> False. A few months ago I played it for an entire day and the game was fine. Last week I played it a good portion of Saturday night. I'm in several large HellDivers focused Discord servers and I've not heard a lot of people complaining about it. Maybe 6 months ago or a year ago this was the case, but not now.

I specifically mean the exact time, right after the pelican starts to fly. I keep seeing "<player> left" or "disconnected". Some come back and I have a habit of asking: "Crash?", they respond with "yeah"

If that is happening, they need to do a Steam Integrity check. I understand the game is buggy, but it isn't that buggy.
