Let me be honest: no, you are not the only person trying and failing to spread democracy in helldivers 2 this week.

He tough as nails and the ridiculously popular co-op shooter has had a tough time adjusting to the fame, meaning some players have been staring at loading screens and queues more often than they’ve been able to access the actual game. However, the developers apologized for the situation and things have been improving. Just yesterday, developer Arrowhead Game Studios issued a patch that raised its server capacity to 700,000 simultaneous players. Unfortunately, the team believes this number still won’t be good enough to fully sustain what is expected to be a busy weekend.

The news came via Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt, who has been sharing updates on his personal Twitter profile and stated that the studio would release some “final improvements” today ahead of the weekend. Pilestedt also warned that the team hopes helldivers 2 numbers to exceed what they had prepared, they did assure that the limit of 700,000 players was “above what we have been able to support.” In general, Pilestedt says that “waiting times will become more bearable” in the future.

The latter probably has to do with yesterday. patchthat kicks helldivers 2 queue players if they are simply idle on the home page and taking up space on the server. And you know what, the patches have really worked. I got home from work and my friends were able to start the game without any problems. Even if I have to wait this weekend, I’m sure I’ll be able to get into the game easier than the last time I tried. When I do, I hope to have one jolly old mess of a time crushing my friends with drop pods and watching them get vivisected by huge insects.
