skillzdadirecta Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I got in after five minutes... did a couple of missions with @Mercury33 and then the game crashed and kicked me out. I'm gonna eat, then try again in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I have yet to fail to just get into the game normally. Weird. Every time I open it, it plays just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 The dumb thing is it's not set up as a que, so it's not first come first serve. @ARZARZwas trying for like 2 hours and I got in after like 15 minutes. I joined a few higher level friends earlier today and did some Suicidal Difficulty Missions. I was lvl 16. It was a lot of fun, just non stop action and explosions everywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but I'm not sure that even that would necessarily alleviate the situation. What I do know is that the server concurrent population capacity was capped at 450K heading into the weekend per the developers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hard to recommend buying it right now anyway with the server issues. I bought the Super Citizen edition and I’m out here getting treated like an illegal trying to hop the border.

Keyser_Soze Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Mat Piscatella tweeted, and then deleted this: Quote From Circana's Player Engagement Tracker - Helldivers II has been a huge hit, but it's mostly coming from PC. Of daily active players on the respective platforms, nearly 1 in 4 US Steam players are now playing Helldivers 2, while fewer than 1 in 20 active PS5 players are playing. I'm not sure why, maybe it's not true? Or maybe Sony strong-armed him into deleting it. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinIon Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 After watching more of this it certainly has my attention. Hopefully the servers clear up enough to actually give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 My brothers and I are close to 100%ing Helldivers 1, we'll be going right into Helldivers 2 once we're finished, probably next week, hopefully by then any and all issues are mostly smoothed over.

atom631 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Yesterday I couldnt get into the game due to servers at capacity. Today Im getting the black screen error. Ive tried changing the "full screen" setting to false and even deleting the config file all together. No dice.

They were watching Max at the streamer awards and when he didn't win the fighting game category the rest of the show was too cringe to watch so they decided to fire up Helldivers 2 instead, and were greeted with the queue screen. From there he did some other stuff in the meantime, not just staring at the screen and then when Max won the other award he frantically turned back to watch that. I was really only watching for the Max thing otherwise it was on in the background. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Got on around 10pm last night. Game just loaded right up no problem. Tried fighting robots solo since it didn’t connect to anyone. Man that was a mistake. Game over within 5 minutes on medium. Went back to a bug planet and the game connected to 3 other players and I had a great time. Someone in the squad threw down a very badly placed napalm strike which hilariously killed 3 out of the 4 members. Couldn’t even be mad.
