Fix the empty lobby bug at last..

[Helldivers™ 2]

If anyone leaves, you often have to restart the game for anyone else to join. The slot is forever considered filled.

This is among the top 3 priority bugs to me and its not even in the known list, come on

yea this bug is really annoying despite the game taking only ~30 seconds to boot up.

a friend of mine actually loses interest to play HD2 for the evening if this bug happens twice in an hour, really kills the energy.

actually if the devs let us skip the pointless defrosting helldiver animations this whole issue would be less annoying, we waste 20 seconds just looking at that garbage every time we get punted into our ship.

animation delay is to stop people spamming the Quickplay "until you find a lineup you like".

Yeah every 1-2 matches/missions you can retstart game cause nobody 'can' join anymore -_- (only friends can...)

[MeGa]

Yeah normally only first match or two get filled correctly. After some matches you somehow feel like the game changed to private

Says who

That's what I'd do, keep pulling that VegasSlots lever hope for a team that isn't in the teens.

I usually get people filling the lobby fairly quickly but today, somehow only the friends who joined me directly were able to get in. Double checked my settings multiple times but, it was public. Even threw down an SOS at some point, nothing.

Been asking for this fix since the get go, nothing has changed and I honestly do not believe it will be fixed.

Gamers do not usually read forums so most ppl will just assume the worst and not bother playing again or just have one game then leave considering no one joins.

Not a good thing considering the publisher wants more players which equals more income, I imagine plenty of ppl enjoy this game but then have this issue not realising why and think well i wont reccomend this to friends or family

Ok, im not sure thats such a common case that they put a whole animation there just for that. It must be a way to hide loading

It only takes one impatient clown (with two thumbs), to spam the 'E' button and increase general traffic.

Did you ask your friends if they approve of this comment?

completely agree. for an ALWAYS ONLINE COOP game having the matchmaking (aka) the CORE of the games livelyhood bug out and prevent anyone from joining you all the time is one of the biggest flaws of the game.

and it should have been fixed 5 months ago.

Another test today, left the lobby on for nearly half an hour, in EU, in a planet with 60k+ players. No joins

Restart the game, host on the same planet, full squad in 1 minute

Roasting peanuts with idle hardware eh

Yeah no kidding, matchmaking might be THE most important thing in a coop game, and it seems to be an afterthought. If i was developing this it would be priority number one, over all performance issues and bugs.

yes, this happens to me since release, and truly induces to burn out, and kills the gameplay flow.

If they fixed this the population would surely increase, as many of us end up closing the game when this happens, instead of restarting
