For these of us planning to spend the weekend spreading (managed) democracy in Helldivers 2, there is a looming menace the sport’s buckling servers will not permit it. Earlier this week, Arrowhead Studios capped the CCU (concurrent customers) at 450,000 within the title of stability, which principally signifies that if that cap is reached—and it nearly at all times is —you may want to attend in queue.
There is a silver lining: Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt has confirmed on X that as of now, the max CCU cap has been raised from 450,000 to 700,000. “Sadly, we anticipate the CCU to succeed in that degree,” Pilestedt added, although “we imagine that the wait occasions might be rather more bearable.”
In an earlier submit, Pilestedt elaborated. “We would nonetheless hit the restrict sooner or later however for now we’re above what we’ve been capable of help. We’re actively Monitoring the scenario.”
To say Arrowhead is having per week is an enormous understatement; nobody anticipated Helldivers 2 to draw the participant numbers it has to this point, not least Arrowhead Video games itself. Pilestedt mentioned earlier this week that “if in case you have no money, get it later”, including that “in the event you spent your final $ and bought caught in server queues I would be [heartbroken].” Issues will hopefully enhance quickly, nonetheless, as a result of Sony engineers have been recruited to assist out.
Helldivers 2 acquired a welcome patch earlier in the present day including an AFK kick timer (sticking round in wanted servers AFK is decidedly undemocratic) in addition to a bunch of different fixes. The main points on Patch 1.000.11 are right here.
