Hey everyone, I’m really frustrated with Helldivers 2. My PC specs are decent, and they exceed what’s listed as the minimum requirements on Steam. I’ve got a 1660 Super (6GB VRAM), an Intel i7 10700K, and 16GB of RAM all on an M2 SSD. Yet, the game regularly lags, freezes, and stutters every few seconds regardless of whether I’m on the highest or lowest settings. I’ve tried everything from reinstalling, updating drivers, switching to DirectX 11, tweaking all the in-game settings, and even overclocking my GPU and CPU, but nothing works—it’s only happening with Helldivers 2. I’m worried if this keeps up, the game will lose its player base. Anyone else experiencing this struggle?

Have you checked if you have Discord running in the background? It can cause some pretty serious stuttering issues when playing games. Just a heads up!
Totally, Nvidia Broadcast does the same thing. It’s known for causing major frame drops!
Honestly, don’t expect much more than generic support responses. If you ask for help, they might just shuffle you to Discord. Frustrating situation overall!
It’s wild how some people just downvote these concerns instead of helping. Just want the game to be as good as it can be!
Right? People downvote the valid issues because they don’t want to hear the truth.
I usually have Discord running too, but I’ve closed everything else while playing and it hasn’t helped much on my end.
