Helldivers 2: Players Facing Minor Outage in Order Tracking

Apr 21, 2024 2:01 PM

Helldivers 2 is experiencing a temporary 'minor outage,' causing significant issues with order tracking within the game. Players have reported that their progress in the popular top-down shooter is not being displayed correctly. The official Helldivers 2 Twitter account acknowledged this problem stating that the 'liberation efforts' of players might go unrecorded for the time being due to an array destruction on Vernen Wells. Developer Arrowhead Game Studios is actively investigating the problem and is committed to resolving the issue but has not provided a specific timeline for a fix. This tracking bug is an addition to prior server capacity issues since the launch of Helldivers 2.

Is the progress in Helldivers 2 still being recorded during the outage, and will it be restored once the issue is fixed?nThe official communications have not clarified if progress is still being internally tracked despite not displaying. Players are advised to wait for a fix to ensure their efforts are recorded for when Arrowhead Game Studios solves the problem.

Helldivers 2, following its release earlier this year, has faced a range of issues including server-related problems due to its unexpected popularity. Arrowhead Game Studios has been working hard to balance new content releases and bug fixes to enhance player experience. This ambition to create an outstanding live service game was echoed earlier in the week as they tasked players with a community challenge of eradicating two billion in-game bugs. The community's swift completion of this challenge suggests high engagement and enthusiasm among the player base for the cooperative, strategic gameplay that Helldivers 2 offers.

It's unfortunate to hear about the tracking bug in Helldivers 2, especially considering the game's recent server issues. It's reassuring that Arrowhead Game Studios is actively investigating and working on resolving the problem, but it's important for players to wait for an official fix to ensure their progress is accurately recorded.
