Arrowhead Game Studios has confirmed that a new helldivers 2 A patch will be deployed to address current issues related to servers and matchmaking.
In a recent Discord announcement on February 19, the developer explained that the next update will be released for both PlayStation 5 and PC, and while players can expect improvements to be made, “no update will solve all problems.”
“This week we implemented improvements focused on the game's most serious issues: login, matchmaking, and server loading,” the post reads.
“You'll see an update for PC and PS5 tomorrow, although please note that no update will resolve all issues. Rather, we will be making ongoing improvements over the coming days and weeks.
“We are all working hard to make sure the game is a stable place to spread managed democracy to every planet in the galaxy.”
Four days after its release on February 8, the game had become so popular in such a short time that the developer was initially forced to increase the total simultaneous player capacity from 250,000 to 360,000.
However, this weekend, Arrowhead went ahead and limited the concurrent player count of helldivers 2 to 450,000 after server instability, but it doesn't seem to resolve the issue, and SteamDB shows that the game has reached a peak of over 411,000 players at the time of writing.
The game is having great success in its first month of release, but its popularity means that users are not able to play as expected, and many decide to leave the game open overnight so as not to have to wait in long lines. again.
