Let me be upfront: no, you’re not the one individual making an attempt and failing to unfold democracy in Helldivers 2 this week.
The hard-as-nails and ridiculously in style co-op shooter has had a tough time adjusting to fame, that means some gamers have been watching loading screens and queues extra usually than they’ve been in a position to get into the precise sport. The builders have apologized for the scenario although, and issues have been bettering. Simply yesterday, the developer Arrowhead Recreation Studios issued a patch that introduced its server capacities as much as 700,000 concurrent gamers. Sadly, the workforce believes this quantity nonetheless received’t be ok to thoroughly maintain via what is predicted to be a busy weekend.
The information got here by the use of Arrowhead’s CEO Johan Pilestedt, who has been sharing updates on their private Twitter profile, and claimed that the studio could be issuing some “ultimate enhancements” immediately forward of the weekend. Pilestedt additionally warned that the workforce expects Helldivers 2 numbers to surpass what they’ve ready for, they did guarantee that the 700,000 participant cap was “above what now we have been in a position to assist.” Total, Pilestedt says that “wait instances shall be extra bearable” going ahead.
That final bit doubtless has to do with yesterday’s patch, which kicks Helldivers 2 gamers from the queue in the event that they’re simply idling on the startup web page and taking over house on the server. And you recognize what, the patches have really labored. I obtained dwelling from work and my mates had been in a position to load into the sport with no points. Even when I’ve obtained to attend this weekend, I’m assured I’ll be capable to get into the sport extra simply than the final time I attempted. Once I do, I’m wanting ahead to having a jolly ol’ mess of a time flattening my mates with drop pods and watching them get vivisected by large bugs.
