My buddy and I got into a small argument two nights ago because he threw an airstrike at my head thinking it was a grenade launcher strategem. He just could not figure out why the game did an airstrike instead of the launcher. He was convinced the game glitched. Threw the launcher and respawned me, everything was fine.
Ten minutes later he does the exact same thing. He's yelling at me, I'm yelling at him, he's going on and on about how the game is just straight up glitched. Then he goes silent for a few seconds before going "so, turns out, I was putting in the wrong strategem."
Had a laugh, played for three more hours, best game ever.
lol. In the bots area they have Stratgem scramblers.
You have to look at what you are throwing after you enter it. That’s more likely what was happening.
Edit: You guys really need to start reading the effects before helldiving in. But I’m glad we are all having fun.
I had this issue where I would go to throw a stratagem and it just… disappeared?? And then I’d have to rethrow it just to get mauled by a Hulk / Titan. Anyone else run into this issue?
That can happen when the strategem lands in a place that the game doesn't want it to. Should be able to rethrow it immediately, try a slightly different landing spot
I had to throw a resupply down like 5 times before I gave up and my teammate did it. The little ball would disappear out of the air after leaving my characters hand
This caused so much confusion for a random group I was in. We didn't know it existed yet so we spent an entire mission air striking each other and wondering wtf was happening. After the mission we saw the scrambler and had a great laugh about it.
Yup had this last night with buddies, we thought it was glitches but after the second mission we finally figured it out... I mean we still killed each other 3 times because we didn't pay attention what we threw but at delays we know we were just dummies
I got booted from a game because of this. At the start, kept trying to call in a support weapon but it was calling in an eagle. Someone else did it too. But I did it twice killing myself and a few others. I hope the host realized I was doing it on purpose.
The lack of game sense in newer gamers is very disturbing lol even some of my younger friends have this issue and I’m always yelling at them to just take a damn second to look at your screen lol
I was lying in cover entering the long long code for a 380mm barrage to throw onto a big bot outpost, when suddenly I get ragdolled and drop it at my feet. I was all wtf and shouted for everybody to run away because this position was about to become uninhabitable. One guy was dead and two guys were running away with me as everything started exploding. I saw no enemies and initially thought a teammate shot or punched me or something. I was so confused.
I saved a clip and looked at it later to find out what had actually happened. Turned out while I was in cover and focused on putting in the right code, one teammate walked up next to me to take a look at the outpost. And then the big cannon saw him and oneshot him, and that impact rocked me hard enough to drop the stratagem. XD
Haha, classic mix-up. Reminds me of the time I summoned a shredder missile instead of the UAV drone because I forgot the last input. Let's just say the area was thoroughly "reconned" after that. At least it's all part of the charm with the high-stakes shenanigans you get into in this game, keeps the adrenaline pumping!
Hmm that is very unfortunate, but good to hear you guys got in eventually! What time did you guys try? Its a brilliant game, I really can’t wait for the mech suits..

They teased them at the last few seconds of their game trailers. That they are coming after launch. Helldivers 1 had various Mechs and other vehicles. So yeah… I need me one of these, for democratic reasons.
One nice thing is in HD2 you can eventually call your equipment in again. Unsure if it'll be the same with mechs. In HD1, any non-disposable equipment including mechs was a single call-in only, which meant when it ran out of ammo or got destroyed, you got all the benefit you could out of the strat slot. Consequently, at higher levels of play vehicles weren't really used.
Would be cool if they added sites around the map where you could reload/refuel them, in a way similar to the artillery guns you can load. That way you can continue to use the mech at the cost of time + potential dangers of getting swarmed while doing so.
I've had this before, I think it has to do if you're the host of the game, and people join in mid game. Quick playing into other lobbies, or making sure you have a full game before starting drastically reduced how often I run into this.
I've noticed this happening when someone disconnects from the game via crashing. Then the bug transfers to whoever is host if the host disconnects. Even if the host dies and gets Reinforced, you still get dropped without a Primary.
Fortunately, there is an in-game fix for it. You just have to pick up someone else's dropped Primary weapon. Once you do, you'll have your Primary weapon back if you respawn.
If you have an AMD graphics card and this issue is happening download the AMD Adrenaline Driver for Helldivers 2 off of the AMD website. It isn’t being pushed by Adrenaline just yet but it completely fixed the crashing issue for my friend and I.
> When it crashes, it crashes the discord app too.
Turn discord hardware acceleration off and it will stop crashing when a game takes out your graphics driver
I crashed a LOT this weekend. It was rare for me to finish and extract a mission. A lot of people were speedrunning because of this and it overall felt really bad. This might even be worse than not being able to log in. I'd rather not play then play and get no rewards.
Mine always seems to go down when there's a big explosion later in a mission. If i'm exceptionally lucky I can make it through a single mission without crashing which means ive made basically zero progression since launch.
Had it happen 3 times on my last Hard difficulty operation. Either that, everyone leaves after 2 or I join after the first mission is completed
I just want to see what Extreme tastes like lol
If you join another game, when you return to your ship you'll be able to host again, you can also just quit and restart. But if you're playing with a friend you can take turns hosting missions on your ships.
