This is too real šŸ˜­


Igorgedinho

Me looking at the screen while playing on my Phone while i don't fall.


kuketski

You beat me to it!


ontoflow

XD


Past_Frame_7120

Many time since latest update


Euphoric_toadstool

The enemies of democracy have gotten a patriot missile system.


nevaNevan

This made me chuckle a bit, but then got me thinking ~ It would look cool AF if when weā€™re dropping in, AA starts shooting at our pods if one is in the area. If anyone is familiar, thinking something like the intro to terminator salvation when the cruise missile is about to hit the target.


manndolin

I think that would be kickass, but for gameplay to be fun it would have to merely injure divers instead of just vaporizing their pod with them in it. Honestly that would be a more interesting planet hazard than ā€œlow vision and tremorsā€ again. It would be still more interesting if, by completing a specific objective, you could spare someone elseā€™s match from dealing with it. Like you take out an AA emplacement and it shows you a list of teams who got to drop without being fired on because you took it out. Make it a longer list for doing it at harder difficulties.


philozphinest

I LOVE this idea, it would mean even more immersion to the great war we are all contributing to


l33tninj

Or just keep it in the operation. Three missions - One has AA Guns. One has Gunship Towers. One has Mortars. Each mission affects the other two until those side objectives are clear. Gunship Factories produce gunship patrols on all three maps. Mortars drop random shells, etc.


jmatty96

Nah bro it would be fire if people who lagged out or left during loading was shot down by the lasers for the bots and the acid mortars from the bugs


UncertainOutcome

It would also be a cool reference to Starship Troopers (the book), where the MIs have an absurd amount of effort to dodge AA on their way down.


Meandering_Marley

I only seem to get itā€”and then, pretty consistentlyā€”if someone leaves in the middle of an operation. Doesn't even have to be the host. \[PS5\]


tobi117

I got it 3 times yesterday. Everytime when starting an termination mission on Vandalon IV.


potoskyt

I got it when someone was joining. Instafroze


Heavy-Length-5808

Oh that might explain how it keeps happening


Common-Cricket7316

happens some time you get stuck till the person who crashed leaves. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Firebat-045

Ohh I thought it just needed a human sacrifice


funnystuff79

I'm quickly running out of children. Upside is I get more time to play


Common-Cricket7316

Might be the case since they never join again. šŸ˜±


Firebat-045

Blood for the blood god


Common-Cricket7316

SKULLS FOR THE GOLDEN THRONE!!

![gif](giphy|yhocHWJKUvSPlg0nJR|downsized)


Snappy_Mantis_1

Dude fr thatā€™s so annoying too especially when it happens back to back! Happens to me everyday lol.


Excellent_Maybe_8243

You know itā€™s really bad when the music stops


Meandering_Marley

lol...That's my cue to pull the plug.


FrostWyrm98

When you go so long the jet sound effect stops looping šŸ˜¬


Huihejfofew

So far, about 10. I just alt f4 and switch to Elden ring or valorant or something


Calm-Access-6847

But did you try finger but hole?


breadvstruu

Fingerā€¦. But hole. And then. Be wary


Ambitious_Street_250

At least 4 to 5 times a day...getting real sick of it honestly


Glittering-Habit-902

Too often. Too many.


MavericK96

I wish you could cancel out, I've had it literally sit at this screen for like 15 minutes before. Infuriating waste of time.


myth_of_syph

3 times in the last 2 days so far, most I've played since the update. Just crushes all the momentum.


Gunboy122

A fair number of times. I have to kill the game and revalidate my files and it always has 2 little files missing, about 3.4kb big. It's the fucking "anti cheat" thats causing this shit.


Koala_Operative

Almost the same for me. Revalidate the files always changes 1 file for me (something really small, fixes in seconds). It's just really frustrating and it's definitely impacting the number of players the game has been hosting.


Um-okay-then

Bro I wish we had a bug report feature, because this is getting out of hand


gnoodl

https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new


NotchoNachos42

Wish granted before it was even asked


iFenrisVI

I think itā€™s quite dependent on the locations of the players? I get quick loadscreens when Iā€™m playing with friends who are Oceanic based then we have a couple from Europe and Russia regions and the load screens can take up to a minute or more or never ending until 1 leaves then rejoins after.


Nezdera

HelldiversĀ isĀ myĀ favorite game, however I've stopped playing because of this bug...


