And here I am with another Helldivers 2 on Linux troubleshooting question... Recently (as in some about the end of Void Piercer), my game just doesn't allow me to up-link to any other ships anymore. I show up as "offline" to all my friends. I have tried switching the proton launcher in steam from Hotfix to Experimental and back, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game, have switched my VPN nodes dozens of times, restarted, everything, and nothing seems to allow me to link up to other players anymore. I can drop SOS beacons but no one can join. Might anyone Helldiving on Linux (Linux Mint specifically) know what might be causing this? >.<

EDIT: yup it was my VPN, thank you all!

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.

I've noticed more and more companies are able to detect when emails are from a temporary or alias email service. With emails being as important to identity as a phone number or address nowadays, I use proxy emails to bypass corporate registration and tracking, at least to an extent. I don't give out my actual email unless it's for something genuinely important.

Are there services anyone out there uses that are reliable in getting around company filters that detect when an email is a temp mail?

I've noticed more and more things that require an email signup to be able to detect when an email is from a temp service. I've been using Smailpro.com for years now but it seems companies are wising up to proxy emails like those. With email being as important to identity as a phone number or address nowadays, I only use proxies unless it's something I deem important enough to use my real email for.

Anyone out there experienced with temp emails? Are there services that can still get through company filters?
