thats exactly what happens to me too. but sometimes it feezes just in the middle of a mission. deleting shader_cache doesn't help either.
I just came here to see if others were having this issue. Usually it freezes after 2 missions or so- Now it's about 15 minutes into the first game. Just started happening recently, Maybe after arrowhead had all of their servers down?
Same here, frequently crashing immediately on trainer activation (NOT the Carrot to disable GameGuard, but the trainer itself) or within a few minutes a high percentage of the time.
Tried on a fresh install of the game, located on a different drivem, with a fresh "launcher" Carrot and same issues persisted.

Since nobody reads and everybody is just going to lard up the thread with the same complaint which we are CLEARLY not going to be able to do anything about and have posted about 200 times, the trainer is now retired.
There is no trainer crash immediately on activation here, and "game crashes after playing 15-30 mins" stuff over and old is just getting tiring.
Thanks for making this easy by just completely ignoring pages and pages of tips and posts.
best,
Cal

Hey there! I found out that for me, It works to let the Helldivers2.exe bypass to run RIGHT as you see the first helldivers into video start in game- the game usually crashes or gameguard gets ya. Then restart windows and it will work if you run the bypass in the same intro video. "Look Familiar?" haha
Of course this is a different issue from what has happened before, and i'm not sure devs can fix this. But for now this is working for me. All other methods that worked prior do NOT work for me, as Cal has stated- many pages exist for help, I hope to help others. FOR FREEDOM
