how to repair windows 10
in 2024 this is insane that a 20 minute video is needed to play a game. Not to discredit Aarohan he did an excellent job of explaining everything quickly but its insane how over the top this anti cheat is that causes most of the problems
I have to restart my pc everytime I want to play the game. If I had already launched the game, closed it. And tried to relaunch it, it gives me the error.. pretty annoying tbh
I literally did everything you said and I still can't get it to work T_T Why can't it just work like any other game?
I bought the game 2 days ago and i havent played one mission yet, I have AMD radeon 580 and everytime i launch the game my pc just turns off. Its only Hell divers 2 it happends to no other game on my pc. I have checked around and tried everything but i cant get it to work. Pls someone help me. I just want to play the game i spent 45 bucks on 🙁
Muito obrigado, funcionou!
which one helps from getting a BSOD on running the game
oh thank god, an accent! I've found the right video!
Mine issue was a currupted game file. Validated game files and solved my issue
my game launches but just gets stuck on a black screen and then crashes
just exiting steam closing it fully works after u reopen it thank you
VERIFY THE INTERIGTY OF YOUR GAMES IF STILL NO LUCK (steam library>rightclick game>files>Verify)
Nothing is working for me bro
Your video put me on the right track.
I had to run as administrator to let it finish doing what ever janky set up they have… To do that I needed to update my MS C++ redistributable… well played sir
Mine launched but it shuts down all apps like discord and steam and my username is not my steam name it's my moniter name
gameguard uninstall/reinstall worked for me. thanks.
Spent 60 bucks on a game that won’t even get through the initial loading/launch!
Man, back in the day you would buy a 60 dollar game and be pissed when the multiplayer had bugs.
Now I buy a 60 dollar game, and it crashed every time I try to start it!!!
Cool. Love where the gaming industry is going
getting a MSVRCR 110.dll was not found error
Thank you for putting this together. For me it was the GeForce Experience overlay which was causing the problem.
did everything and nothing worked wtf
Thank you for this. Mine seemed like a combination of problem. I think it was a 2 ways folder corruption/oudated scripts
im getting the problem that the game launces on the wrong screen, so i have 2 screens, my main is my laptop, and it just opens up on the 2nd monitor, and when i try to move it to the main pc it just disepears
unplugging my dual sense help me. weird
20 minutes??
Edit: Nevermind! You fixed my issue withtin the first 2 minutes! How could I have doubted… I'm a fool.
Thank you very much. Nobody else could help but you did. For me it was actually going into properties and putting it as run as admin .
I think one of the main issues is the crappy nProtect anti-cheat they chose to use. I remember it being used on PSO2 New Genesis and I had similar issues where the game would constantly crash on startup and stuff. Man, I hate shitty anti-cheat. I get they don't want people messing with their game but it sometimes makes the game experience worse in the end with problems it causes lol.
Running helldivers2.exe as administrator fixed it for me, I don't know if you just so happened to make this video by chance or if this game is that buggy on launch but either way thank you friend for fixing mine and hopefully everyone else's problems
