HELLDIVERS 2: Game Won't Start After Update (Workarounds)

Short answer

No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: Have you played since the EAC update?

The problem

Getting 'The application was unable to start correctly (0x0000142)." Validated game files and restarted multiple times. How is this happening this far into the games life?

How Do I Throw Stratagems Accurately to Hit Targets at a Distance?

Suggested fix (from YouTube, unconfirmed): Place a ping on your desired target to display the exact distance in meters. Since Helldivers can throw stratagem balls a maximum of 30 meters, you can use the distance indicator to walk into the correct range and always land your throw on target.
