Whereas Helldivers 2 has been fairly profitable on PS5 and PC since its current launch, the experience has not been notably easy. 

Gamers have been affected by widespread login points on high of usually not receiving rewards when finishing missions. 

That is because of the capability of the servers not being enough to sort out the excessive visitors that hit the sport because of its sudden reputation.

Arrowhead Sport Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt took to his personal X (previously Twitter) account to clarify the state of affairs and apologize for the disruptions+.

Pilestedt mentions that three hotfixes have already been deployed to enhance the state of affairs, however the servers’ connection fee per minute is restricted. Whereas this has been elevated from 10,000 to twenty,000, it is nonetheless not sufficient to deal with login calls for.

On high of that, the sport is peaking at 360,000 concurrent customers, which is the restrict the servers can deal with. This has additionally been elevated from 250,000. 

Because of this gamers will nonetheless get “Failed to connect with server” errors, however the adjustments made to the speed and peak limits ought to assist in not less than requiring fewer tries to log in efficiently. 

The difficulty of rewards has additionally been mitigated however not solved absolutely, and it will require extra server upkeep. Pilestedt mentions that rebooting the sport could assist. 

With the apology, he mentions that the crew is working onerous to make it proper. They’ll now get some sleep and proceed attempting within the morning. 

Hey Everybody,

Thanks to your endurance in the course of the server upkeep. With it we deployed three “rapid-fixes”
geared toward enhancing the state of affairs with rewards usually not being handed out correctly, login-issues, and
server capability.

To talk in technical phrases, our companies in addition to our accomplice companies have a fee limiter that denies
connections past a quantity per minute to stop the whole system from failing. We managed to
improve the speed restrict from 10,000/min to twenty,000/min and the overall capability of concurrent gamers was
elevated from 250,000 complete to 360,000 complete. This was nonetheless nonetheless not sufficient because the participant rely
jumped to 360k after 5 and half minutes.

As such, the problem with login stays. If for any cause you get the “Failed to connect with server”difficulty it
signifies that the utmost variety of login requests for that individual minute is exceeded and/or that
the servers are full and would require somebody to sign off earlier than permitting new gamers in. As talked about
above, the elevated capability ought to require much less retries to get in.

As for the reward difficulty, the repair was mitigated however not resolved. And with out extra server
upkeep this can nonetheless not work as supposed. Should you get the problem you’ll be able to strive rebooting the sport to
improve the possibilities of it being reset. That is because of the excessive visitors on the servers resulting in rewards not
being tracked appropriately by our servers.

I do know the development difficulty is irritating, particularly for newer divers that wish to unlock candy gear.
For now, please as soon as once more settle for our honest apologies for the problems you are going through and relaxation assured,
we’re doing our utmost to make it proper. So as to take action, proper now it’s essential that our crew will get some
sleep and we will likely be again at this once more in just a few hours.

Regards,

Johan
