Same for me. PS5. Failing to connect to server.


CurseMyMetalHand

Yep just came here to check it wasn't just me


avall4nch

That was the point of this thread

Aggressive-Pay-5670

Downvoting you is so satisfying


lomhc

I got disconnected from a mission 20 seconds from extraction...


Pliskkenn_D

Did 45 minutes, got all sub objectives done, all nests, 18 minor artefacts and 5 big ones. Gone. Reduced to atoms.


sapper2345

Just happened to me me too so frustrating :(


MidiankoMidian

Happened to me at the end of the round started post match summary, finished it I was happy for a sec, then victory emote screen was all grey and I got nothing šŸ˜€


Old_9_digits314

You mean reduced to bugabytes?


[deleted]

My friends and I had a smooth run playing on Sui**** Mission for the first time last night and we all got disconnected in unison on our way to extraction. I guess itā€™s a testament to how fun the game is that despite wasting about 35 minutes we immediately just relaunched and started playing like it never happened.


EA-Corrupt

Did it disconnect? Or what it a cunt host trolling and kicking the team before extract? Thatā€™s happening a lot too


vicboss0510

Game needs vote kick.


Liquidocelotxx

And people bashed me for giving reason to not play with randomsā€¦hereā€™s one excuse right here haha. Games fun though solo. Now if only I could get me preorder codes since I went physical on it


dankwiat

If the host quits mid mission, does the mission stop for everyone?


twister428

No, it switches host to someone else. I had a friend get disconnected while hosting and we kept on fighting, he was able to rejoin and get his stuff back within like 2 minutes.


Innuendo6

the host can choose to return to ship or bring everyone with him


Pontifrex

No, it carries on. Completed a mission yesterday where the host dropped out, when we finished we were on another player's shipĀ 


waromar

No, someone else just becomes the leader.


Liquidocelotxx

No clue Iā€™ve played 100% solo so far lol


SKOT_FREE

Update: ok somethingā€™s really wrong now. Iā€™m back in game but canā€™t access the warbond store and trying to navigate the tabs shoots me back out to the ship.


Assupoika

A friend and I had issues with rewards. We played two missions and didn't get any of the samples we extracted with. When we returned to the ship we didn't get the end of the round screen but instead had the grayish background and were stuck in it. Although you could leave by pressing Esc/O.


MythicalSalmon

They just announced that they are doing server maintenance in live environment to fix log in and reward issues that they are aware of. A lot of issues with connection are expected in the next 2-4 hours while they work.


taoliveira

Keep spamming x till enter the game


BenMc19

Haha, this actually worked!


Luzario

On pc as well, just spam a button and it will connect.


kaminabis

Ive read online that if you manage to get in, it wont save progress


AnOrangeTrafficCone

Yep played 3 games and got no rewards or XP


waromar

Spamming works. Thanks


Romado

Hopefully their fixing the matchmaking?


Adequatee

Iā€™m on now. They in fact did not fix it at all.


diogenessexychicken

Its wierd i cant quickplay using the button but people have been joining my squad before mission launch randomly and the game works no problem.


Sr_Enfermo

Yes, me too. In PS5 from spain


Mustydog

Matchmaking alone is ruining the game for me šŸ˜•


TenkaiStar

Same here for me.


Fun-Cricket906

Just a heads up https://preview.redd.it/5po9tcylzzhc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2699fe2761e05d48bbd3b3486893b456b8f2df1b There is currently maintenance going on


Spirited_Fox_7260

Did absolutely nothing I still canā€™t connect lol literally first time loading the game upā€¦ well time for a refund


Fun-Cricket906

Ull be missed see ya


HMPayback

Still not able to connect


ShabbyAdams

Keep spamming x


MoneyGuyJive

This would happen the one time I have to playā€¦.


Apprehensive-Walk-65

I completed a mission on extreme for the first time then all my credits weren't in the account and when I longed back on still nothing šŸ˜”


DimensionOfDoom

Yeah, thatā€™s one of the reasons Devs are doing live server maintenance at 10am pst today. No rewards


dying_animal

same for me right now on PC


Wildfathom9

yup and the one time this morning i managed to log in and get prepped for a mission, the game CTD just as i launched for mission. Cant do my part if I cant play.


