If you've been struggling to get into Helldivers 2, you can at least take some small measure of comfort in knowing you're not alone. Servers are crushed, matchmaking isn't working properly, and some clever diehards are trying to avoid the queue issues by simply staying logged in overnight, a strategy enabled by the lack of an AFK timer (and which of course also makes things worse for people who actually want to play the game).
Developer Arrowhead Studios capped the concurrent player count at 450,000 over the weekend in order to help alleviate the worst of the troubles, but that's obviously not an ideal solution when you've got more than 450,000 people who want to play Helldivers 2 at the same time. Fortunately, more help is coming soon.
