Helldivers 2, a highly-anticipated third-person shooter sequel to the original top-down Helldivers game, has launched with some initial success, overtaking God of War as PlayStation's biggest PC launch to date. However, players have encountered several matchmaking issues since its recent release, which have been subject to both quick fixes and plans for long-term solutions by Arrowhead Game Studios. In response to matchmaking challenges and login issues, the development team has released an interim patch for both PC and PS5 platforms which is already resulting in more stable gameplay. The team at Arrowhead Game Studios promises continued improvements and expresses gratitude for the community's patience. Additionally, while other concerns like PC optimization and kernel-level anti-cheat software have been raised, these aspects require more complex solutions.

What are the known issues with Helldivers 2 since its launch?

Since the launch of Helldivers 2, players have reported matchmaking problems, optimization issues for PC, and concerns regarding the game's kernel-level anti-cheat software.

Additional Background: Helldivers 2 is set in a rich sci-fi universe where players form squads to tackle intergalactic conflicts. Compared to its predecessor, which featured top-down shooter mechanics, the sequel has adopted a third-person perspective, adding a new dimension to the combat and strategy. The original Helldivers game was well-received for its cooperative gameplay and challenging missions, laying a solid foundation for the sequel to build upon. With its recent launch issues being addressed, Helldivers 2 aims to continue the legacy of intense, cooperative gameplay set in a sprawling sci-fi battleground.
