Finding zero players to matchmake with on Helldivers 2 on PC? Yeah, you’re not the only one. It seems there is an issue about that happening to gamers now. Thankfully, a Helldivers 2 matchmaking fix for PC has surfaced, and it seems to do the trick!

Before doing this fix/workaround, do note that this modifies the game files somewhat, and we can’t say whether Arrowhead considers this a bannable offense, so proceed at your own discretion.

Helldivers 2 Matchmaking Fix (Steam):

Players on Steam can use the pre-update game.dll file to enable matchmaking again.

Download the game.dll put the older pre update .dll in this folder location (x:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Helldivers 2\data\game). — Make sure to back up your original game.dll file just in case.
