I've got a bad feeling about this.

Just more AAA bullshit…

And I’m sure a ton of gamers who will reward this behavior too.

    I played through it mostly fine about 2 months ago. My PC is pretty beefy, and I had random lock ups (from what I know of Helldivers on AMD cards now, I’m going to guess it was the Global Illumination setting being enabled), but I was able to put in good 3 and 4 hr sessions.

      Amd processor and Nvidia video card, I don’t have problems with either game (played through both Jedi Survivor games recently).

      Likely less of a hardware thing and more of a, “made with a ten year old engine that was discontinued seven years ago.”

      Originally I was gonna say Unreal Engine 5 only has a smallish performance hit when Lumen Global Illumination is enabled, but when I looked up the helldivers engine, they outright cite its discontinuing for, “not being able to compete against UE and Unity.”

      Edit: the engine is Autodesk Stingray, since I failed to name it.

      Edit 2: apparently Helldivers 2 was in production since before Stingray was discontinued, but still, why’d they try to put GI in such an old engine? Did nobody consider the stress a new lighting model would apply to an engine that barely existed before the idea of GI?