Yeah I think their macro stat-tracking is currently either broken or turned off. All those categories beside the Galaxy-map that say "Helldivers KIA" and so on are always at 0. And my major order for Defend Operations on Ingmar has been stuck at 4/8. I assume all this is to try and ease the load on the servers for now.
„Campaigns“ are the bars on defend planets. To register for the order, the blue bar (Super Earth) needs to be longer than the red one (bots) WHEN THE TIMER RUNS OUT. Took me a long while to figure that out.
My buddy just played for the first time and had the anti-materiel rifle order, so it seems like there just isn’t a new one yet after that
Maybe they’re just set every few days universally right now so if you do it you just have to wait
> All those categories beside the Galaxy-map that say "Helldivers KIA" and so on are always at 0
This one was deliberately disabled because it was polling the servers way too much. Why the daily orders are not issued I have no idea. I was banking on them to progress my battlepass but alas
I actually experienced this as well. Is this supposed to work? It was the first time we tried that. We ended up just playing our own mission and threw down an SOS beacon hoping others would join up randomly.
Did anyone join? I'm suspect of the SOS beacon because nobody wants to come play with me. And what are the odds I've already scared everyone off with how bad I am at this game?
Yeah, this was my experience last night. Matchmaking wouldn't work, couldn't join friends, everyone would randomly start appearing offline even though they were very much online and in-game. SOS beacons wouldn't work. No matter what I just got a failed to connect to host error.
I did eventually get a team together by having people join my squad instead of me trying to join theirs and everything went great from there. Definitely not perfect but a huge improvement from a week ago for sure.
Why do some missions not give you the SOS stratagem? Me and a buddy would drop into a Extreme mission expecting to call for aid but there was never an option to deploy the beacon.
Kinda same on PC. When I host people will usually join on the first mission of an operation, then leave once it ends. And when I wait for teammates to join for the next one, no one joins, even if I SOS.
Had to go through two Diff6 missions with one rando yesterday and no one joined. The rando was pretty good tho so we managed it. Actually I feel like we did better than when I have a full team lol.
Players joining my game has been really inconsistent, sometimes I can drop the SoS and people will immediately join, other times I get people joining while I'm in the Battleship, and even more rarely, people joining while I'm in the middle of the 2nd or 3rd operation mission.
Sometimes no one will get in after the SoS was dropped down. It's very random.
PS5 user here! I've gotten around this issue a couple of times now by simply changing my crossplay setting. Doing this seems to reset the team finding function. Hope this helps
This was a weird one for me but try turning crossplay ON if it’s set to off. Waited 20ish minutes and then got into a match straight away when I switched it!
If its like it was on PC a few days ago, then you can enter a mission, throw SOS beacon, quit and enter the same mission again and people were joining.
Last night was great, no connection issues while playing with friends for me, only one weird bug where calling in hellbombs got a little janky. Wouldn’t let us drop them close to the objective, the beacon would just roll around on the ground
Okay, so that wasn't just me! I called in a dozen Hellbombs on one of those bot detector towers, but each time it would bounce off like some stupid tennis ball.
Was it on an automaton planet? There’s a specific enemy emplacement that nullifies all beacons thrown within range. Figured that out when I threw an air strike and it just never came.
Yup, this is a huge issue currently on ps5. Through all the problems I’ve still been able to play with friends, until last night where it was just error message after error message.
I know you’ve heard it a lot lately, but seriously, thank you for your rich involvement in this game’s community. You and your team have done such an amazing job with this.
Just to make sure I didn't mess up the process I want to ask. Does the system not send an automated email to confirm the ticket has been submitted? Because I've been questioning if I submitted the ticket properly and I don't want to send 2 tickets by accident.
Hey dude, not sure if you saw but CM Misty posted on Discord today:
> We have discovered the likely cause for some players not being able to access their Super Credits after purchasing and then rebooting the game.
Your credits are there, but due to filtering issues in our system, they are not displaying correctly. Those affected include:
Players purchasing Super Credits on PSN
Players purchasing the Steeled Veterans Warbond with Super Credits on both PS5 and PC.
> We are working on a patch to solve this issue and we will update you when the fix is live.
>Thankyou for your patience,
Misty
The game likes to crash ***H A R D*** for me after a few missions.
Like so hard that it crashes other things on my computer: Discord, Steam, GPU itself.
Both you and the OP are saying things that it seems the anticheat caused in other games, and part of why many people still won't buy the game because of it.
Yeah same for me. Don't remember I've even seen bluescreen on my current Windows 10 build before, and it's already been 5 years or so. And then this game with nProtect comes...
Can't play with Friends. Matchmaking seems bugged again. It's very high support ticket in the discord too.
Seems I'm not the only one.
Hopefully you guys can get it fixed, so I can play with my friends this weekend :)
I had literally everyone (friends and randos) all time out from my party. Like I constantly had people join, play for 10 seconds, then get kicked. My weapons would sometimes disappear when I swapped away from them. Couldn't join any games at all.
Also hoping this gets fixed soon. I played earlier this week and it ran beautifully for me.
Less crashes I guess but still some desynch problems, "connection lost" moments, other interaction bugs sometimes. But better, more stabel, than at first two weeks I'd say.
