Helldivers 2 has garnered a significant player base, pushing its servers to capacity and even causing occasional outages. As the player count continues to rise, questions arise regarding when Helldivers 2 will expand its server capacity.
Upon joining Helldivers 2, I found myself amidst a group of friends who had been immersed in the game for days. Initially feeling unstoppable with such seasoned companions, our confidence waned when server issues like error codes 10002038 or the “unable to establish connection” error impeded our progress. At that point, the game’s director advised potential buyers to hold off until server issues were resolved, prompting me to wonder about Arrowhead Game Studios’ plans for server expansion.
When will Helldivers 2 get more server capacity?
There is no definitive timeline for when Helldivers 2 will increase its server capacity. The game’s creative director, Pilestedt, has addressed the challenge of server upgrades, citing the need to optimize backend code. While efforts are underway, the process may take longer due to necessary code adjustments and rigorous stress testing.
Merely acquiring additional servers may not alleviate capacity issues, according to Pilestedt. There could be inefficiencies in Helldivers 2’s backend code, compounded by existing servers’ inability to handle the growing player base. Addressing these issues is likely the top priority for Arrowhead, and hopefully, they will be swiftly resolved.
As Arrowhead tackles these challenges, players eagerly await improvements in server capacity, hopeful for a smoother gaming experience in Helldivers 2.
