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.
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.
