It’s another day, and it seems another server problem for Helldivers 2. Multiple players have reported on Helldivers 2 being down, with people having matchmaking issues (unable to match with other players), and seeing the “server at capacity” error message this February 18.
Helldivers 2 Down With Matchmaking Issues Status for Feb. 18:
The Helldivers 2 subreddit has been littered with gamers stating that they cannot find matches, with some running into the black screen issue (thankfully, we have a fix for that here).
Impossible to find a match

Yep, there’s more of those kind of threads but you get the idea. While Arrowhead Game Studios hasn’t acknowledged the issues for today just yet, we are hoping they are working on it right now. If you are having issues with Quickplay (most likely so if you’re reading this) then here’s a workaround that might work for you (it did the trick based on our testing).
Helldivers 2 Quickplay Fix:
- Hit “R” to start a quick match
- Immediately click an Operation to open the “pick one of the three missions” prompt
- Your search should pop in a second or two (difficulty random).
Hopefully, that does the trick. Once Arrowhead issues an announcement or update about this downtime, we’ll be sure to add it in the article.

This is why i always read reviews and bug threads before purchasing games, and don’t make spur-of-the-moment purchases just because games are popular and all the cool kids are playing them. Just because games are popular doesn’t necessarily mean the game isn’t a broken mess.
Who wants to play a game that requires a temporary makeshift solution just to get into a match.
L comment, L person.
he’s right tho
