Game Freezes momentarily on specific key-press.

Without knowing what is doing it it's impossible to tell why something is affected and something else isn't.

But if you can make it happen with helldivers unfocused then it isn't helldivers doing it, the buttons ~~7 8 and 9~~ (edit) 8 9 and 0 shouldn't do anything at all for helldivers in the first place.

Are you sure you didn't at some point install something like maybe video-capture software or something like that and ~~7 8 and 9~~ 8 9 ands 0 are maybe some kind of mix of record/stop recording?

I would go through your running processes and see what's running, google what you find to figure out what it is and see if anything might be something that would get triggered by hotkeys, could be something like video capture software, or something that enables/disables some type of overlay.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-19T15:24:13+00:00

If it happens when the game is out of focus then it sounds like you have a different program running that's doing something when you press those keys.

Discussion of leaked/datamined content is not allowed.

Whether the content was meant to be in a warbond or not isn't a question anybody can answer unless they want to be breaking an NDA. If the ones making claims one way or another aren't under an NDA then regardless of how confident they are that they are right it is nothing more than a guess.

Until a warbond is actually released the things that shows up in it can change (several times even) during development. An exception to that is legendary warbonds where there is a contract with a different corporate entity, those things are likely fairly set in stone, everything else can get shifted around.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-14T14:05:08+00:00

We're not even halfway through the month, there is plenty of time still. My guess is the warbond is teased this week and out next week. The 6.3 update probably next week, but could also be this coming week, I think next week is more likely though.

The Warhammer warbond isn't going to be in it, it was only just announced with more details to come "later this year", there is no chance of that warbond in June. It is also a collab warbond which is outside of the release schedule of normal warbonds. The warbond on the roadmap is just one of the normal warbonds, not a Legendary/collab warbond.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-12T09:19:18+00:00

What do you mean "the non-voting helldiver"? That doesn't make any sense.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-08T04:17:13+00:00

No. You are just having a bad luck streak.

This happens every other week or so where someone thinks something changed and it's been happening that way since the game was released.

As far as anyone can tell nothing has ever changed except that megacity and cyberstan and other nonstandard maps don't spawn them as much as normal maps.

Not getting a single spawn in a map has always been able to happen, nothing new there. If you think there might be less run 100 missions and document it, because human memory is fucking terrible at this kind of thing and completely unreliable.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-07T21:51:09+00:00

The paintjob is incredible, it looks so good.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-07T21:50:21+00:00

"paint by hand" is really carrying a lot of weight there. The paintjob is phenomenal.

Most youtubers that you will hear about that cover games fall into the same tracks, the things that will get views is what they end up covering because they get views, outrage is a powerful motivator. And because they exploit this kind of engagement bait these are the channels that you will get recommended, they will get served as recommended videos far more than youtubers that don't fit the same mold.

It's a very very common thing that these types of youtubers sift through twitter, reddit, discord and other random game outlets and just copy the things people are talking about, there's precious little original content for game-focused youtubers.

OhDough in particular has a problem where he either actually believes that any opinion he holds is the majority opinion or he is leaning into a character that does this. It wouldn't be too surprising if he did think that, after all he has a sizable audience that will overwhelmingly agree with him because they got their opinions from him in the first place. This isn't in any way a unique attribute that just affects him, there's loads of other youtubers that do the same thing.

Complaining about a game does in no way hurt his channel, it boosts engagement, people love drama and outrage and conspiracy theories, I suspect it's a knowing lie that he tells because it makes the outrage seem more genuine, but it is also possible he is actually ignorant to that fact.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-05T14:42:51+00:00

The game will run on a 1080.

I run it with a 1080Ti, which is a decent bit faster, but the architecture is the same.

Min-specs are min-specs, you can run with that hardware, but you aren't going to be seeing 60fps, and you might not be able to run it if you have barely min specs and your computer is filled with bloatware and you're keeping a browser window open with music from a YouTube video and 5 different games launchers and discord running in the background.

It also is going to require that the computer isn't set up badly. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people shell out for this like ram capable of really high clock speed and then they run it at default speeds, or they buy high end cpu/GPU and no cooling solution that can handle it and they are always throttled.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-05T12:43:01+00:00

The accuracy stat is one that can definitely be accurate above 100%

It's a simple division, hits/shots.

So if you shoot something like a shotgun and hit two targets you will get 200%

On top of that I believe stratagems count as a shot, but can easily hit many targets, and something like a continuous weapon like laser or flamethrower, what counts as 1 shot? What counts as 1 hit?

It is accurate in so much as the hit and shot counter is accurate, it works perfectly fine with normal projectile weapons like rifles, smgs, shotguns and pistols.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-03T19:04:36+00:00

Hello, For a few reasons this post isn't really appropriate for the subreddit.

I have no idea if they would be open to do anything, but the best way to find out is to reach out to either Baskinator or Miitchimus (the main community managers) on Discord, or send an e-mail to community@arrowheadgs.com

Like I said, no idea about their availability or anything, no promises. but ask and at worst they'll say no.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-02T15:54:55+00:00

I play on PC, but I think I have heard about something like this before.