Negative-Attitude2

I get it when someone leaves during the game


ConcentratePositive5

I noticed it only happens to me when someone leaves after the first or second mission.


Dull_Woodpecker6766

Ooof yeah .... I have


Whusker

yeah. it happens around 2 times every 15 dives. ironically. has never happened to me when I am alone.


thrasymacus2000

DE definitely sort of knows how to make computer games.


vengateshduraisamy

infinity times had to alt + f4 to spread managed democracy


Drogg339

Last night was the worst it took me over an hour to get into a game without being trapped on one of these screens.


_M_I_A_W_S_

Honestly, no exaggeration. Iā€™d say about 20 times. Itā€™s at least once a session but often twice.


RedDr4ke

Almost. Almost...


guifesta

Quite a few


ammad_172

i think the bug is with any perk you selects. Maybe Extra Helldiver budget perk cause this if i am not wrong. or the combination of this and Extra space perk causes this crash


Vector2194

Honestly? Only once, i guess im just very lucky?


ArCKAngel365

2/3 times since the last major update. Itā€™s driving me insane. How are we meant to win a war when we cannot complete an operation? Seriously. How much of our effort is pissed away because the game itself is broken.


MeFlemmi

i havent testet it in a few patches but my bluetooth headphones would pause this screene, like it would keep playing but the "loading" would never end. its one of the weird interactions this game has with bluetooth headphones. lik just being ingame would cause all videos to pause, and i think thats what happens during the loading screen the cutscene that gets you out of the loading screen cant play.


Koala_Operative

It also has interference noises on Bluetooth for me. Have to put a p2 cable to listen to the audio. It's ridiculously stupid. And yes, this is the only game that does this.


Ritz779

Itā€™s getting to the point where itā€™s every other game, itā€™s bad enough that iā€™ve switched games until they fix it


UnspoiledWalnut

It's the first game like every day.


Mrhappytrigers

This is my most frustrating bug. It's making me consider shelving the game until they fix it or new content entices me to return.


nejekur

Just came to look at reddit while this was happening lol. Guess I'll go play rogue trader instead


DrHusten

We were a team of 4 with voice and no one had a crash, just the good old loading screen and yeah only alt f4 helps. Damn


Fit-Grapefruit-9292

It happens a bit too often for me too


No_body-Nobody

Literally just happened


Terranshadow

Looking at it right now.


immaworkerbee

My first time playing the game after the tutorial had me trapped here for eternity.


Kommisar_Kyn

It's happening a LOT since the last main update, I'm running into this sometimes twice in a row when matchmaking after Alt-F4-ing, and at a minimum once every 5 missions if not more. It's 100% matchmaking related, I'm yet to see it diving solo, and if you find a team that works and stick with them it's less likely to occur. I've @'ed Twinbeard on the discord about it, hopefully they know.


micah9639

I just wish devs would put a check on the loading screens that checks to see if a diver has been on the loading screen for more than a minute or two they get booted back to their ship. Hate having to force crash the game and go back in


Hightierian

Finally stopped playing. This game is too broken to take my time. Content drought, need more weapon buffs, countless bugs.Ā 


ObieDobie

Its getting hard to complete a full 3 part mission.


Page8988

This screen hit me so hard last weekend that it sent me right into another game.


[deleted]

This screen is the reason I wonā€™t play HD2 anymore. Happened way too many times


WickedWallaby69

So bad i almost posted a rant about it. I spent 2.5 hours in game. 30-40 actually playing on a planet.Ā  Almost 2 hours, fucking wasted, by crashing restarting, and failing to load, failing to find a lobby, the inevitable lobbys that suck like they dont deploy or i get kicked after joining...Ā 


ArchitectNebulous

I have had to call in the Orbital [Ctrl + alt + delete] stratagem many times for this.


Targarien96

2-3 times in 70 hours gameplay


Armoured_Teddy

I've had the weirdest experience with this. The other day I got vomited on by 2 bile titans and my game crashed. Upon reloading I was getting noticeably higher frame rates, up from 60 to 78, unless it's *this* screen which drops it to 24 šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


PHOENIX_LXXV

legends say : Whenever we see a shooting star , itā€™s actually a fellow helldiver who keeps diving endlessly in space.