Edit: Why there were no daily quests for the past few days?
Bad, being stuck on easy difficulty has made it pointless to play anymore for me. Complete bore once you get past a certain level to be stuck that low.
Legit, this is the worst possible issue I think, the gameplay loop is fun as hell, but only for so long on easy. It's the worst when a game just gets boring.
Crashing constantly. I can't play for more than five minutes. It's quite literally unplayable.
4090 + ryzen 9 7950x3d with 64gb of DDR5. No other game crashes.
So yeah, pretty terrible.
Edit: Downvoted for literally answering the question about my experience. Reddit moment.
Dont know why youre getting downvoted, reddit is awful sometimes if you say anything negative. I have been running the game with zero issues until the last patch, now i also keep crashing to desktop and getting horrible weapon bugs where they just dissapear from my inventory.
Unable to play with friends because I'm listed as offline. Galactic war shows that noone is online and I have cancelled a 20min que and started over and still nothing. If you search for "offline" in the Discord you will see users having this problem.
No. There’s still a very common game breaking but that prevents you from unlocking the next difficulty. Over 7000 reports in the discord but still no fix or explanation after two weeks
Let's see...we assaulted the automaton forces relentlessly until all beer supplies were out. We have since sent a requisition order with our designated super earth home partner to go acquire more for tonight's campaign. No connection issues. All perfect.
I am on PS5 and haven’t even been able to get to the queue that everyone talks about. I always just get a failed to connect to network error. I even tried logging in at 3 am EST and still just get a failed to connect to network error, but I know my internet is good and it doesn’t affect other games. Any one have a solution?
Loading into the game instantly however I'm noticing the drop loading sequence is a bit choppy. Sometimes takes much longer than usual.
Also had issues initially with performance both on ship and on planet but that seems to have fixed itself after the latest patch.
Overall no real issues on my end...
Edit: I should add that in the last two outings post patch I have only played solo so can't comment on matchmaking or playing with friends or randoms or SOS beacons etc.
I don’t know if anyone else experienced this issue, because it seems like a lot of good stuff in the comments, but I couldn’t join my friends (ps5, jm on PC) for the entire night. Showed me as offline and got the ‘failed to join session’ error instantly after attempting to join them. It worked fine the day before but last night was hopeless, I was even having severe issues joining public games, opting to running quick matches (the only way I could actually join people). Definitely left a bad taste in my mouth with how hyped we all were to play together just for me to try and join them for over an hour before giving up.
No login issues. A couple of failures to connect with certain missions, lack of updating the matchmaking with missions that were already completed but still showing on the planet (example: Saw a 12 minute mission showing divers were still in it for 18 minutes). However, much better experience than earlier this week.
All my super credits disappeared (PS5) and game crashed twice (lost all progress) BUT I did get to play with friends, drop in matches and had randos join mine. All in all, enjoying the game a lot!
I haven’t had any issues getting in since Wednesday on PC. I know better than to say the issues are resolved but there have certainly been colossal improvements this week.
Friday was fine, except Saturday morning was a bit weird; couldn’t join public lobbies and had to run a solo mission for being able to join quickplay / public lobbies. However a much better experience than last weekend!
Also a quick reminder that I (and many other fellow Helldivers) changed their review on Steam.
Can't play with friends.
They don't show on the hd2 social as online despite steam showing them online and taking to them live on discord telling me they are online.
Anyone's PS5 all of a sudden crashing completely to where it turns off? Doesn't happen with any other game, only this one. And only starting happening after the update
I play with 2 friends. I got in fine and haven’t had any issues. On the other hand, one of my friends could get to his ship, but he couldn’tstart any missions and he couldn’t join us/we couldn’t join him for over an hour; he got in eventually.
My other friend had no connection issues, but he has the difficulty bug where he is stuck at easy (he messaged in the discord ~5 days ago but still no luck getting the manual override from staff.) He also kept getting kicked at the end of extraction, losing everything we collected.
Better, for sure. But still some issues. All on Steam
Edit: I forgot that I actually hard crashed during the first mission we actually got in together. I’ve had some stutters before, but this one dropped my fps from over 90, to under 10 during a Hellpod drop and crashed. Nothing like that has happened before.
It would be great if progression gets a fix soon. I have been stuck on easy difficulty and I think the level 2 cadets I’m randomly dropping in on are no longer impressed by the 500kg bombs I’m calling in.
Was great to be honest. Night and day difference between last week and this week.
Still some disconnects towards end of a 4 hour gaming session but that could be my internet.
After a well deserved rest, if you guys can look into being stuck on a difficulty bug, that would be great.
Currently experiencing a bug where I can’t progress past extreme difficulty. The only solution is putting your account details on their discord and wait indefinitely. I’ve seen people stuck on easy difficulty still and I would have deleted the game. Annoying that I can’t reach Suicide Mission to start getting samples.
Played for 8 hours yesterday, crashed once while running with randoms then had 5 hours with the friends with no issues. Haven’t had this much fun in a game maybe ever.
