Whereas Helldivers 2 has been fairly profitable on PS5 and PC since its latest launch, the trip has not been notably easy.
Gamers have been affected by widespread login points on prime of typically not receiving rewards when finishing missions.
That is because of the capability of the servers not being enough to deal with the excessive visitors that hit the sport because of its sudden reputation.
Arrowhead Sport Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt took to his private 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 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 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 connect with server” errors, however the adjustments made to the speed and peak limits ought to assist in at the least requiring fewer tries to log in efficiently.
The difficulty of rewards has additionally been mitigated however not solved totally, and it will require further server upkeep. Pilestedt mentions that rebooting the sport could assist.
With the apology, he mentions that the group is working arduous to make it proper. They are going to now get some sleep and proceed making an attempt within the morning.
Hey Everybody,
Thanks in your persistence throughout the server upkeep. With it we deployed three “rapid-fixes”geared toward bettering the scenario with rewards typically not being handed out correctly, login-issues, andserver capability.
To talk in technical phrases, our providers in addition to our accomplice providers have a fee limiter that deniesconnections past a quantity per minute to stop the whole system from failing. We managed toincrease the speed restrict from 10,000/min to twenty,000/min and the full capability of concurrent gamers wasincreased from 250,000 complete to 360,000 complete. This was nevertheless nonetheless not sufficient because the participant countjumped to 360k after 5 and half minutes.
As such, the difficulty with login stays. If for any motive you get the “Failed to connect with server”problem itmeans that the utmost variety of login requests for that exact minute is exceeded and/or thatthe servers are full and would require somebody to sign off earlier than permitting new gamers in. As mentionedabove, the elevated capability ought to require much less retries to get in.
As for the reward problem, the repair was mitigated however not resolved. And with out further servermaintenance this can nonetheless not work as meant. Should you get the difficulty you possibly can attempt rebooting the sport toincrease the possibilities of it being reset. That is because of the excessive visitors on the servers resulting in rewards notbeing tracked appropriately by our servers.
I do know the development problem is irritating, particularly for newer divers that need 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 group will get somesleep and we will likely be again at this once more in a number of hours.
Regards,
Johan