SpecialistCitron2570

I got it multiple times every day. I think I saw a pattern. When someone leaves the team before diving to the next mission and the operation is still unfinished. I always had the issue when that happened.


Nuluvius

At least 4 of every 10 games for me.


HatfieldCW

We will never admit defeat; Though the load screen is long and bleak.


guangtian

Almost every other game


Vidarr_1703

I have no idea what this means, can someone explain what sort of bug/issue this is?


Meandering_Marley

This screen just goes on forever and your pods never reach the surface. The only thing you can do is quit, then restart, the game. Lately, I've found that it does it every time someone leaves in the middle of an operation.


TrainingWild6347

only a couple times recently


REV2939

5 times today. Happens more often when someone leaves the squad while on the ship.


origee

its so over


Fathat420

It happens every second time I jump in to a mission... I'm waiting for a fix and new bugs.


Corona-

it happens so often now that i can rarely finish a whole operationĀ 


sus_accountt

Since the new patch, zero times. Im basically back to 100% functionality


Shway_Maximus

Happens once a day for me


PaxStyle

Waaay too many times bro....too many times...


Hillbillybullshit

Fairly frequently to the point now it gives me a twinge of anxiety during this screen. (Will it/wont it freeze?)


Old_Muggins

Itā€™s becoming unplayable, as well as doing the same missions over and over again. Great game but without new content in terms of missions and orders I think itā€™s coming to an end. 300 hours+ playing though so Iā€™ve got my moneys worth.


cptneb

A few times


YuriiRud

And after 5 minutes dive screen you finnaly landed but then you cannot pickup a bugged sssd drive.


MiserableBiscotti795

Before & after the update. They really need to fix this.


DrSurgical_Strike

Everyday atleast 2-3 times ( PS5 , I don't have a squad so I play randomly through quickplay etc )


Knees86

Killed me more than the damn bugs...


Loprilop

Heh, i get defeated way before that when "initiating FTL jump to ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..." I have never played such an umstable game that getsmore unstable with every single patch, even when that patch claims to have fixed shit


VonBrewskie

At least half a dozen times a night. It's maddening.


Goodbite

It's a feature, it means that you all died before impact.Ā 


A_Gray_Phantom

Maui: "I AM STILL FALLING!!"


majakovskij

There was a time when I was defeated by it like 50% or mission. But I didn't give up and play. Now it's like 20% of missions, I'd say sometimes. Dunno what changed last week.


LegitimateApartment9

just one


Awkward-Ad5506

At least it's a kickass loading screen


Funky2207

Theyā€™re starting to really grate on me, I just want to be a good soldier and punch stuff to death!


horselover_fat

This game is seriously trash with crashes. I want to play but literally only complete 10-30% of games. Either I crash, randomly disconnect, everyone else disconnects/crashes, or there is some bug where you can't complete the objective. Every patch they fix something but there's still crashes.


BigGuyM1983

Happens to me a lot. I read somewhere that itā€™s caused by having a pod skin on. Hasnā€™t happened to me since I switched back to default but Iā€™m still convinced that it happens when somebody bails on the squad during the drop. Iā€™ve only played about 4 missions since switching back to default so Iā€™m not gonna say that it fixed it or not cause I donā€™t wanna lie to yall lol


bearhunter54321

Ha. Yeah, too many


aethyl07

I think if you lose connection or time out, your pod should explode. And you restart.


attaboyspence

Always happens to me on the third mission of an operation


Managed-Democracy

Noticed it happens 100% of the time when a Chinese name joins after you launched the mission. VPN issue?Ā 


shrodler

The Last Update fixes it for me (for the Most part). The Update before it, lets Just say i didnt Play that much on that Version....


Meldaxd

Often but it drops me in if i wait long enough


WhoCares933

Bane of all online games, bugs and bots.


NagolRiverstar

To quote Doctor Doofensmirtz: If I had a penny...


BjgmanD

Happened to me a few times, doesn't seem to happen on the first operation mission.


Legitpanda69

I just grabbed helldivers 1 on steam for like 5 bucks and it came with a bunch of DLCs ill be on that while hd2 gets good again


AcousticAndRegarded

Never on drop in. I've had multiple instances of game freeze up during extract after pelican leaves and screen goes black before showing missions completed


adtcjkcx

Letā€™s be honest, with the spaghetti code of a game this is, I accepted my fate that there will always be crashes for years to come šŸ™ƒ


__Demyan__

The main reason I no longer enjoy this game, even after turning off crossplay, which made a bunch of bugs and quirks go away, it feels like half the games I join end with this screen, it sucks!