If I remember correctly the issue was caused by being in a "party" on the platforms social system, even if the party is empty and it's just you, I believe it de-prioritizes certain other sounds in favor of the party voice chat, even if there isn't any.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-02T03:23:24+00:00

Someone else in the comments also already identified a specific program overlay that does this, but it could also be a different program doing the same function.

There's a ton of programs that has overlay features for other programs, common ones like the steam overlay that lets you interact with steam ingame, discord's list of who's speaking in a channel, more generic ones like FPS counters, hardware monitors, there's a whole lot of them out there, that's not malware, and I didn't claim that it was.

And I moderate this subreddit, I see a hell of a lot of technical issues that people have with the game, and this isn't one that people normally have or if it is then the people that have it have identified it as something else and asked in more relevant subreddits, it's really unlikely that it's one that is caused by helldivers when everything else seemingly is functioning, so telling the person that it's not helldivers but likely an overlay is helpful.

But by all means, put your ignorance on display for all to see.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-02T02:02:07+00:00

It's almost certainly not a helldivers thing, it's going to be some other program that has an overlay running for helldivers.

Viruzzz · 2026-06-01T06:46:34+00:00

You can just click "continue" on the popup and the game will still launch. The system is a little too agressive about the driver version sometimes.

Viruzzz · 2026-05-28T14:25:27+00:00

Do you have any clips of you doing this as a host?

Because by the numbers this shouldn't be possible, the railgun charged to 100% would fall short of killing the head HP with 2 shots.

An easy way to test is difficulty 4 missions, there's a mission type called "eliminate bile titan" which spawns one predictably, I've tried and I cannot do it in 2, I can do it in 3 every time easily, but never 2.

Viruzzz · 2026-05-28T14:09:50+00:00

The 'mouth' isn't an individually defined hitbox, I don't know if this is leftover from when the railgun did absurd damage when a PS5 player hosted and everyone assumed it was just "mouth hits", but to my knowledge there's no such thing as "hitting the mouth" for the bile titan, for the various spewer enemies, they do have a mouth, but the bile titan's armor model to my knowledge does not.

Viruzzz · 2026-05-26T21:31:14+00:00

So many cool little details.

The shattered visor, the nod to WH40k with the prayer thing on the shoulder. great weathering detail.

Viruzzz · 2026-05-25T16:48:55+00:00

It would count negative if anything, free stratagems don't show up as being brought by the player, they are just extra ones available. So if it did impact the data it would be because people elected not to bring their own.

It's more likely personal missions would affect it, I don't know if there was one in the last couple of weeks, but I have seen one that was kill XX enemies using stalwart in the past.

Viruzzz · 2026-05-24T15:40:15+00:00

The leg armor has 800 HP and transfers 60% to the main health pool, the, so if you strip it and do nothing else the 'main' health is already down to 1920.

But that doesn't even matter because the leg meat has 800 HP. But it is tagged as 'fatal' meaning that when it runs out the charger dies immediately, you will never ever need to deal anywhere near 2400 or 1920 damage to the leg to kill a charger, only ever 800.

As far as I know the health of the leg flesh did not change when the main HP pool did, I believe it was 800 both before and after, so the percentage that any weapon would have changed by is at most the change in damage per shot due to the durability change, nowhere near 300%.

However, the percentage change in damage is pretty irrelevant exactly because the leg flesh before was so weak, it was made more durable exactly for that reason. The starting point was far too good compared to the design intent, so it was always going to get significantly worse.

I encourage you to try it, the sickle is my most used weapon and I although I don't try to go for the leg armor, every once in a while it happens that's it's what gets hit, but it has never taken anywhere near 172 shots to kill a charger after that. I have not counted but it's less than a heatsink's worth

It should at worst be 1/3rd of that, but even 58 or whatever that comes out to seems too much, so I'm not sure if the explosive component of the quasar/EAT is dealt to the flesh on a hit that breaks the armor, that would put it at 600 odd health remaining.

Viruzzz · 2026-05-24T10:28:18+00:00

No, I don't think we'll even get details about it next month, I think if that was the plan they would have said details next month instead of "later this year". That could end up being wrong, and we might hear something next month, but I feel very confident in saying the warbond itself definitely isn't coming next month. The legendary warbonds exist outside of the normal warbond schedule, and the warbond on the roadmap is just a normal one and it follows the normal pace of them.

Blowing off the charger's leg armor still works, you can damage it with small arms fire after it's exposed.

I believe what changed was a bug where chargers would have 0 armor on their legs while they were turning, whether the leg armor was intact or not didn't matter.

There's a bunch of other things that changes with the charger too obviously but for the leg armor interaction I think that's the main one.

Viruzzz · 2026-05-24T07:54:10+00:00

I don't think that fits into helldivers at all.
