The launch of Helldivers 2 has been a huge success for developer Arrowhead Game Studios, but has been marred by persistent bugs and recurring issues. A new patch has been deployed on PS5 along with increased server capacity to address the matchmaking issues, however, players are still not being adequately rewarded for their in-game efforts. Game director Johan Pilestedt has taken to Twitter to communicate with the community, thanking them for their patience and acknowledging the ongoing issues. Arrowhead has expanded server capacity and the rate at which players can connect to the game, aiming to minimize server connectivity issues.
Despite the efforts to address the bugs and issues, one persistent problem remains: players are not being adequately rewarded for their efforts in the game. This issue has been mitigated but unresolved, and additional server downtime is necessary to address it. Pilestedt has apologized for the inconvenience and suggested restarting the game when the issue occurs. The development team is working diligently to address this issue, even working through the weekend to resolve the ongoing problems. As a result, players have been experiencing frustration and disappointment, and it remains to be seen when the issue will be fully resolved.
Amidst the ongoing challenges, the Helldivers 2 community has been invited to share their experiences and feedback on the game, particularly regarding matchmaking and missing rewards. Players are encouraged to provide input to help the developers gain a better understanding of the issues that players are facing. This demonstrates a commitment to transparency and open communication between the developers and the community, as they work collaboratively to overcome the challenges presented by the game’s launch.