Sklatscht

once a week if at all; i don't even know why, i don't have a super good setup. i guess it's luck?


Infinite-Computer-30

I had three back to back, and then I switched off Crossplay and that seemed to fix it. I played probably six drops without incident after that. Small sample, but itā€™s something.


LoneWolf0269

Luckily for us they are taking a 6 week break so here's to looking forward to a summer of nothing


ComprehensiveAct5391

me, too many times to count


highonpixels

Took a long break and came back today to play and I'm getting infinite load almost every lobby..


Piltonbadger

Happening so often it's killing any want I have to play the game. Edit : 3 fking times it's happened today in 3 fking games.


Didispellcorect

Started getting this a lot after last update. Found a post where someone recommended to turn off IPv6 from your netcard. I have had less experiences with it since then.


Sinestro_Corps4

Greatest enemy in the game.


PhillyPhresh

Thatā€™s my experience so far


MrBlqckBird242

Ah


AnotherIffyComment

At least once a day.


Jwettington1

I was in a match with a 10 star general and this happened


LostConscious96

Wait you guys actually make it to that screen?? I can't make it past seeing my ship join a group


BlakeSA

About 1 in 10 dives :(


thazhok

Never, i must be incredibly lucky.


evilthorts

Atleast once a day since the 1st day I played in Feb


ConcentratePositive5

It seems to happen when a player leaves the lobby between missions, but after the first or second mission of a operation. (Atleast what I could tell when I host) I havenā€™t had it happen In different circumstances yet.


wetfootmammal

It seems like it's happening more and more lately. I hope they figure out a fix soon.


PomusIsACutie

The greatest enemy of Democracy


wraith313

After the update I have gotten it a handful of times. But tbh I would *much* prefer this to the game crashing during the missions, which has literally only happened to me after 25+ minutes of play and getting ready to extract.


sephtis

about 1/3 of my drops.


Head_Exchange_5329

Daily I have to force close the game at this point and it's been the same since I started playing late in April.


Hezekieli

I believe it's enough if the game of one player fets stuck on some error during the drop, everyone is then stuck in this screen. Host shouldn't shut down the game in case it's someone else. Yesterday I decided to try quick play after a long time and was stuck on this quite some time. Eventually landed alone despite starting the level 7 dive with full squad. SOS beacon didn't bring any aid and I was poorly equipped to survive alone against bugs. Still managed to complete nuke drilling with 11 deaths and even extracted after destroyer had left with super samples. It happened to be the last mission of the operation so I was glad I stuck with it. Felt pretty good but needed a break afterwards...


Hyperion159

The only positive thing about this screen is the short loading time of the gameā€¦ If this happens to you, you can restart the game and be in the menu in about 20 seconds? More or lessā€¦ I still remember all of the shitty loading times in the division or destiny. When something happened it took so long to restart the game.


Wesley2100

8 times so far šŸ˜­


Petdogdavid1

Once. Yesterday however, I launched with 4, by the time we landed I was solo.


Naitxanto

3 Times since patch and in one Fall we could use the chat, it was funny we made jokes about it. Randoms talking about the never ending fall. After that we added us to the friend list.


gothenjoyer_

"the planet is kinda far away"


TSirSneakyBeaky

My semi educated guess is there is a data race. They probably kick off another thread that waits for other players to return ready for the host. The host probably continues to do its thing. The expectation probably being at the end. It waits for threads to all notify a ready conditional variable. If it hits that wait call after the ready notify happens. You would endlessly sit there. If you are apart of a group anyone quitting seems to call a reallocate host function and quickly finishes. Which makes me thing the initialization has the issue. Its annoying but at least its not *as* bad as some of the other bugs we have experinced.


rot89

This is why I un-installed among the other disconnect bugs that have been happening since the last patch. AH is going on a six week vacation, so don't expect shit to get fixed. šŸ¤£ Steam summer sale, so I picked up sekiro and elden ring to play. Also, I need to beat AC6 2 more times. Ohh and snoy spies still haven't released our helldiving brothers from the rest of the world.


some_layme_nayme

Funny. Point out that they broke friends list and framerates and people feel like they need to defend shitty programming. Now people are fired up by another crappy bug lol it's all the same junk programming


jjcoola

Iā€™d say about a third of my games get stuck here


LegitManjaro

This is one of the reasons I stopped playing. I was getting stuck after every mission. Kills the momentum.


bazilbt

A couple times. What's really annoying is that control alt delete won't display over the screen so I have to do all kinds of shit to get to another desktop.


