I'll admit that it's not related to modding (even though i was planning to mod it) but after the first launch (which was successful) the game just crashes every other time. Very similar situation as https://discord.com/channels/746211612981198989/1248061209039863880, but since there's nothing there, i can only guess nothing came out of it. Looking through so many places online i honestly don't know what to do anymore.

is this with or without mods?

does it throw up logs? if so can you post
hollow holly
Have you tried verifying the game's files?
You could also try seeing if your gpu's drivers are up to date.

the latest two crash dumps from the game folder

Have you tried verifying the game's files?
tried verifying game files, uninstalling the game (steam files, saves, configuration) and reinstalling, tried reinstalling possible missing redists (though the game would probably not really open in the first place if it did have a problem with that), installing the media feature pack, opening the game on windows safe mode to make sure there are no overlays i forgot to disable, updating drivers, updating windows, swapping the game's executable, older builds (through the year old hotfix betas)
maybe more things but that's all i can remember at the moment
the result is the same as this
nothing i did changed the behavior
the only difference between current build and hotfix builds is that when the hotfix builds crash, the game doesn't immediately close and i'm met with a "sorry! application has crashed" error
i sent a support ticket to sega but i very much doubt they will even respond to it
a crash dump from one of the hotfix builds
oh, and in case anybody asks, the event viewer doesn't have anything related to the game crashing... or related to the game at all as far as i can tell.

do you have nvidia
turn on fxaa
no clue why that works but apparently from my looking into it it worked for a lot of ppl
nvm i threw the dmp file you provided into windbg and
0xc0000005 - The instruction at 0x%p referenced memory at 0x%p. The memory could not be %s.
the crash dump from the hotfix gives me a "wrong symbols" error but idk if thats my debugger or thats genuinely the game so disregard that

did both dumps of current build have the same issue?

lemme check the other current build dump rq
yeah they have the same invalid memory access issue

from looking online it seems like the game is trying to access memory that it doesnt have
https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1b5851s/game_keeps_crashing_mid_run_im_at_a_complete_loss/ this has a similar issue but with hd2

yeah seems like that's the case, i've had a friend try to decipher what exactly is going on by looking at the dump and disassembling the game's executable, one second
autumn mirage
so somehow the saves are saved to some garbage memory that the game shouldnt even have access to?
thats what im guessing
empty fulcrum
hold on it's not over yet
autumn mirage
id say run memtest86 but i dont think that would work here
because its a game issue and doesnt seem to be an issue with your build?

yes, seems to be the case
empty fulcrum
this is as far as we got really
to be quite honest i'm thinking of giving this a shot on linux if there's NOTHING else i can do
autumn mirage
it's trying to save the language encoding to an invalid spot in memory (perhaps writing to a read only spot)
empty fulcrum
i tried launched the game as admin, but still got the same problem
autumn mirage
might be some screwy stuff that worked on vita but never got fixed in pc ver
autumn mirage
i say open a steam discussion and include everything there
what you and your friend found out + what we deduced here
empty fulcrum
i could do this, but i'm going to wait to see if i get a response from sega
autumn mirage
once i get p4g myself (which isnt coming for a little bit) ill do further investigation
but for right now i have things i need to do so .

np!

Seems you figured out that it's something going wrong when reading the save file. You said you'd tried deleting the saves but what about taking someone else's working save and putting it in place of yours?
hollow holly
It's system.bin that it's reading so here's mine if you want to try putting them in place of yours. It might be interesting to keep a copy of your current ones as well, although if this does consistently happene when you delete your save then presumably you could just recreate them anyway

this worked! after some thinking i realized steam cloud might have been the main culprit
since it was not creating new files when i deleted them, only downloading them from the cloud (i believe)
this would make the most sense
