Helldivers 2 reached over 457,000 concurrent players at its peak several days ago and hasn’t dipped below 100,000 in at least a week. Unfortunately, the servers simply can’t handle it, and given some players are sitting waiting to log in via queue for an hour, it’s no secret everyone wants in.
But while a fix may be on the horizon, Arrowhead is implementing an AFK timer to ensure players give others a fair turn. And if you’re taking a bathroom break, you really have to piss like you mean it, because it’s only about 15 minutes, according to the accompanying patch notes.
Pilestedt said on Twitter in reply to one concerned player. “I mean, as a CEO I of course want the game to be as profitable as possible, but if you spent yr last $ and got stuck in server queues I’d be ??”
Hopefully there’ll be a fix sooner than later to accommodate. Have you gotten a chance to get into Helldivers 2?
