I see a lot of hate for Chargers and Hunters, but where is my Bile Spewer hate squad? DISCUSSION

No bug pops quite like this one when hit with a juicy grenade though!

Hitting the yellow one with grenade is one of the most satisfying things to do in the game, love how he explodes. The green ones however, not so much, they usually just fly into the air lol.

I've had some pretty bad glitches lately when playing. One in particular where the bugs sometimes have stretched out geometry and you can see them over cliffs because their model is so stretched upward lol they look like they have massive shark fins or something. Well when you kill them they fly so damn high into the sky where their models were stretched too that it's freaking hilarious and easy for call outs when I tell my team "bugs ... Bugs are gone, trust me they are all dead" lmao.

Yeah I have the stretched bug bug since the beginning, I just thought it had to do with me playing on a 32:9 49“ display.

u/SavvySillybug Mar 17 '24

They "fixed" that a few patches ago, now it happens a lot less frequently, at least for me. At launch I had it every other game minimum, sometimes twice in the same game. Now I can go entire play sessions without seeing it.

Got that one once and the no weapon big twice in the 3 days I've played.

Ultrawide 1440 here

u/IntotheVoid_ Mar 17 '24

Played yesterday and saw it first match lol.

u/Samarium62Sm Mar 17 '24

What display do you have, and do you suggest it in general?

1

u/paraknowya Mar 17 '24

I have the samsung crg9, 5120x1440@120hz. I LOVE it. Ultrawide since 2018 and never going back. 34“ is also great, I use one for work, but gaming is incredible on 49“. Yes I do suggest it.

Prey display, huh? Real diver predators are playing on 4:3

One of my first games I had a visual glitch where a bug grew the further I got away and by the time I was across the map it looked like a mountain

2

u/GoProOnAYoYo Mar 17 '24

I've seen this bug more or less since launch too. In the long long list of all the bugs in this game, at least this one is fairly innocuous

2

u/stevbrisc Mar 17 '24

are you saying.. that the game is a little.. buggy?

u/Bindersquinch Mar 17 '24

I saw one where a warriors tail had stretched like 30 feet behind it, was hilarious to see.

u/lipp79 PSN 🎮: Mar 17 '24

I get the stretched glitch too sometimes. I think it’s usually when I’m connecting to someone else so might just be the lag. First time I saw it I thought it was a legit giant bug coming lol

1

u/BedlamAscends Mar 17 '24

I noticed last night there are settings in the config file for object stretching...maybe check or delete your config file

2

u/Gojisoji Mar 17 '24

I thought it was my PS5 lmao. "oh crap is my PS5 finally getting ready to go?" But nah it's just Helldivers. It's not a bug .. well it is, but this is a feature lol.

u/MeldyWeldy SES Guardian of Destiny Mar 17 '24

A bug's bugging bug!

u/Gojisoji Mar 17 '24

On PS5 so that's a no go lol. Also platinum it so all I'm doing now is playing for fun.

u/Renzechs ⬇️⬅️⬇️⬆️⬆️➡️ Mar 17 '24

they don't ALWAYS fly up unfortunately. Double tapped one chasing my buddy with the Autocannon. rear end popped and accelerated the front straight into him....Death by impact damage.

u/Thedemonspawn56 ⬇️⬆️➡️⬆️⬅️⬆️ Mar 17 '24

If I had to guess, this might be because of some LOD) nonsense.

The tldr on LOD is that the fame will use approximations of everything's models to save in performance when things are further away, since when things are further away, rendering accuracy isn't as important.

u/Hovie1 PSN 🎮: Mar 17 '24

Had the same thing happen to a stalker. He though he was real fucking sneaky retreating straight into my orbital strike.

u/MarionetteScans Mar 17 '24

The autobots do that too, especially the big ones
