Whereas Helldivers 2 has been fairly profitable on PS5 and PC since its latest launch, the journey has not been significantly clean.
Gamers have been affected by widespread login points on prime of typically not receiving rewards when finishing missions.
That is as a result of capability of the servers not being ample to deal with the excessive site visitors that hit the sport resulting from its sudden recognition.
Arrowhead Sport Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt took to his personal X (previously Twitter) account to clarify the scenario and apologize for the disruptions+.
Pilestedt mentions that three hotfixes have already been deployed to enhance the scenario, however the servers’ connection price per minute is proscribed. Whereas this has been elevated from 10,000 to twenty,000, it is nonetheless not sufficient to deal with login calls for.
On prime 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.
Which means gamers will nonetheless get “Failed to hook up 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 problem of rewards has additionally been mitigated however not solved totally, and it will require extra server upkeep. Pilestedt mentions that rebooting the sport might assist.
With the apology, he mentions that the workforce is working onerous to make it proper. They’ll now get some sleep and proceed making an attempt within the morning.
Hey Everybody,
Thanks on your endurance through the server upkeep. With it we deployed three “rapid-fixes”
aimed toward enhancing the scenario with rewards typically 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 price limiter that denies
connections past a quantity per minute to forestall the whole system from failing. We managed to
enhance the speed restrict from 10,000/min to twenty,000/min and the whole capability of concurrent gamers was
elevated from 250,000 whole to 360,000 whole. This was nonetheless nonetheless not sufficient because the participant depend
jumped to 360k after 5 and half minutes.As such, the difficulty with login stays. If for any cause you get the “Failed to hook up with server”difficulty it
signifies that the utmost variety of login requests for that specific minute is exceeded and/or that
the servers are full and would require somebody to log 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 it will nonetheless not work as meant. When you get the difficulty you possibly can attempt rebooting the sport to
enhance the probabilities of it being reset. That is as a result of excessive site 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 workforce will get some
sleep and we will likely be again at this once more in just a few hours.Regards,
Johan