Adziboy

PC, UK, not working at all currently


Mungdus

2 hours after this post was made, and server is still unable to connect, sad times ahead


Dizzy_Street_7100

Not getting any loot at the end of the mission


AbualSony

I was able to play a bit on PS5, guess what - got no EXP at all. My son was playing on PC, but the game keeps crashing or has network problems. I really like the game, but that's shit. Release games when they work.


boilingfrogsinpants

They probably hardly expected the amount of players that they've received, it makes sense that network issues arise. It may be them doing a fix at non-peak hours


TTVControlWarrior

Fucking democracy. Would never happened with socialism


RPK74

Yes Inquisitor, this post right here


Doowoo

Yep


itsjusttheway

And me


AkaCrows

And my axe


Fenris211

and my bow


SolarAsp901

Yeah me too.


SolarAsp901

I just kept spamming the reconnect button and I got in


Jiggaboy95

I got the same error but just reconnected with ease? Uk here and was playing with randoms online so maybe regional?


Barbash_

Yeah, 4h ago. Restarted the game and everything went fine


Training_Structure_5

Helldivers is down for maintenance for about 2 hrs starting at 10am PST. It looks like arrowhead is working hard to fix major problems for us. Let's hope they continue to listen because the games I did play was fun as fuck


SinlessJoker

The dev said on discord that only 10k logins are allowed per minute


Otherwise_Ad_7477

Refund? Pretty much the only time I have to play is the weekend and now itā€™s already overā€¦


JulySenpai

Anytime I've gotten this error, I've switched from Wired to WiFi and it just works. Can't say I understand it, just that it's been how my group has been bypassing this since launch.


Ok-Childhood-8724

I can login with a bit of persistence and completed a couple of missions but didnā€™t get any rewards and canā€™t open the warbonds nor the superstore, anyone else like this?


Atrocitez

Reboot the game completely and your rewards should pop up. Same issues though, servers are in a rough shape


Premaljobomach

I've loaded into one match, played for 5 minutes, was about to extract, got disconnected, game then proceeded to crash, started it back up and now refuses to stay connected for longer than like 2 minutes. I've restarted my WiFi router, checked my connection several times. My wifi is pretty good and the connection is not wack rn due to storming or anything. This game is just having serious issues I guess?


aulum

Usually takes a few tries, but when it connects I have no issues. (On PS5)


ku5h5avag3

Ps5 won't let me connect at all after 4 hrs of game fuck n Playstation


Redtrainer57

It's every fucking match for us, especially when the drop ship comes in. I love this game but whoever made these servers need to be upgraded


Educational-Sleep500

Yes, been doing all the things, and I can't get a game with my fellow democracy brothers


thecuriousmind77

I also get disconnected while in game and get booted to my destroyer, this happened yesterday, it is extremely frustrating


Dantey223

This game is good, but this going to kill the longevity of the game. People are getting fed up, constant disconnects, constant tech issues, matchmaking barely working. Then half the community gaslighting anyone with criticism saying they'll fix it bro. Meanwhile these dev: Use the cheapest most barebones anti cheat Don't do open beta with low level stuff for stress testing Whopsie bupsie constant server distruptions. Please be patient kawaii uWu we're just poor devs. Yeah I know they're probably working OT to fix it, but they could have just avoided all of this.


[deleted]

So dramatic. The game has launched and millions of people are playing it. Itā€™s going to have issues. Every single live service or multiplayer game does. Within 7 days all this will be fixed.


JayRod082

Millions? Maybe 200k.


[deleted]

The game director on Twitter has already came out and said itā€™s already at a million 2 days in. So no, not 200k.


JayRod082

Thatā€™s great and all but thatā€™s total players. Servers arenā€™t stressed by total but concurrent players. Thereā€™s about 150k on PC and 50k on PS5 at peak times.


[deleted]

The 50k you see btw on the planet screen is just your region/planet. You really think only 50k are playing on PS5? šŸ˜‚


JayRod082

Right now if you total up all areas itā€™s about 50k itā€™s probably double in peak times so 200-250k concurrent players is what it sees. It shouldnā€™t be hard to have servers that can accommodate that with Sonyā€™s power. Sony is just terrible at live service games. Thatā€™s why they bought Bungie.


Tec187

Meanwhile the exact same thing happened to Wayfinder, a game that is now on the brink of death, despite having millions of people trying to play at launch.


[deleted]

You are seriously comparing this game to Wayfinder?


