I don't think it's a traffic surge issue. The disconnects, crashes and getting stuck in some screens have been issues since launch. Some of them got fixed, but they seem to keep returning every update. Especially the crashes often seem related to specific weapons or actions. Like previously it was the Arc weapons that had high risk of crashes, at some point even throwing snowballs was advised against because it would often introduce crashes.

Bitch please, ya'll made my livelihood dependable on your products for decades and now the consumer is the problem?!

Sadly too true. Just tried a quick round, ended up getting stuck in the debrief screen where the ship is supposed to fly to the cruiser and had to Alt F4 out of the game. These kind of issues get quite tiresome.

Tried some more and sadly had a bunch of people crashed in my lobby a couple of times, and I crashed one game too. Later I started the game and I got logged out "due to inactivity" while on my ship for barely 30 seconds checking out a few items lmao

It's so annoying how bigs repeatedly happen, including stuff that's been fixed before, after every game update.

I think it was a weak spot, just even weaker now lol

People celebrating and encouraging this shit are disgusting human beings.

Possibly worth checking back in, but frankly I think I'll still rather wait until they drop new content like the Illuminate.

Also wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of new issues will pop up now, as is tradition with Helldivers game updates.

Lol, could've been some wild fan theory. I guess it's just a weird scene at the end of TROS that feels like they could've left out.

Well yeah today you learned because today it was added lol

That's the first time I'm hearing about it. I guess this was in some visual dictionary, behind the scenes or a novel then?

I thought the Lando movie would involve old Lando (Billy Dee) after TROS, since they heavily implied at the end of TROS that he and the black girl (can't remember her name at all) were going to look for something.

But I'm good with Glover playing another major Lando role, he absolutely nailed it in Solo.

Not sure why companies try to push mobile games like that so fucking hard. Just because everyone has a phone doesn't mean everyone wants to play games on them.

Also doesn't help that practically all mobile games like that are created with the intention to focus on microtransactions and grindy paywalled and timegated content.

Can't say anything of value was lost with sacking studios/devs for this kind of crap. It would only be better if it were the higher-ups coming up with this garbage for once.

They also deleted all my progress at some point because apparently I forgot to do some kind of transfer back when they merged with Blizzard or something. Maybe that's partially my fault but I could never recall that I was informed to do so, and I hadn't played in a long time.

I tried to get back into the game a while ago, but the story is such an incredible mess and hardly makes any sense being thrown from one place to another with very little information, as a new or returning player you'd have no clue where to go and what to do and what is actual new and relevant content and not. It's incredibly difficult to get a grasp of the game if you haven't been keeping up.

 

Figured instead of doing daily shots I'll just dump a load of screens in an album in no particular order. Some shots might've been posted here before.

Be warned though, there are (minor) spoilers in some of them.

All screenshots are taken with the in-game photo tool on PC and unedited.

I can't stop playing Sabacc, it's so addictive that I've gambled all my money away on several occasions. It's not been often I get so invested in a mini-game.

So figured I'd add some content to this sub, and what better to start off from the very beginning of the game, a close-up of our main girl, Kay Vess.

I was worried about visual details, after hearing and seeing some pre-release content. But damn, the detail quality is just insane!