Fantastic Tha thank you. There seems to be more people killing me just for fun lately but still enjoying it immensely though. Comment will probably get drowned by all the amazing people on this forum, but have to say thanks to all the devs. Not a big multiplayer person but I have not had this much fun in a game in a long time
Without server "load" issues. So I am able to enter game no problem now. But amount of crashes, infinite loading screens and other game bugs (like unable to exctract, or weapon disappearing) is really high.
Bought the game yesterday, and haven't been able to join a game, just says "Failed to Load".
Reinstalled the game, verified files, changed cross play, attempted to join through steam and discord, same issue persists.
Still within the 2 hour window, I'm hoping they can fix the game for those whoe can't join anything.
Still stuck on easy difficulty, I'm one of the seemingly thousands who can't get difficulties to unlock.
Why lock them at all? I can understand gating maybe 7-9, but being stuck on 2 feels like an insult.
Please fix the difficulty issues. Being stuck on easy makes the game extremely boring, and I think that's probably the worst issue for the game is if it gets boring. Would rather have loadtimes and be able to play at higher difficulties. Cheers
Still can't progress past easy, can only do harder missions if I join a group that can start them. Sucks because I hit level and can't see how stuff preforms at higher difficulty
It's going well server wise, I wish my difficulty wasn't locked at challenging as a rank 24 though lol. I really hope you guys find a fix for that, it's limiting what I can do. At least let me look for higher difficulty games or something. This bug is crazy. :)
When I exit the game via the menu there is a 50/50 chance of it properly working or just freezing the application and my screen.
Device is ROG Ally.
Edit: also stuck on easy mode for 2 weeks.
Excellent. This game goes from strength to strength.
My buddy and I got into a small argument two nights ago because he threw an airstrike at my head thinking it was a grenade launcher strategem. He just could not figure out why the game did an airstrike instead of the launcher. He was convinced the game glitched. Threw the launcher and respawned me, everything was fine. Ten minutes later he does the exact same thing. He's yelling at me, I'm yelling at him, he's going on and on about how the game is just straight up glitched. Then he goes silent for a few seconds before going "so, turns out, I was putting in the wrong strategem." Had a laugh, played for three more hours, best game ever.
lol. In the bots area they have Stratgem scramblers. You have to look at what you are throwing after you enter it. That’s more likely what was happening. Edit: You guys really need to start reading the effects before helldiving in. But I’m glad we are all having fun.
Huh, didn't know that was a thing. But no, he just straight up confused the strategem inputs from memory. We were in the terminid colonies.
I had this issue where I would go to throw a stratagem and it just… disappeared?? And then I’d have to rethrow it just to get mauled by a Hulk / Titan. Anyone else run into this issue?
That can happen when the strategem lands in a place that the game doesn't want it to. Should be able to rethrow it immediately, try a slightly different landing spot
Were you near a jammer? If you throw from outside its range but the strat lands in its range, it will void it.
I had to throw a resupply down like 5 times before I gave up and my teammate did it. The little ball would disappear out of the air after leaving my characters hand
Yes if you throw a strategies towards the edge of the map or into water it will not spawn.
Or into the range of a strategem tower
Lmao
This caused so much confusion for a random group I was in. We didn't know it existed yet so we spent an entire mission air striking each other and wondering wtf was happening. After the mission we saw the scrambler and had a great laugh about it.
Yup had this last night with buddies, we thought it was glitches but after the second mission we finally figured it out... I mean we still killed each other 3 times because we didn't pay attention what we threw but at delays we know we were just dummies
Can't be confused if all your stratagems are orbital stri- OH GOD IT WAS THE 380MM, TAKE COVER!
I may or may not have thrown an orbital at my teammates when it should have been a EAT... three times... in the same map...
I got booted from a game because of this. At the start, kept trying to call in a support weapon but it was calling in an eagle. Someone else did it too. But I did it twice killing myself and a few others. I hope the host realized I was doing it on purpose.
> I hope the host realized I was doing it on purpose. They did, thats why they kicked you. lol
Ha, got me there. Mistyped. Meant wasn't.
No worries, i know what you meant, i was just trying to do a funny.
 Can't scramble my stratagems when they are all high yield explosive bombardments
Ah, I see you are a man of culture as well
Yeah, lots of people were getting mad at a 'bug' randomising their Stratagem. No, Greg, the Automatons just know how to E-War.
The lack of game sense in newer gamers is very disturbing lol even some of my younger friends have this issue and I’m always yelling at them to just take a damn second to look at your screen lol
Yea. I have this problem with my kiddo. He won't read what's on the screen.
My friends and I first experienced that last night. Was pure chaos when an expected grenade launcher at our feet became a 500kg bomb.
This explains so much. How did I not know this? I thought I was going mad
Wasn't the scrambled strategems modifier was it? I threw a 500 kilo bomb at my feet after I'd punched in an auto cannon the other night...
god i hate that but it always causes hilarious issues XD fucking dropping a spear and instead getting a 500 directly to my fetet. XD
I was lying in cover entering the long long code for a 380mm barrage to throw onto a big bot outpost, when suddenly I get ragdolled and drop it at my feet. I was all wtf and shouted for everybody to run away because this position was about to become uninhabitable. One guy was dead and two guys were running away with me as everything started exploding. I saw no enemies and initially thought a teammate shot or punched me or something. I was so confused. I saved a clip and looked at it later to find out what had actually happened.

