“Earlier tonight we had server related issues with a concurrent player spike,” wrote Misty Hart, player support agent at Arrowhead (via Reddit).
In a message shared on the official Helldivers server, the studio revealed that it has now increased the capacity of the servers to 450,000 concurrent players across both platforms- but be warned that you may still run into issues related to progression and connectivity.
“Therefore, we’ve had to cap our concurrent players to around 450,000 to further improve server stability.
If you have progression related issues, please restart the game in order for things to sync back up.
