Helldivers 2 Devs to Begin Rolling Out Updates to Fix the 'Most Serious Issues' on PS5 and PC
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios has said it will be releasing updates on PS5 and PC this week that aim to tackle the "most serious problems" the game is currently facing, including login, matchmaking, and server load. The first of these fixes will arrive tomorrow, February 20, but Arro...

Game won't even launch for me. Just a black screen. Maybe this will fix it? otherwise I'm enjoying the Starship Troopers game, in its stead.
You can get past the black screen by deleting the config file in the game's appdata. After that, it'll launch, you'll apply settings, and you'll get stuck on the "Defrosting Helldiver" screen because you can't access a server, and be stuck with a black screen the next time you launch. I'm having so much fun.
So glad there's a... Work around...? They got 1 week before I refund I guess.
Steam is allowing refunds even over 2 hours for this game, just fyiOh man actually take that last comment with a grain of salt, I am seeing conflicting reports on the Steam boards about that today, sorry about that
Oh! Good to know. Thanks!

Understood. Thanks for the follow up
In the config file under appdata, edit fullscreen flag to false. Its one of the first lines in the file.
Black screen is the first boss Servers are full screen second boss
Just have to wait for both
I read somewhere that the server issues and the black screen is related
If you let it sit on the black screen, it will eventually let you in. Or to be exact it will eventually display the intro movie and splash screen, you'll probably see servers at capacity there and after some time there you'll eventually get in. Not exactly sure what it's doing on that black screen, but I'm guessing it's trying to talk to some server that's massively overloaded. I spent most of the weekend playing with friends, so I had to suffer through the wait multiple times.
Hmm. I don't like the waiting. I have about 1.5hrs of playtime before I can get it refunded with ease. I'll just see what state it's in next weekend and refund if it's still iffy.
