Helldivers 2 Review and |OT| "Fight for freedom, fight for Democracy"
- Thread starter Gamernyc78
- Start date
Is it a bug? On the results screen I saw 1 medal but then I had 16 on the Acquisitions board (I bought the grenade and the 100 credit before the mission so I had like nothing left). I was confused.
16 was maybe your total? You accumulate them in different ways, e.g. Difficulty, can find them in levels, etc.

FFS your name there isn't Gamernyc78 so can't remember which one is yours, lol.
That's where the fuckery happening then. Turned it off but didn't work, maybe need to close the game and open it again.

Also just wanna ask: What did you name your ship?
I called mine "Claw of Law".

OH damn I forgot think I just left it generic like "destroyer" bcus I was editing other things lol. I'll probably name it Blood Monger or something
I always put Blood in my names due to my love for Bloodborne.

Online has been running smoothly for me now except one disconnect I had in the middle of a mission tht pissed me off. How about you?
Crashed once first time I changed my loadout, smooth sailing since. Just been playing with friends so no matchmaking shenanigans yet.

You have somehow a limited choice of words though. But could make something epic and something stupid as well, haha.
No it's not my total because I had enough medals to reach the second page and buy the banner and stuff. I probably found them during the mission. I'll explore more next time since I have tons of time left after completing the objectives.
FYI, you don't have to extract to finish the mission. I died before I could extract and I still had mission complete (Reinforce are lives so you die 5 times).

The amount of medals depends on the difficulty. More difficulty, bigger bugs and more medals. In fact, the missions are different in each difficulty level.
As you complete a few missions you'll unlock harder difficulty levels.
Just finished my first mission on the Steam Deck, and I'm kind of shocked that it worked.
Anti cheat is NOT broken on SteamOS, contrary to speculation I've seen. You can absolutely play this game online.
Performance in game is mixed. I averaged around 27fps using the Performance resolution scale, and medium->high graphics settings. Not great, but serviceable.
At low settings with native res, I get around 38fps
At low settings with ultra performance scaling, Im getting 60fps, but it looks like a Switch game. Smoke shaders look insanely pixelated, and foliage is super jaggy.
Unfortunately I encountered general weirdness out of gameplay. The first run took a couple minutes to get to an in-game screen. I was beginning to think it was broken, but eventually it did start. Not sure if that was an anti cheat initialization thing, or a shader compilation or what. Subsequent launches are normal. I think there's a few bugs in the game that show up more obviously on a low power CPU. Changing the resolution scale will reliably make the game hang.
Overall this is pretty impressive. I wasn't expecting it to work at all. When Valve gets around to rating it, they'll probably say Playable. If Arrowhead does an optimized Deck mode and fixes some of the general issues, I could see it get Verified.

I'm ok with PC players having anti-cheat forced upon them if it makes my crossplay experience better. 
Just realised what it might be. You get lots of medals for completing specific tasks. I have one now to kill 500 bugs, rewards 15 medals.
Can we start a list ot a thread for PSN names to play this game with? Info is all over the pages and we need a system to share (if we want) and get added to play the game.
