Hardware prices are currently very high. And graphics cards are not particularly cheap if you want enough performance.
A player was already afraid that he would have to buy a new graphics card and invest a lot of money in new hardware. He posted on Reddit a short video showing gameplay of Helldivers. In the video, there are partially severe graphical errors in the game. Therefore, he feared the worst and thought his graphics card would die.
In fact, a player then came with a crucial tip: A graphic setting was apparently causing problems and in the end, it wasn’t the graphics card. Lucky for the player, because graphics cards can get really expensive.
Graphic setting in Helldivers 2 causes graphical problems
What solved the problem? Fortunately for the player, it was not his installed graphics card, but the new graphics update of Helldivers 2. Here, a setting called “Dynamic Resolution Scaling” was apparently causing severe graphical problems. He explained that thanks to a tip he disabled the setting and was then able to play without problems. He expressed his gratitude:
Of course, I am super glad that it was not my GPU. Thank you for all the answers and advice!
In general, it is usually the best decision to first change the game and test whether other games are also affected by problems. And another recommendation is to update the graphics card drivers, as these can also cause difficulties. Especially with a major game release, manufacturers like AMD or Nvidia release adjusted drivers for the release.
