Last time I played, previous weekend, I couldn't not invite a steam pal to join my party or friend list. And vice-versa.

I had also another PS5 friend trying to invite the steam player and it also didn't work. Went to reddit boards and seems there are a ton of issues about this.

I'm surprised you didn't had any issues so far to be honest.

Weird. I'm on steam and both my friends were on PS5, we've been playing 2 times a week mostly with a break here and there and managed to join each other without any issues.
Even when the matchmaking was shit, we were able to join each other.

I might be an exception in this case.

You definitely are.

 

[GymWolf]

Btw, now that they nerfed the health of the charger, you can kill them with 5 shots of arc thrower to the head, they go down so fast now.

I love the spear missile launcher, but I wish the targeting system was more comprehensible / solid. Sometimes the launcher just does not want to target the enemies and can be frustrating.

Lock on is fucked, i have no idea why they didn't fixed it yet.

 

[Schmendrick]

Time to park this game, it`s just frustrating now.

Parked it for a week, came back to check the new warbond and Mechs and tried to play 4 games:

1st game. Crash to desktop ~25 mins in
2nd game. Disconnect ~20 mins in.
3rd game. Made it to the evacuation....Boarding bugged out so we all had to abandon the mission.
4th game. Crash to desktop right before evac.

And the physics seemt to have jumped off a cliff for me or they fucked up the new mission maps, because the amount of getting stuck in geometry, getting catapulted half across the map when being barely touched or simply falling through ramps (the termicide activation mission) or even below the map floor happened often within these 4 games.

This game has essentially become unplayable for me since the patch with the balancing changes. So I guess this is it, time to look for a new game.

 

[Evolved1]

Nonsense.

I play higher difficulties on PS Portal even and it's the opposite of a slide show.

Nonsense? Are you blind?

 

[Embearded]

I've also played some hours on Portal, no problem at all but didn't go higher than 6 difficulty.

 

[Spyxos]

I don't like the fact that you can only get the new weapons through the new battle pass.

God damn that's rough. I've had the game crash on me quite a few times but nothing like that.

This game as awesome as it is really launched in a piss poor state.

 

[Schmendrick]

This game as awesome as it is really launched in a piss poor state.

Actually the state it launched in was better (for me) than it is now or I certainly wouldn`t have racked up 80+ hours.
The actual in game bugs like the evacuation vehicle boarding not working, the animation freezes in certain situations, the falling through the geometry/below the map and the very frequent crashes to the desktop all just started happening with the balancing patch for me.
Before that it was "just" server load issues.

 

[FoxMcChief]

It crazy. This might be the absolute best, and most bugged game that I have ever played.

 

[Raven117]

Buy better weapons with warbonds. There is a different currency for strategems. It is the R thing you get. Strategems are also bought at a different control panel. Not sure all ships have the same layout.

Edit: Just looked it up. R is for Requisitions. See the 5380 number below?

Thank you! It’s under ship management.

But all weapons are to be purchased on the warbonds page?

 

[John Bilbo]

Thank you! It’s under ship management.

Primary and secondary weapons including grenades are as warbonds. There are also 10 different more powerful weapons as stratagems.

 

[mckmas8808]

just had two matches in a row, game crashed to dash, the other had a never ending load screen.

How can a game that is so much fun to play, be so fucking poorly optimized.

I know all GAAS games need to be released on multiple devices, but this is one of my top reasons as to why I don't want Sony's SP games to be released on PC and PS5 day one.

 

[RyanEvans21]

I don't like the fact that you can only get the new weapons through the new battle pass.

You can earn supercredit by just playing the game (It's my second battle pass without buying credits).

 

[Spyxos]

Yeah i know. I am lvl 41 and bought the first one with ingame credits, but I don't even have nearly enough for the new pass. And as much as I've been playing Helldivers lately, I don't think I'll be playing it so much every season in the future. So I would probably have to spend money on the pass every season.

 

[Topher]

Your primary and secondary weapons, yes. You can also have a weapon as a strategem and call it down when you need it.

Got it. Thank you my fellow Divers.

 

[akaFullmetal]

Having a blast with the game and have earned enough super credits to get the battle pass at no cost.
There are some disconnected and bugs but the dev seemed to be working diligently on those.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Don’t you love it when you throw down a support item/weapon and a teammate steals it.

 

[The Stig]

man, im sorry so many people are having so many issues.

im on steam and my only issue is failing to join games, i usually get in a game within a minute or 2.

FOR LIBERTY

 

[John Bilbo]

Yes. For those situations the hug emoji was developed.

 

[GymWolf]

The biggest bugs i'm having right now are the usual crash to desktop, the drawning that doesn't kill you so you can't be revived and the annoying one when you grab the sssd but then you leave it on the ground because you have to shoot and my character remain into a pose where he look like he is hugging an imaginary huge dick.

 

[Varteras]

they go down so fast now.

 

[John Bilbo]

Currently my game does not crash until after longer sessions I quit the game. Then the game becomes unresponsive and it is impossible to quit. I had to log out / reset the computer for the game to shut down.

One time after such an event my Steam got somehow screwed over and forgot where my games were located in the different hard drives. I had to go into the Steam settings and re enter the information manually. Never seen anything like that before.

Edit: And this of course means that the bugs are evolving. We have to act quickly! For democracy!

 

[The Stig]

WOAH.

