on r/helldivers under the discussion topic. "The game crash the video signal for my monitors."

I am experiencing the same issue. However the is much more severe. I have already uninstalled the game and requested a refund. However the issue is still prevalent hours after the only 3 minute ordeal. I have 2 monitors that are plugged into my gpu. Both were there when I the issue occurred. 3 out of 4 of my gpu video out ports are bricked to the degree where that my monitor registers only for about 2-3 secs that it receiving a video signal but it cuts and says no signal found. I have plugged the hdmi for the second monitor into my motherboard and it works as far as receiving a video out signal. The issue of extremely low fps in all games is still present. Also the issue with the 3 out of 4 video ports on my gpu not sending a video out is still present.

Any ideas to get my pc to how it was originally will greatly appreciated. I built this pc less than 6 month ago after saving up money for nearly 2 year.

Check device manager for any errors on the GPU itself.

Run the AMD cleanup utility: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-601

Install the latest driver, looks like they have addressed issues with the game in a driver update: https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/release-notes/rn-rad-win-24-2-1-helldivers-2

I have already installed the latest drives that came out on 02/26

I did the amd cleanup thing and it made it worst. I no longer get a video out from hdmi port on my motherboard

I downloaded the gpu drivers first and that did not work. Then I downloaded the adrenaline update and everything seems to working now. Its truly sad that a game can cause this level of devastation to a pc. Thanks for the advice.

Since your motherboard is AMD, that program wipes out both the IGP and dGPU driver. So you have to reinstall both. Looks like the dev's are aware of an issue but haven't tracked it down yet.

The issue has returned and now my DP port that was previously working is now malfunctioning

Is there anyway to get my pc back to how it was before the helldivers 2 installation?

Haven't seen anything quite like what you're experiencing. Most users are reporting crashes, but many are resolving the issue by setting power limits or FPS limits. Might be worth it to do a clean OS reinstall and see if the issue persists.
