After an extended stretch of teasing, mechs have lastly arrived in Helldivers 2, offering gamers the chance to stomp across the battlefield in heavily-armored type. Unfortunately, with that excellent news comes a little bit of dangerous: The arrival of the heavy-duty warfare machines has introduced with it a renewed spherical of server errors.
“We are conscious of a difficulty with gamers not having the ability to get into the sport,” an Arrowhead developer stated earlier immediately on the Helldivers Discord. “This occurred when the Combat Walkers grew to become out there. People rushed to get it and it overwhelmed our backend. We are working to repair it as quickly as we will. We need you to benefit from the Mech as quickly as attainable. Thanks in your endurance!”
Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt stated the difficulty is “intermittent,” and luck should get you within the door: PC Gamer Helldiver-in-Chief Morgan Park is within the sport at this very second, and has been for a while now, as a result of I assume he simply will get to try this type of factor on a Friday. I, nonetheless, have been caught at a “failed to connect with server” message for the previous 20 minutes.
(Honestly compels me to confess that Morgan is definitely enjoying Helldivers 2 for a piece factor, which you’ll doubtless be studying about quickly.)
At this level there isn’t any indication as to when servers can be again to regular. “Service can be restored finally,” Pilestedt tweeted, “however for now I ask for endurance.”
So far, simply as they did when Helldivers 2 launched and ran face-first right into a brick wall of server issues, gamers appear inclined to roll with it. There’s some comprehensible impatience and frustration, however no actual wailing and gnashing of tooth on show—though I get the sensation that this man, who really obtained into the sport, got here fairly shut:
I discovered a mech. It did not final lengthy. from r/Helldivers
That would be the saddest sound I’ve heard all 12 months.
A higher concern at this level appears to be the failure of mission rewards to register on the completion of missions, together with from the latest main order, which led as much as the mech rollout. This too is seemingly a part of the backend overload: A Helldivers 2 developer on Discord stated the issue “is a visible bug because of the backend a part of the server (mainly participant loot/knowledge) being overworked,” and that everybody will get their rewards and samples finally.
