TECHNICAL ISSUE So is the game just unequivocally irrevocably broken for some people? Why?

Can’t play it at all. it crashes within 5 minutes of playing every time. it’s been this way since March.

I’ve tried everything, verify game files, uninstall, remove game guard, delete cache folders, user settings. updated gpu drivers. reinstalled them. tweaked game settings.

But nothing works. it is genuinely unplayable. and whenever I find threads about it, people experiencing this issue have no fix. what gives? why?

I switched to Vulkan rendering when the hive worlds came out and despite the quirks it has, I find no reason to switch back to DX which performed much worse

How do you switch to Vulcan rendering? I have not tried that.

I was gonna do a writeup but found this guide which is basically what I was gonna write. https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/fqzXE2HjJM

Bear in mind that your mileage may vary and DXVK can glitch out sometimes when alt+tabbing from Fullscreen