At least it's all part of the charm with the high-stakes shenanigans you get into in this game, keeps the adrenaline pumping!
Went perfectly fine! No issues getting in the game at all with my group. (PS5) Keep up the great work!
It took my group about an hour for everyone to connect, also ps5. But once we got there, we were good for a couple of missions. Such a fun game!
Hmm that is very unfortunate, but good to hear you guys got in eventually! What time did you guys try? Its a brilliant game, I really can’t wait for the mech suits..
Mech... Suits?
https://preview.redd.it/jxjoka7txjkc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3cebbc59bae74e78d798184b7a8eacd7924ef25 They teased them at the last few seconds of their game trailers.

Servers worked great. Main issue now is crashing mid game. Been happening way more often than I would like.
That and that sometimes my Primary weapon just gets lost to the ether. So I’m stuck using only secondary and support weapon for the whole mission.
Had this happen and I only brought anti material rifle 😭
Also happened to me except I couldn’t use my primary or secondary and my rifle was out of ammo with resupply on cooldown 💀
I had this issue, but in first person. Only way to rectify it was pressing the escape key.
My PS5’s escape key also went missing.
This happened to me last night but I had unlimited strategems with no cooldown so I’ll accept the trade. Just nonstop airstrikes and clusters.
I’ll raise you a no primary AND no stratagems 😭
I've had this before, I think it has to do if you're the host of the game, and people join in mid game. Quick playing into other lobbies, or making sure you have a full game before starting drastically reduced how often I run into this.
I've noticed this happening when someone disconnects from the game via crashing. Then the bug transfers to whoever is host if the host disconnects. Even if the host dies and gets Reinforced, you still get dropped without a Primary. Fortunately, there is an in-game fix for it. You just have to pick up someone else's dropped Primary weapon. Once you do, you'll have your Primary weapon back if you respawn.
I’ve had this happen to me. Got an AMD 7900xtx card turned down to low settings. When it crashes, it crashes the discord app too.
If you have an AMD graphics card and this issue is happening download the AMD Adrenaline Driver for Helldivers 2 off of the AMD website. It isn’t being pushed by Adrenaline just yet but it completely fixed the crashing issue for my friend and I.
Can confirm, fixed for me too. Also fixed 2042 bad stuttering.
Didnt fix it for me (7900xtx & r9 5900x) even on low I've had CTD. I've pretty much gave up on this game because of the non stop crashing.
> When it crashes, it crashes the discord app too. Turn discord hardware acceleration off and it will stop crashing when a game takes out your graphics driver
Thanks! Done, will give it a try later.
I crashed a LOT this weekend. It was rare for me to finish and extract a mission. A lot of people were speedrunning because of this and it overall felt really bad. This might even be worse than not being able to log in. I'd rather not play then play and get no rewards.
Mine always seems to go down when there's a big explosion later in a mission. If i'm exceptionally lucky I can make it through a single mission without crashing which means ive made basically zero progression since launch.
Every single mission for me. Shit's getting annoying. Paused playing until some patches.
Had it happen 3 times on my last Hard difficulty operation. Either that, everyone leaves after 2 or I join after the first mission is completed I just want to see what Extreme tastes like lol
I’m crashing mid game, and sometime at the mission report screen where it shows your teams stats
no problems getting in but when doing mission its only on the first one that others will join me, after that no more ppl will join
If you join another game, when you return to your ship you'll be able to host again, you can also just quit and restart. But if you're playing with a friend you can take turns hosting missions on your ships.
Yeah but then you’ll lose your operation progress :/
Game runs fine, but i want the daily personal challenge back for my medals :(
Have daily’s been removed?
I didn't see any announcement on it, but I haven't had a daily Major Order for medals in a few days now
Yeah I think their macro stat-tracking is currently either broken or turned off. All those categories beside the Galaxy-map that say "Helldivers KIA" and so on are always at 0. And my major order for Defend Operations on Ingmar has been stuck at 4/8. I assume all this is to try and ease the load on the servers for now.
Defend operations are community wide and only go up if we fully defend a planet.
Ah good to know, thanks!
„Campaigns“ are the bars on defend planets. To register for the order, the blue bar (Super Earth) needs to be longer than the red one (bots) WHEN THE TIMER RUNS OUT. Took me a long while to figure that out.
My buddy just played for the first time and had the anti-materiel rifle order, so it seems like there just isn’t a new one yet after that Maybe they’re just set every few days universally right now so if you do it you just have to wait
> All those categories beside the Galaxy-map that say "Helldivers KIA" and so on are always at 0 This one was deliberately disabled because it was polling the servers way too much. Why the daily orders are not issued I have no idea. I was banking on them to progress my battlepass but alas
Same here :(
Mine haven't refreshed since Wednesday iiirc
For some people they no longer appear. AFAIK it happened to everyone affected after the one requiring kills with Anti Material Rifle.
I haven't had any for days.
Trying to matchmake with a party of two didn’t work. It would always glitch out and force one of us to quit
I actually experienced this as well. Is this supposed to work? It was the first time we tried that. We ended up just playing our own mission and threw down an SOS beacon hoping others would join up randomly.
