A new patch has been rolled out for Arrowhead Game Studios’ third-person squad shooter Helldivers 2, which, amongst other fixes, aims to address the issue of inactive players taking up server space while not actually playing at all.
In case you were unaware, Helldivers 2 has been struggling since launch with its own popularity. Server issues have caused a number of problems for players, to the point where Arrowhead has enforced a concurrent player cap of around 450,000 to stop too many people from playing at the same time and boost stability. However, some players have been attempting to bypass the login queues by simply never logging out. Up until today, you could essentially jump straight back into the action by leaving your game running even when you’re not playing.
