Arrowhead is tackling the problem in smaller batches to avoid further issues, relieving frustrated players who have been unable to play higher difficulty missions or progress in the game. The latest patch notes suggest ongoing fixes, especially for cross-play friend requests, to improve the gaming experience.

Helldivers 2 is a cooperative, squad-based twin-stick shooter game developed by Arrowhead Game Studios. It follows the critically acclaimed Helldivers released in 2015 and continues the theme of a satirical dystopian future where players work together as part of an elite unit known as the Helldivers. Taking place in procedurally generated levels, players must accomplish objectives and combat enemies while promoting the game’s motto of "spreading managed democracy." The game has a strong focus on teamwork and community involvement, which is essential for progressing through increasingly challenging missions.