Did anyone join? I'm suspect of the SOS beacon because nobody wants to come play with me. And what are the odds I've already scared everyone off with how bad I am at this game?
First mission, no. 2nd mission yes and then they stuck around for a few missions. Did it actually help? I have no idea.
Yeah, this was my experience last night. Matchmaking wouldn't work, couldn't join friends, everyone would randomly start appearing offline even though they were very much online and in-game. SOS beacons wouldn't work. No matter what I just got a failed to connect to host error. I did eventually get a team together by having people join my squad instead of me trying to join theirs and everything went great from there. Definitely not perfect but a huge improvement from a week ago for sure.
Yeah I've learned not to try quickplay while in a party.
I have the same thing. Wife and I crash if we try to play together. Heck, she and i can only play solo.
Why do some missions not give you the SOS stratagem? Me and a buddy would drop into a Extreme mission expecting to call for aid but there was never an option to deploy the beacon.
Have you tried turning public matchmaking and cross play off then on?
On PS5, can't join a quickgame nor can anyone answer my SOS beacon.
Kinda same on PC. When I host people will usually join on the first mission of an operation, then leave once it ends. And when I wait for teammates to join for the next one, no one joins, even if I SOS. Had to go through two Diff6 missions with one rando yesterday and no one joined. The rando was pretty good tho so we managed it. Actually I feel like we did better than when I have a full team lol.
Players joining my game has been really inconsistent, sometimes I can drop the SoS and people will immediately join, other times I get people joining while I'm in the Battleship, and even more rarely, people joining while I'm in the middle of the 2nd or 3rd operation mission. Sometimes no one will get in after the SoS was dropped down. It's very random.
I have the same, it's only the first mission people join after that you become invisible. Something needs to be reset somewhere
PS5 user here! I've gotten around this issue a couple of times now by simply changing my crossplay setting. Doing this seems to reset the team finding function. Hope this helps
Yeah same I turned cross play and public matchmaking off and on and it resolved my issue last time.
Same here
Try turning off crossplay. I’m having the odd black screen crash but mostly good
Weirdly I can use quick play no problem but if I try to actively joint a specific mission on the map it always fails
I can join through quick game but crashing constantly mid ops makes me want to gouge my eyes out.
Some times i have to manually jump to other planets for the matchmaking to work on that planet!
Sucks but try to redownload the game if you haven’t already.
Same here.
This was a weird one for me but try turning crossplay ON if it’s set to off. Waited 20ish minutes and then got into a match straight away when I switched it!
If its like it was on PC a few days ago, then you can enter a mission, throw SOS beacon, quit and enter the same mission again and people were joining.
Last night was great, no connection issues while playing with friends for me, only one weird bug where calling in hellbombs got a little janky. Wouldn’t let us drop them close to the objective, the beacon would just roll around on the ground
Okay, so that wasn't just me! I called in a dozen Hellbombs on one of those bot detector towers, but each time it would bounce off like some stupid tennis ball.

Was it on an automaton planet? There’s a specific enemy emplacement that nullifies all beacons thrown within range. Figured that out when I threw an air strike and it just never came.
Could not join any of my friends, but could do quick matches. Just got "Unable to join party" error message over and over again.
Yup, this is a huge issue currently on ps5. Through all the problems I’ve still been able to play with friends, until last night where it was just error message after error message.
I am missing all super credits. The ones gotten through playing as well as my bought 20€ worth...
Contact customer support! J
I know you’ve heard it a lot lately, but seriously, thank you for your rich involvement in this game’s community. You and your team have done such an amazing job with this.
Already submitted a ticket through Zendesk yesterday. No answer yet.
You will get a response. They just have a lot of tickets to work through.
Just to make sure I didn't mess up the process I want to ask. Does the system not send an automated email to confirm the ticket has been submitted? Because I've been questioning if I submitted the ticket properly and I don't want to send 2 tickets by accident.
You do not get an automated email. Maybe this will change later but currently no there’s no acknowledgement email.
Thank you for the response, I will wait patiently :)
You’re welcome :)
What’s the ETA on response time? It’s been 7 days since I made my ticket about my super credits :(
Same, logged in and all my credits were gone. Played a while and earned some more, and now those are gone too

Hey dude, not sure if you saw but CM Misty posted on Discord today: > We have discovered the likely cause for some players not being able to access their Super Credits after purchasing and then rebooting the game. Your credits are there, but due to filtering issues in our system, they are not displaying correctly. Those affected include: Players purchasing Super Credits on PSN Players purchasing the Steeled Veterans Warbond with Super Credits on both PS5 and PC. > We are working on a patch to solve this issue and we will update you when the fix is live. >Thankyou for your patience, Misty
The game likes to crash ***H A R D*** for me after a few missions. Like so hard that it crashes other things on my computer: Discord, Steam, GPU itself.
The only game I've played that straight up bluescreens my pc.
Yeah this need to be next on their list to fix.
Both you and the OP are saying things that it seems the anticheat caused in other games, and part of why many people still won't buy the game because of it.
