Helldivers 2 Dev Tracker

Hello Helldivers,
This morning, we gathered the best engineers Super Earth can muster to look at the main issues that are impacting your experience and to fix them.

These issues are caused mostly by having so many players in the game and server capacity creating unexpected behaviors.

Let me update you on what we did so far with the latest patch being deployed:
  • Server Capacity and log in access:
  • We have eased the authentication request overall.
  • We have improved error message visibility and added a countdown timer to clearly show when a new attempt will be made.
  • Progression and mission reward not being granted:
  • We fixed the daily and difficulty progression error
  • Based on the testing we have done we believe we have fixed future mission rewards but will continue to monitor this closely as it is our top priority
  • To compensate for lost rewards, we...

Upvote this dev right now! I have never witnessed such openness from a dev team, especially under fire. Thank you so much for your amazing game and for your dedication to its community.

No, thank you. I hope we don't disappoint.

You guys managed to create an awesome game with unlimited potential, very cinematic and fun. Are you hiring any data analysts and/or data scientists by any chance? :D

I am not currently on top of our hiring needs, but you can always check our open roles though! You never know :D

Thanks for the transparency. Had an absolute blast playing all weekend and can't wait to see what's in store!

Hope you can get the bugs squashed and start delivering some new content asap.

We'll squish the bugs so you can squish the bugs. It's a plan! Thank you.

Thanks for the personal update it’s appreciated and I think the majority of players love Helldivers and I come from HD1 which I thought was great so I’m in for the long haul. Maybe this is to hard to answer but will these servers issues continue for the next few days or we expecting I along with everyone else will be able to jump in to the game tonight with no issues ? With limited knowledge of servers and capacity etc I just wondered if players should hold off for a few hours, days or weeks before it’s a smooth process of playing where we can log in play and get rewards

I am unsure myself and hesitant to answer as I don't want to be seen as giving false hope. I can say that we try to deploy the least disruptive things as possible, as we know how important it is just to be able to play. Patches come out as soon as possible.

Thank you so much for all the effort you're putting in! I've seen and played many AAA releases with much worse issues and literally no dev feedback! What you're doing is way above and beyond! I'm currently not playing the game and waiting for the issues to get resolved, but trust me, as soon as they are, I'm jumping back in!

Make sure to get some rest, eat/drink properly and spend some time with your loved ones!! Pay less attention to the stupid vitriol on the internet and do your best!

To those that feel the need to spout more vitriol and hated, as suggested above, refund the game! We don't want people like you in our community (you're probably the same people that kick players after being blown up by a cluster bomb once). Do us all a favour and leave!

To everyone else like me, who enjoyed the hell out of this game since minute 1, please be patient and respectable! Wait a few days and let the devs catch their breath! I'm sure we'll be spreading democracy i...

As a Helldivers 1 fan who played the game a lot it's hard to put into words just how great of a game you've developed. Yeah sure, some of the issues are an inconvenience but that's all they really are; an inconvenience. The thing I found the most annoying were the crashes and those don't happen anymore. These inconveniences don't make the game any less fun to play and it truly is an immensely fun game! You all really outdid yourselves with this game.

At the end of the day the vast majority understand that you're only human and that this game exceeded your expectations in every way and that this is reflected in the issues we're experiencing. It's a testament to how amazing of a game you've got here.

Just keep at it and don't forget to properly rest up.

Liberty and Democracy!

Thank you. What can I say...we're working on the bug crushing right beside our fellow Helldivers. We won't give up.