How is this triggered?

 

[GymWolf]

WOAH.

How is this triggered?

From what i heard, the automatons are basically farmers and lumberjacks if they are the same faction of the first game.

Super earth is clearly the villain here.

 

[Varteras]

WOAH.

How is this triggered?

I have no idea. I'm still trying to figure out if it's legit.

And yes. We are definitely the bad guys. I took a peak into the backstory of the game. Holy shit. Lol we're the reason everything is going wrong in the galaxy.

Made my buddy happy. "Finally! Representation for people like me"!

The message is beyond cool, you feel sad for the bots.

I mean, on super earth you have to sign a module every time you have sex, it makes look china like fucking wonderland.

[SCB3]

I find myself buying the new passes even though I’ve still not finished the free one! Still a nice new Laser rifle to use!

I did have an epic revenge finish on a troll earlier, as we were about to extract he pushed me off a cliff and killed me, someone rezzed me though and I waited on the ramp of the shuttle, as he went to extract I punched that motherfucker right into a path of a charging charger and he went flying!

Cue some kid screaming over the mic that I fucked him over

 

[Mortisfacio]

Finally got around to playing last night. Had twice it bugged out on extraction and wouldn't let us extract. Ship came down, but no way to board it so failed the missions. Otherwise enjoyed my time so far.

 

[GymWolf]

I can't get behind how cool that message is, please be real.

 

[panda-zebra]

Warbonds coming every month practically guarantees the new stuff isn't going to be game-changing, just gonna be mediocre alternatives nothing that changes things up in fun ways - kinda boring IMO.

Enjoyed the game while levelling up, unlocking difficulties and earning ship upgrades that meaningfully changed the experience and gave opportunities to experiment and learn, but 3 pages of stuff to buy with medals and everything being a bit meh isn't going to make me want to play and keep playing. Some of the stuff they've added recently has made the game worse - boring new mission, fire and meteor storms that look cool and cinematic yet only frustrate, a mech that was fun for an hour then not. I'll go back when there's new factions and new stuff to grind for that not just 3 pages of bland gear bought with medals. IMO they should have had different ship options that allowed different stratagem possibilities and a way to grind for them that gave a reason to continue playing.

Yeah i know. I am lvl 41 and bought the first one with ingame credits, but I don't even have nearly enough for the new pass. And as much as I've been playing Helldivers lately, I don't think I'll be playing it so much every season in the future. So I would probably have to spend money on the pass every season.

There's a lot of credits in the default pass (700?) but not half that in the premium ones, so that first "free" one is always going to be easier for anyone to get. Once they've got people into the routine they'll be needing to spend probably every other month to keep up.

It’s the best, imo.

[FoxMcChief]

I like to use the LAS-16 Sickle and Laser Canon combination. As soon as one gets too hot, I swap to the other. Infinite ammo.

 

[salva]

So I grabbed this on PC and a mate of mine on PS5.
TIL the friend request is broken, we can't even add each other. WTF is this shit and how is it not addressed, fuck I hate MP games and already regret my purchase.

 

[stickkidsam]

I hope they bring back the player numbers and stats soon. That shit is just fun to see on the galactic map. Though you can still see the players on each sector at least:

You would have succeeded the mission here. Only thing lost would have been samples (and like 10% of the total XP).

The mission doesnt care if you extract or not. Youre disposable.

Yah the samples drop and you lose bonuses, so "technically" not a total waste of time, but seems like a big enough bug the devs should fix it. I experienced it twice in my first session of playing the game, over a month after the release, so would assume this bug isn't uncommon.

 

[stickkidsam]

I’m not sure who spilled coffee on the servers but something has changed with the game. Even when it was busted I had almost no issues, save for the occasional crash.

Recently though I’m just getting so many small bugs. Physics are weird, the SFX/music are mixed badly, I’m rag dolling because I stepped on a pebble, and every time I boot the game up I have to reset my loadouts and character. Oh and those tutorial pop ups just keep on coming too lol

I love this game and it’s still playable, but I may take a break until Super Earth calls in an exterminator.

 

[FoxMcChief]

This game might have some of the best rumbling and trigger feelings on the PS5. Don’t get talked about enough. I usually think they’re both crap. Not with this gem.

 

[gatti-man]

Parked it for a week, came back to check the new warbond and Mechs and tried to play 4 games:

1st game. Crash to desktop ~25 mins in
2nd game. Disconnect ~20 mins in.
3rd game. Made it to the evacuation....Boarding bugged out so we all had to abandon the mission.
4th game. Crash to desktop right before evac.

And the physics seemt to have jumped off a cliff for me or they fucked up the new mission maps, because the amount of getting stuck in geometry, getting catapulted half across the map when being barely touched or simply falling through ramps (the termicide activation mission) or even below the map floor happened often within these 4 games.

This game has essentially become unplayable for me since the patch with the balancing changes. So I guess this is it, time to look for a new game.

This is not normal. Not saying the game is perfect but I know tons of people that having it this bad.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

we need 120fps for this game

 

[yet_another_alt]

Stun grenades are so good. Easily my favorite thing in the warbond.

we need 120fps for this game

My CPU reaches 90+ degrees if I run at 120 FPS so I cap it at 80 FPS.

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

My UI tips are glitched and every time I do anything the tip for said thing pops up.

It’s horrible, please help. Couldn’t find anything in the options.