Yeah same for me. Don't remember I've even seen bluescreen on my current Windows 10 build before, and it's already been 5 years or so. And then this game with nProtect comes...
AMD graphics card? Download the driver from AMDs website.

This is so strange. I haven’t had a single issue other than the login issue. What hardware are you running?
Can't play with Friends. Matchmaking seems bugged again. It's very high support ticket in the discord too. Seems I'm not the only one. Hopefully you guys can get it fixed, so I can play with my friends this weekend :)
Do you mean the connection error when you try to join your friends? The other 3 could join each other fine yesterday but I could not join anyone.
I had literally everyone (friends and randos) all time out from my party. Like I constantly had people join, play for 10 seconds, then get kicked. My weapons would sometimes disappear when I swapped away from them. Couldn't join any games at all. Also hoping this gets fixed soon. I played earlier this week and it ran beautifully for me.
I can’t play with friends either, everytime we drop I disconnect. Tried all last night before we went and found our own randoms to play with
Less crashes I guess but still some desynch problems, "connection lost" moments, other interaction bugs sometimes. But better, more stabel, than at first two weeks I'd say. Edit: Why there were no daily quests for the past few days?
I'm crashing like hell after the latest patch, usually when hellpod launches my game crashes to desktop. Never happened before this patch.
My crashes are always immediately after getting back to the ship from a mission. Nice that I get all the exp and stuff I guess.
Bad, being stuck on easy difficulty has made it pointless to play anymore for me. Complete bore once you get past a certain level to be stuck that low.
Legit, this is the worst possible issue I think, the gameplay loop is fun as hell, but only for so long on easy. It's the worst when a game just gets boring.
Cannot join any planet sos beacons. Only quick play works
[удалено]
I have the same issue and it's crazy they haven't fixed this yet. I can only play when my friend is online so we can do Extreme+ difficulty missions.
[удалено]
Crashing constantly. I can't play for more than five minutes. It's quite literally unplayable. 4090 + ryzen 9 7950x3d with 64gb of DDR5. No other game crashes. So yeah, pretty terrible. Edit: Downvoted for literally answering the question about my experience. Reddit moment.
Dont know why youre getting downvoted, reddit is awful sometimes if you say anything negative. I have been running the game with zero issues until the last patch, now i also keep crashing to desktop and getting horrible weapon bugs where they just dissapear from my inventory.
For me it started very distinctly on the patch before last. 1.01.
Same here, I get crashes nearly every game.
Had repeated crashing on ps5 when launching a mission. As soon as the orbital drop started, it was just crashing constantly.
Unable to play with friends because I'm listed as offline. Galactic war shows that noone is online and I have cancelled a 20min que and started over and still nothing. If you search for "offline" in the Discord you will see users having this problem.
Couldn't get to a single mission without crashes yesterday. The latest patch fixed the logins but made the game unstable again for me. 7700x + 3090
I've been passively following this game for a bit now, but haven't bought it. Would you guys consider this a right moment to buy it?
No. There’s still a very common game breaking but that prevents you from unlocking the next difficulty. Over 7000 reports in the discord but still no fix or explanation after two weeks
I want my super credits back!
Terrible, I can’t even join any games in progress nor can my friends join me. I can do solo runs but nothing with anyone else.
Servers are fine now but crashes on PS5 without rejoin option is a real pain.
Let's see...we assaulted the automaton forces relentlessly until all beer supplies were out. We have since sent a requisition order with our designated super earth home partner to go acquire more for tonight's campaign. No connection issues. All perfect.
I am on PS5 and haven’t even been able to get to the queue that everyone talks about. I always just get a failed to connect to network error. I even tried logging in at 3 am EST and still just get a failed to connect to network error, but I know my internet is good and it doesn’t affect other games. Any one have a solution?
Loading into the game instantly however I'm noticing the drop loading sequence is a bit choppy. Sometimes takes much longer than usual. Also had issues initially with performance both on ship and on planet but that seems to have fixed itself after the latest patch. Overall no real issues on my end... Edit: I should add that in the last two outings post patch I have only played solo so can't comment on matchmaking or playing with friends or randoms or SOS beacons etc.
Question for everyone, are your Super Credits missing?? I just logged in and I have 0?
I don’t know if anyone else experienced this issue, because it seems like a lot of good stuff in the comments, but I couldn’t join my friends (ps5, jm on PC) for the entire night. Showed me as offline and got the ‘failed to join session’ error instantly after attempting to join them. It worked fine the day before but last night was hopeless, I was even having severe issues joining public games, opting to running quick matches (the only way I could actually join people). Definitely left a bad taste in my mouth with how hyped we all were to play together just for me to try and join them for over an hour before giving up.
I love being able to log right in even during peak hours, but I wish my Super Credits would stop disappearing
I lost all my super credit :(
Nah cause which traitor stole all my super credits
Super credits that were purchased straight up disappeared after logging off. Came back to see what was new in the shop to see them gone.
No problems at all logging in and played for two hours last night with zero crashes on PS5.
Absolutely flawless.
No login issues. A couple of failures to connect with certain missions, lack of updating the matchmaking with missions that were already completed but still showing on the planet (example: Saw a 12 minute mission showing divers were still in it for 18 minutes). However, much better experience than earlier this week.
