If you're experiencing frequent crashes on PC, try deleting your shader cache and relaunching the game. On Windows the shader cache file is
%appdata%\Arrowhead\Helldivers2\shader_cache\pipeline_library.cache. You'll notice some stuttering after the shader cache is deleted, particularly during the hellpod drop scene. That's shaders recompiling in the background, it should stop after a few games. I had one CTD when the Arc weapon bug was first introduced, deleted my shader cache file and have had zero CTDs across many games since then.Edit: This is with an RTX 3080 and Ryzen 7 5700X on a B450 mobo, with Nvidia v551.86 drivers installed. YMMV depending on your rig.
If you're experiencing frequent crashes on PS5... Condolences, I guess? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Another tip for PC players having issues with crashing: try verifying the game's files in Steam. I was crashing once every couple of hours, but other than that the game ran fine. I ran the verify process, Steam found 2 files that needed replacing, and since then my crash frequency has halved.
