Sounding like the new patch is pretty buggy. I tried to play a game on level 7 difficulty and got a hard crash. We were trying to do the ore extraction mission on Tibit, the drop ships were insane, totally outnumbered until my game crashed. We’ll see what tomorrow brings, but we might be back to some peak time crashing on the servers. Hopefully a quick patch might happen in the morning.

I crashed 5 seconds into my first game and then at the drop screen on the second. I verified the files in steam and played for two hours with no issues. I have no idea if it’s just a coincidence but I thought I’d share for the sake of discussion.

What's weird was I was watching Thor play helldivers and he was crashing a lot. He validated his game files on steam and 1 file failed to validate and was redownloaded. Today I crashed once and decided to validate as well and again, 1 file failed to validate. I think there's a pattern there.

I also had 1 file that failed to validate but I haven't had a chance to play yet to see if it fixed things.

There's been a patch issued that might address this.

Hoping it plays ok later today (5pm ET), the patch notes call out the Acquisitions menu as the cause, that wasn’t the case for me. Feels like when too many enemies dropped in, divers start dropping one by one.

Perhaps it's frustrating for those having issues to hear, but I ran two missions last night without issue. Hopefully it gets fixed for y'all soon and we can keep fighting the good fight.

I crashed while extracting level 7, ran multiple level 4/5s without problem.

My hypothesis is that since EATs are free, the map is getting clogged with too many of them at higher level gameplay. Low level gameplay features like 1-2 hulks you need to call EATs for.

THIS 👆🏻 I just played a Medium, no issues, a bit of EAT spamming. Last night, EAT all over the shot and an abundance of enemies. I suspect at higher difficulty the game is struggling. Gonna stick to mid difficulty for a bit.

Similar here. The most issues I've had were yesterday. Almost unplayable. :(

No crashes for me, but my framerate was crap and it felt like there was a slight delay. Maybe there was no delay and it was just the framerate tricking my brain, but something was definitely off. Not unplayable, but definitely not an improvement for me.
