Helldivers 2

I'm not sure if it's a visual thing or if it actually didn't give me any medals :D

And here I am with another Helldivers 2 on Linux troubleshooting question... Recently (as in some about the end of Void Piercer), my game just doesn't allow me to up-link to any other ships anymore. I show up as "offline" to all my friends. I have tried switching the proton launcher in steam from Hotfix to Experimental and back, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game, have switched my VPN nodes dozens of times, restarted, everything, and nothing seems to allow me to link up to other players anymore. I can drop SOS beacons but no one can join. Might anyone Helldiving on Linux (Linux Mint specifically) know what might be causing this? >.<

EDIT: yup it was my VPN, thank you all!

Dive now to secure your Eagle Gas Strike allocation.

Without the voice of freedom, Coretta Kelly, this announcement feels bittersweet.

Did anyone catch the weird things happening on the DSS. There's also a missing planet.

We may have cleansed one too many aquifers...

I really like the Cleanse Foul Shrine mission. We are bring freedom and democracy to the void.

Not my video.

I have never seen so many watchers in one place before. Usually, there one, two, three max in the area; however, it feels like there's 6 in an area. As soon as they go down, 3 more are around the corner.

Good time to check out Helldivers 2. There are 2 time-limited mission types. Try them out before they're gone.

Territorial Reclamation Initiative authorized.

Peaceful worlds are suffering inside an expanding Void of reality-warping distortion… a deceitful design of the ink-stained Illuminate infiltrators!

Planets corrupted. Citizens lost. Natural law violated.

You’ve been cleared for exploratory insertion. Dive into the Illuminate Void, reclaim our worlds, and restore Managed Democracy.

Also, major update blog post plus new super merch store where players can unlock merch to buy irl based off of in-game accomplishments

Ever since 6.3.0, Vox Engines don't strike fear like they used too. The limit cap and reduction in HP make it feel like a really huge nerf. But what do I know? I play on Level 7 in a two helldiver squad.

Any XP earned after a player reached the 150 cap will carry over automatically when the patch goes live and not be lost as well!

Title says it all. You can sometimes one shot the glowy bit on an engine, but even with hits all over the place you can down one with a single clip.