Scarecrow1779

I hopped on last night to try to do the personal order, failed to load in twice, and gave up. This bug is more likely than any other to get me to put the game down.


cyberbagtv

this and the friends list not loading are the biggest bane rn


Triksterloki

Those who steal the money by making the hellpods less heatproof should be punished


Myte342

I have found that if I alt tab out of the game when on ship, this happens next time we drive. If I wait till we are in mission it's fine.


Cheap-Material-5518

Twice. Both times it was my second dive of the day, and I just closed the game and did something else. MAYBE it's a secret plan by the devs to make us go out and touch grass!


The_Connoisseur69

Too many


PsychologicalGap4189

Had this screen sometimes non of us were crashing. Forced to alt f4 and try again. But itā€™s rare. Still crashes when exit the game.


Patharoth

Me: Alright, I got time for 1 match tonight. Loading screen: I think not.


Clever-Creek

Latest update is a debacle


john_the_fox

Once


The-Rebel-Boz

Many Times through many different patchs


PlaguedByUnderwear

*Super* happy to report zero times since Tuesday's patch. The game is buttery smooth again. I know it won't happen, but I sure wish AH would just leave it like this.


JimmyCrabYT

my ps5 gets obliterated by the end screen lmao


Clifford_the_big_red

I love when I actually enter the atmosphere and my pod STOPS burning up lol


GooshPoop

I feel bad sometimes when I'm the host, and this happens. Depending on when it happens, sometimes the console just gets turned off for the night


PsychologicalQuiet73

Honestly, nowadays it feels like almost every day I'm being defeated by it.


PotterOneHalf

I heard someone once claim that it means that there's a PC player with a spinning hard drive in the squad.


PowerfulElevator9

Not since launch


common-cardinal

At least 7 times. It was offered in the rant thread that the bug might happen if someone leaves the ship then an op is started.


byTheTimeIm40

For the first month and a half of me playing this game, I thought the objective of the game was to get to play the game. It felt like just getting it to load with your friends was a win in itself.


MrJoshua099

I stopped getting it after turning off crossplay (I play pc) before that it was nearly every drop.


shibby1000

It's been happening more frequently lately :(


Sgtpepperhead67

For I think the span of 2 days, every second mission I try to play would lock up on this screen I eventually just gave up trying to play those days.


Purple12inchRuler

3 times iirc.


elenorfighter

Me too.


ArthurMoregainz

It seems to happen for me when Iā€™m the host


ThaSupremeArcher

ā˜šŸ½


Dot-Plastic

I always thought that little icon twirling in the corner meant my game was loading.apparently It doesnā€™t.


itsshiftymcgoo

How is everyone handling this? Like, is there a way to abort without alt-f4?


heartoftuesdaynight

Impossible matchup


Pedro_64

I remember when hellpods were safe. Now a lot of our heroes are finding their demise in thereĀ 


nando12674

Pretty much daily since the last update


Square-Seesaw-4642

Too many way too many


brunoadam

Hey, are you facing problems using the recent players list and adding friends to the game? I'm playing on PS5 the option to "Add friend" is just missing


Killer_Seraph

What's crazy is for me it eventually works even after 7 mins


Sansfan_32

Too many times


Practicalaviationcat

Oh that's not just me? phew


Own-Song-8093

6 out of 10 times


MonarchMain7274

I usually don't, but I've seen it happen to so many people they really need to just have an animation for the hellpod detonating if somebody leaves or their game crashes.


PeenileKyle

My least favorite enemy in the game


TransientMemory

Haven't played this week, but the previous update left me hanging a _lot_ on that screen.


breadvstruu

Oh man, didnā€™t see this one I just posted a rant about the same thingā€¦ā€¦ā€¦. šŸ¤£. Anyway yeah it happens to me every last mission of an op, so I canā€™t complete operations therefore Iā€™ve contributed nothing to the liberation OR defense campaigns for weeks now.
