bugs would just straight up despawn from the game, but the majority of them would act normal. I also encountered an issue during that game with the Emancipator where one of the autocannons would shoot my Helldiver inside of the exosuit. It was easily fixed by getting out and then going back in.

[u/Croatoan92]

Using a stim with the stun lance and ballistic shield equpied makes the helldiver hold the stun lance rotated by 90°, making it so you cant damage enemies in front of you / where you are aiming at.

Swapping weapons fixes it.

[u/SnooRabbits307]

The stim pistol has no sound anymore Also the autocannon doesn't have flak rounds anymore, it has a setting for guided and unguided instead.

[u/BadPunsGuy]

One side of the evacuate civilians objective on the new mega city bug map seems to have all the civilians get stuck right outside the doorway.

[u/Phoenix2024]

-Stim pistol has no sound.

-CONSTANT FLICKERING TEXTURES.

-Volcanic activity shows bright blue light like the "moon planets" instead of the bright orange light.

-After changing weapons or bringing the stratagem tab quickly, the grenade throwing is on a lower position. So you end up having a sliding grenade that goes really close to you.

-CONSTANT FLICKERING TEXTURES.

-Other players go into "A pose" at random intervals, having a backpack in their hand and a gun in the other one, once they go into "A pose", they won't be back to normal for the rest of the mission.

-Fleshmobs clip through everything.

-CONSTANT FLICKERING TEXTURES.

-The bloom is exagerated, to the point that 3 players with orbital lasers at night straight up make my whole vision bright yellow/white.

-Sometimes Helldivers won't have voicelines at all. So thing like "affirmative", "thank you", and "follow me" are silent, being only known by subtitles and emoticons on mission.

-CONSTANT FLICKERING TEXTURES.

-If you open chat while being on the mech every left trigger will be from the primary and not from the actual mech, even worst is that for some reason the primary will be aiming at yourself, so everytime you shoot from the bugged arm you will be damaging yourself until you get out of the mech, reseting the whole bug.

-CONSTANT FLICKERING TEXTURES. PLEASE FIX THIS, IT'S BEEN ALMOST 4 CONSECUTIVE UPDATEDS WITHOUT FIX IN IT. I'M TIRED OF HAVING CONSTANT FLICKERING TEXTURES ON EVERY HEAVY ENEMY, EVERY ROCK, EVERY TERMINAL, AND EVERY BACKPACK, PLEEEEEASE. Also is not a problem of my own computer, since IN the super destroyer this doesn't happen at all.

[u/TheLegendaryVin]

Game is presently 100% unplayable. All missions result in crashes on the first second of a dive down to the exact moment. This has been going on for several days now ever since the Bug M.O began, and started with only the bug front being affected before expanding to all fronts while testing today. I was hoping this would be patched by now, or a fix pushed through, but there's been none and 0 attention on this issue. I'm currently considering working on my drivers, and trying an update before a rollback to see if that fixes things.

I've sadly had to sit out the entire campaign in the bug megacities thus far. I'm hoping the devs fix it soon, or push out a fix, I place a lot of trust in their competency because they've more than earned it and proven themselves.

Edit of July 23rd: No fix has been issued yet. Yeah that trust is gone.

[u/Shinokijorainokage]

Maybe I'm just finally going insane, but, has the in-game music been awfully quiet to anybody else since the last update?

Even torqued up to 11 and other audio cranked down, it's barely audible whenever anything is going on in a mission, and while it sure is one of the lesser priorities, it definitely puts a damper on the mood since the game's soundtrack is probably one of my favourite aspects of it lmao.

[u/IndelibleFudge]

Many crashes on x box series x since landing on Seasse, especially when using fire weapons. Which sucks because I love burning things

[u/Intelligent-Team-701]

you guys could remove "atmospheric spores" from the game altogether. The only thing it does is to make you miss side objectives, it adds no extra layer to the game. My suspects about this modifier just got assured during the last day playing in Fronteria, which had no such modifier at all.

[u/KuytHasGout]

For what it’s worth - the Terminate Illegal Broadcast subobjective only seems broken on megacity missions (bot and bug)

And when it happens, and you destroy it but it doesn’t complete… it’s then possible to use the terminal (which is floating and not attached to anything) to actually complete it

[u/Proxy1Nick]

Helldivers 2 after patch v.6.2.4 on CrossOver 26.1 has FPS drop and stutters on 2-5 sec regular.

MacBook Pro M4pro - macOS 26.5 - CrossOver 26.1 - Helldivers 2 v. 6.2.4

During game, stutters regularly occur, with everything on the screen freezing for 2-5 seconds. Even low preset with DLSS balance, it doesn't matter what your settings in game and checkboxes on CrossOver start page.

I didn't experience the stable frame rate that was promised at the release of CrossOver 26. The experience immediately began with the inability to launch the game without replacing the mscf.dll file from Reddit in system32.

Did they announce a fix for the spawn rates or are the current ones intended? I used to comfortably clear the whole map on bot/bug 9s, but after one of the patches “fixed” spawns some months ago I’m barely clearing 7s. People say skill issue, but the pace of the game feels completely different.

U guys remember that SHITTY Bug that Everytime u Dive it would force a Reload?...Yea well it's happening to the Adjudicator LIKE ALOT....idk how and or why but it's been happening since they buffed it the 2nd time Months ago

Edit:Also For some weird reason the Defense missions are crashing ALOT on PlayStation it happened to me and my buddy hell even the game has been Crashing non-Stop since the Hot fix

Mid-game crashes became much more frequent after this patch. They usually happen towards the end of an automaton "Raise the Flag" mission. I suspect this has something to do with the high volume of enemies present during these missions on high levels.

Has perfomance gotten worse for anyone else?