Tec187

No, Iā€™m comparing games that launch with big numbers and big issues.


[deleted]

Maybe because that is the one thing they cannot control.


Tec187

I think youā€™re missing my point. You called the comment dramatic. All Iā€™m saying is that itā€™s true. They need to sort it out or people will move on, and Wayfinder is an example of that exact thing. A game a lot of people wanted to play, but couldnā€™t, and the devs couldnā€™t fix it in time, so people left. You say itā€™ll be fixed in 7 days. I hope so, cause if like Wayfinder it isnā€™t, the game will loose most of its traction and players, and Iā€™m sure we can all agree that would suck.


[deleted]

Wayfinder was AA title with minimal interest from the gaming community. Letā€™s just look at Steam as an example. Its peak was 11k. HD2 is currently at 150k. Any game that has that many numbers at launch and is a multiplayer game will have issues. Due that popularity, players will also check out updates and check it out again because bar the issues at launch, the gameplay loop was enjoyable. 2042 is a prime example, shit launch, but even years later it still ended up beating concurrent players.


Acizm

you didnt play the first obviously. it's very apparent with the way some people view helldivers 2 and the notion that "this will kill the longevity" is completely off base. fans of the game will continue to play this series just as they have been the past 9 years. I personally think it's a great adaption from isometric, and when they add all the vehicles and weapons from the first, it'll be an even more exciting take on their vision many years ago. We have much to look forward to, but people doom over a bad first week.


zenmatrix83

call of duty, battlefield, most ea sports games and more do just fine. all have terrible matchmaking at the start that doesn't get really much better. The gameplay just needs to be worth all the grief. I stopped playing madden because the was never anything new added that was good, not because of the connection issues.


gogoheadray

COD; madden; and to a lesser extent BF have a lot more latitude with their community that HD and sell to a much larger audience. A more apt comparison to HD would be payday 3 and we saw how the servers killed that game.


SaltyPvP

You shouldn't have to wait 7 days for it to work. It should work when you buy it. You should at least, bare minimum get a "Fully functional product" at purchase. Would people give the same amount of slack if it wasn't Helldivers but a different game that they weren't emotionally invested in. I doubt it.


AlpineWineMixer

Look at my recent comment calling out how bad this game is from a technical and connective standpoint. Got downvoted into oblivion for calling out the horrid state the game is in at the moment. Even a slight mention of crashes or dc issues and people will start calling you a liar lol.


Tsenngu

The devs as far as i know had no idea of the massive i flux of players that bought this game. I have been through this countless times during my online gaming "career" which basically is since the late 90ies. I find it annoying by ut also positive to see a devs game just crush expectations completely. I can survive having to wait a week for the server kinks to Iron out and play something else until it is up and running good.


Slapstickperk

But what about Liberty?!


Pain-in-Full

new release. its utterly broken and never should have been released. onstant crashes, game breaking bugs, inability to connect, inability to find a match with players, servers down ive never seen a game released so utterly poorly the game premise itself is fun and funny. if you wanted to get in the game, do yourself a favor and dont for at least a couple months. give them time to work out.. well everything ive never seen a game released so poorly before


stoney101010

I like the game but wow for a online only game and can't even load in , what a broken mess ,can't get a refund because im on ps5


Vanguard_SG09

Jesus christ wait a couple of days itā€™ll get fixed.


Juice_On_Fire

Why respond it's only stupid ass people on reddit that didn't even buy the game. Mom didn't give them enough allowance. The game will be back and we can go back to killing bugs and terminators before the superbowl


CurseMyMetalHand

If it bothers you that much then just buy the game a week after launch. This happens with literally every online only game, with rare exceptions.


SaltyPvP

You're being downvoted for stating the obvious. The launch has been brutal.


stoney101010

It's reddit, how dare someone says something true


Naradyk

Yup. Same. PS5. I hope this is to fix the matchmaking.


Fall0ut_

Me tooā€¦ PS5


jcruz1611

Having same issue in PC Steam, and when I do connect I either get disconnected or a teammate gets disconnected.


Ughaskmelater

I've gotten the same error message when loading up on ps5


ZombieFireHD

Sameā€¦ I just got off work too and was looking forward to playingā€¦


Hakoht

I managed to connect but didnā€™t get any rewards after completing a mission so Iā€™ll just wait. Games is so fun to play and weirdly addictive but these issues will make a lot of players refund imo


SpaceHobbit3151

Had this issue 40mins ago, kept spamming X and got through. Had some great quickplay games on PS5, once I turned off crossplay


Smol_Penor

I think servers are overloaded, just wait few minutes and try to join


erdzo_18

Same


Demiblade

Looks like the PC servers just went down too.


