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!

It's likely your VPN and Linux combo. Great for privacy but not so great for online gaming (Linux build doesn't officially exist so your likely using Steam Proton)
