does anyone here have experience with running HD2 on Linux mint? It has been running perfectly stable for a while last couple months) but now, when i play it through steam, or rather try to, it refuses to launch.

im only software literate to an extent and this is out of my understanding if its a Linux thing or steam thing or system thing.

Some people on r*ddit reported that their game crashes if they run it in DX11 with the latest updates: if you've previously added "-d3d11" or something similar to the launch arguments for whatever reason, try removong them (I'll write some instructions here when I get to my PC Steam library -> right click on Helldivers 2 -> "Properties..." -> General -> Launch Options (remove the dx11/d3d11 argument)).

Another thing you can try is resetting graphics settings and deleting caches - it did solve some crashes for a friend on mine though he was on Windows (again, instructions when PC

  • /path_to_your_steam_library/steamapps/common/Helldivers 2/ -> delete vkd3d cache files;
  • /path_to_your_steam_library/steamapps/compatdata/553850/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Arrowhead/Helldivers2/ -> delete the "shader_cache" directory, if it's there (also delete "panic", "crash_data" and "dumps" if you feel like it)

)