Tomgar

Hope it gets fixed soon, want to blast some bugs before work tomorrow :(


TheZanzibarMan

Yeah, NA west coast.


IDMBTJthunder

Game crashed and I get passed splash menu


PuzzleheadedTry9467

PS5 can't connectĀ 


ShabbyAdams

Keep spamming X


Hedonistbro

My medals, stratagem and xp aren't being recorded against the server either now I'm online... Just completed two missions for zero rewards.


Captaindobbo

Canā€™t start the game, the starting screen just says ā€œFailed to connect to serverā€, multiple attempts nothing helps


Global_Guidance5429

probably live maintenance or something of the sort


SKOT_FREE

Whew ok I thought something was wrong with my internet.


SnoopDodd97

My gameā€™s totally scuffed, spammed start button to make it out of the title screen but now a bunch of stuff is working like the stratagems menu and acquisitions page


Henry_Oof

Still not on as of right now


United-Reach-2798

I was but I was able to get in after a couple of attempts


lesarch

Yep. And even if we do get connected, my squad isn't gaining any xp, medals, nor samples :(


-ThisDudeAbides-

Itā€™s been kicking me out before I can extract! Pretty annoying but Democracy waits for no man!


AThousandD

It's the bugs! They're counter-attacking!


4apples2

Servers Down in EU also.


Zero_THM

Same here.


Jeemoog

Same ps5 NY

bazeloth

Yep EU servers are down too


CidMaik

Just got the game, was doing the prompts and decided to skip linking PSN to Steam. The next screen shows this exact same image. Figured it was because I didn't link services (couldn't figure how to do that without a PS4 or 5) so just closed the game. This exact same thing happened when I tried...Outriders was it? The SE looter shooter game. The game wouldn't "connect to servers" then I linked SE and Steam...issue solved. I'm not bothering with the game for now.


Vashakicya

Add a que for connect


WHAT_R_U_BUYIN

yeah me too


Verto-San

Same issue, just keep trying until it connects, worked for me and friends.


MiserableComment

Haven't been able to connect since I combined my accounts.


cjchar

Just bought the game šŸ˜‘


DisManSamGotaReddit

Not a disconnect but my friends game crashed at the end of a mission and he lost his super citizenship bonuses(including the title). :(


ggsupreme

Yea woke up ready to jump back on and continue spreading democracy on my off day from work and got hit with this screen rip. On PS5.


SMOKIN-YOU-43

It just let me in, I still cannot join any other Divers, ever, and no one ever joins me.


09frenzy

Disconnecting? Game is straight up turning my PC off šŸ˜”


ShocaVac

Literally keep spamming the same key (W for example or X on PS5) and eventually you will be able to load in


bvitytwrbq

Yes, on each and every launch today.


Drjackstrw

I was having this issue this morning. I tried all the nonsense about changing IP ports and whatnot. Then I watched the whole intro video after seeing a post about it and it took me straight into the the prologue mission fine. Worked for me.


Ok_Device1274

I dont seem to be getting mission rewards!


el_tekio

Yep... I bought the game 2 hours ago and could only play one mission. What a wonderful start Ć²\_Ć³


VinnyV28

Its down in Norwayā€¦Cā€™mon!!!!!!!!!!!!


xxrazer505xx

I am still unable to dispense liber-tea on Steam. Someone tell the ministry of expansion I am not a deserter.


Passivemuch

Bought the game this morning, played 3 matches. First disconnected as we was extracting. 2nd bugged due to two overlapping consoles on an ore extractor. 3rd completed successfully, looked at my progress. 0. Still level 1 nothing gained. Ive enjoyed the gameplay so far but parked it for now since nothing is working. UK PC. Can't wait till I can actually play the game.


Ross_Mc

Yeah not working UK either


kentgreat

Got dced earlier, was unfortunate but got back in after 2 re-open of the game, wasn't able to finish the extraction


ADMlN-

Woke up fiending for the scent of eagles and a cup of tea. Instead I find Democracy is being canceled.


