The spectacular Helldivers 2 has been facing a pleasant problem owing to its success: packed servers creating login difficulties. Good news for fans, as developers have been burning the midnight oil to fix these concerns, and are now rolling out a game update opening the gates for more concurrent players.
The charm of the latest Patch 1.00012 might be found in its quality over quantity, arriving hot on the heels of a previous fix that addressed player inactivity, expelling dormant players to make way for active participants.
Johan Pilestedt, the game’s imaginative lead and top boss, took to social media to share the positive news: “We have upped the max CCU threshold to 700,000.” He cautioned that this isn’t a silver bullet, hinting at the possibility of reaching that cap too. Nevertheless, he is hopeful that these updates will substantially cut down on player wait times.
The subreddit lit up with commendation for the small but robust team sculpting Helldivers 2’s network. A user named ZineZ celebrated the effort: “With just FOUR people on this, they’re heroes.” PsiijicMonkey echoed this sentiment, “The four backend wizards are the real-life Helldivers.”
Their task isn’t done — the team has outlined a slew of fixes awaiting action following this patch. Take a look at the immediate priorities post-patch notes below.
