Helldivers 2<\/em>‘s launch was a massive success, but the hype train ground to an abrupt halt on Feb. 11 as players all around the world experienced server connection issues and problems with getting their expected end-of-mission rewards. To solve the issues, the developers announced a server maintenance period from 12pm CT on Feb. 11<\/strong>, which concluded by 2pm CT<\/strong>, with the situation resolved.<\/p>
While Helldivers 2<\/em> has had a strong start, many players (primarily PC users) have run into persistent server issues relating to Quickplay<\/a> since its release. We have also experienced the issuer on PlayStation, pushing us out of the server and back into the main menu.<\/p>