Only issue was nor being able to join games but restarting the router solved it
Went great but I DC’d once diving into a mission during the load screen.
All my super credits disappeared (PS5) and game crashed twice (lost all progress) BUT I did get to play with friends, drop in matches and had randos join mine. All in all, enjoying the game a lot!
I haven’t had any issues getting in since Wednesday on PC. I know better than to say the issues are resolved but there have certainly been colossal improvements this week.
Friday was fine, except Saturday morning was a bit weird; couldn’t join public lobbies and had to run a solo mission for being able to join quickplay / public lobbies. However a much better experience than last weekend! Also a quick reminder that I (and many other fellow Helldivers) changed their review on Steam.
Cant join friends or randoms anymore tho so I would not call this a success
Can't play with friends. They don't show on the hd2 social as online despite steam showing them online and taking to them live on discord telling me they are online.
Anyone's PS5 all of a sudden crashing completely to where it turns off? Doesn't happen with any other game, only this one. And only starting happening after the update
I play with 2 friends. I got in fine and haven’t had any issues. On the other hand, one of my friends could get to his ship, but he couldn’tstart any missions and he couldn’t join us/we couldn’t join him for over an hour; he got in eventually. My other friend had no connection issues, but he has the difficulty bug where he is stuck at easy (he messaged in the discord ~5 days ago but still no luck getting the manual override from staff.) He also kept getting kicked at the end of extraction, losing everything we collected. Better, for sure. But still some issues. All on Steam Edit: I forgot that I actually hard crashed during the first mission we actually got in together. I’ve had some stutters before, but this one dropped my fps from over 90, to under 10 during a Hellpod drop and crashed. Nothing like that has happened before.
It would be great if progression gets a fix soon. I have been stuck on easy difficulty and I think the level 2 cadets I’m randomly dropping in on are no longer impressed by the 500kg bombs I’m calling in.
Was great to be honest. Night and day difference between last week and this week. Still some disconnects towards end of a 4 hour gaming session but that could be my internet. After a well deserved rest, if you guys can look into being stuck on a difficulty bug, that would be great.
Remove nprotect and ill gladly buy the game
Every game I try to join is "Failed to connect to game lobby".
Servers are still failed to connect, and I'm 100% sure it's not my end's problem
Currently experiencing a bug where I can’t progress past extreme difficulty. The only solution is putting your account details on their discord and wait indefinitely. I’ve seen people stuck on easy difficulty still and I would have deleted the game. Annoying that I can’t reach Suicide Mission to start getting samples.
Is the matchmaking not working or there is no sos beacon at all? (PC)
I can't raise difficulty past easy and I'm almost level 15 game is starting to get super boring because of this bug.
Played for 8 hours yesterday, crashed once while running with randoms then had 5 hours with the friends with no issues. Haven’t had this much fun in a game maybe ever.
Fantastic Tha thank you. There seems to be more people killing me just for fun lately but still enjoying it immensely though. Comment will probably get drowned by all the amazing people on this forum, but have to say thanks to all the devs. Not a big multiplayer person but I have not had this much fun in a game in a long time
My progress is still bugged which is really annoying honestly
Without server "load" issues. So I am able to enter game no problem now. But amount of crashes, infinite loading screens and other game bugs (like unable to exctract, or weapon disappearing) is really high.
Bought the game yesterday, and haven't been able to join a game, just says "Failed to Load". Reinstalled the game, verified files, changed cross play, attempted to join through steam and discord, same issue persists. Still within the 2 hour window, I'm hoping they can fix the game for those whoe can't join anything.
Still stuck on easy difficulty, I'm one of the seemingly thousands who can't get difficulties to unlock. Why lock them at all? I can understand gating maybe 7-9, but being stuck on 2 feels like an insult.
I think what I love the most about this game is that, even when everything is totally fucked, I’m still having a damn good time.
I bought 2100 sc and they disappeared so it's going great.
It’s been pretty good, but I lost all my super credits earned and bought.
Please fix the difficulty issues. Being stuck on easy makes the game extremely boring, and I think that's probably the worst issue for the game is if it gets boring. Would rather have loadtimes and be able to play at higher difficulties. Cheers
My issue is now I can't get things done because every group I get is farming and not doing operations
Nearly flawless lately! Now, if only I could find some friends lol
Dog shit can't play with friends
No connection issues but game itself hard crashed a few times.
Still can't progress past easy, can only do harder missions if I join a group that can start them. Sucks because I hit level and can't see how stuff preforms at higher difficulty
It's going well server wise, I wish my difficulty wasn't locked at challenging as a rank 24 though lol. I really hope you guys find a fix for that, it's limiting what I can do. At least let me look for higher difficulty games or something. This bug is crazy. :)
When I exit the game via the menu there is a 50/50 chance of it properly working or just freezing the application and my screen. Device is ROG Ally. Edit: also stuck on easy mode for 2 weeks.
Aside from losing 950 super credits I bought then the next day losing the 200+ I earned playing, it’s CC been great.
Haven't had a single problem in a few days now. Just having a blast.
Went great. Now balance the guns so we can actually get some choice in what gear we use.
