A crashing problem is interrupting the gameplay of many Helldivers 2 players. It’s a good thing there are some simple solutions available. The good people at ONE Esports found some fixes that should get your game up and running smooth again in no time.
First, check that your graphics card drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause all sorts of issues with new games. Go to your graphics card maker’s website (Nvidia or AMD) and download the latest version – it only takes a few minutes.
Next, turn off Steam Input. Some players reported the game crashing on Steam, and this fixed it for them. Right click Helldivers 2 in your library, go to Properties, Controller Settings, and choose “Disable Steam Input” from the dropdown menu.
Are you crashing when picking a planet? That was happening to folks after a recent update, but don’t panic – try restarting the game after logging out and back into Steam. You can also turn off crossplay in the game settings as a test. And if it keeps crashing, the good news is the developers are working on a patch already.
Finally, make sure your graphics drivers and game are up to date. Out of date files can cause crashes, so keeping everything current will help avoid problems. With any luck, these quick fixes will have you back to blowing up bugs in no time! Let me know if you have any other issues.