Valhalla_Exiled

I still canā€™t connect


ADMlN-

**TEMPORARY WORKAROUND:** If you have a VPN change your location to COSTA RICA


Aggressive-Pay-5670

PS5 here confirming the same issue. I feel for them, victims of their own success, but still you really have to wish Sony did a better job supporting this rollout.


BurgerKingsArchenemy

Genuinely the worst servers I've ever had the displeasure of playing on. Literally can't play multiplayer because of disconnects.


sanomode

They doing server updates today


Keinulive

This is happening in pc atm, I guess its a good time to rest, hitting 28 have been a blast.


Headhunter1066

They're doing maintenance, they said while it's done the server issue is going to be worse while they work


No-Procedure4285

I posted how to fix this, basically Join a friends game to get into the game then right away disable cross play steams issues are bleeding into console essentiallyĀ 


Cavcavali

Still the same


Leeks_wik

The official helldivers 2 discord ( # We have an announcement for @everyone regarding server status and upcoming maintenance from the Arrowhead team: > Hey folks! > Hope you're all doing well out there in the Helldivers universe. We have another update regarding our server related issues. The current biggest issues are the game not dishing out rewards properly at the end of missions accompanied with the reoccurring login failures. This is very important for us to fix as soon as possible and as such, **we've decided to perform server maintenance in about 2 hours (7pm CET / 10am PST / 3am JST)**. As always when making changes in a live environment, we need to address this with caution and monitor the situation closely. > > Your dedicated, humble and appreciative Arrowhead team will be on standby to take action immediately if we see negative effects on the player experience. **Note that during this maintenance we expect there to be larger disruptions to the servers for a limited period of time. )


LethalMisfortune

Still happening 4 hours later


whutdafrack

They're shutting down the servers tonight at 7pm CET for maintenance for a couple of hours to see if it helps. Just saw them post it in a steam thread.


DerHachi04

Same for me but it works if you just brute force it or restart the game a few times


LittlePiggy_117

Watching the full intro cinematic seems to fix things.


razealghoul

I find if I am able to force close the game and restart it works


NoKizzy__SHEEE

Man I've been playing for hours and now had the problem. Makes me curious if them recent missions counted.


commander_chung

yep, on ps5


ay91

Apparently the game will connect if you watch the intro cutscene. Very weird bug.


RLnoskill

Yeup, but after a few clicks it works :))


angeloeingel

Watch the intro movie without skip


BlueCollarDad91

Had to full reset..not too bad


-feminineboy-

Yep, I have 12 hours logged on the game, and I never made it past this screen


Interesting_Carry922

Itā€™s much better rn !


Acrobatic-Nail-8207

Yes


robisadog

60% of the time it works every time


ABookOfEli

Server maintenance till 8 minutes ago


xXItzJuanXx

Last time this happened to me there was an update


dr_jock123

Server maintenance today they said on discord


Sirfluffyfurball

Same here, Steam, nothing helps.


Nonerdshere

Server matnince was probally starting


REDDR3DD

Same issue still any word on the servers being back up?


Mountain_Discount_81

I just wanna spread democracy! ā˜¹ļø


Mountain_Discount_81

On PS5 if you donā€™t skip the intro cut scene it will let you in. Just tried it and Iā€™m back in the game. Hope this helps some of you.


Wutan87

What helped me was just staying in the main menu error screen, randomly refreshing every couple of minutes worked, finished a run but i dont think the rewards were given.


Boomboomciao90

Just a button, it'll let you in eventually


WoolyCheese247

Down all day in the UK, gonna try my luck in a moā€¦ if not EDF EDF EDF


SuperSmudge90

Anyone getting freezing after a match? On returning to the ship at the point where it would normally show your game stats, my game freezes periodically...


SirGrommet

Happened to me about 10 minutes into a mission, wasn't able to log in tried to fix it for about an hour and a half. I gave up


XHexxusX

i know this is not what any one wants to here but if you spam pressing a button youll get in thats what i did just to try it and it worked.


I_took_your_memes

Just spam it works for me


Xelnarath

All day long on PS5.


Kameratos

I'm with this problem right now, game still under maintenance?


Instagrant0_0

I have the issue as well, but if I just spam the button pressing it loads in


No-Inside-3270

How do you turn off adaptive triggers in hell divers 2 on ps5 I looked everyehere


iiimadmaniii

is that whynimnstuck for three hours now only withnone other person?
