How to Get Into The Game to Play

[Plagen]

>Open the game
>Get to the "Servers at Capacity" screen
>Wait like 15 minutes while you do something else
>Get connected and load into the game.

Got a black screen too, no loading? Again, just wait. I had it too, took maybe 5-10 minutes or more to get to the Servers at Capacity screen again, but then I just waited another 15 minutes, and I was in.

It is that simple. I've closed the game, played for a bit, and then opened it just like this around 3 times today when I had other things to do. Some of you have absolutely no patience.

Don't Alt+F4 because it is taking time, just wait. Watch a stream or browse your favorite content site for a little bit. It's all good. It's all going to be okay.

Have you been closing out of and re-opening the game? Or have you been sitting at the retrying screen for 5 hours straight?

I don't even bother logging out. It's a waste of time.

sitting and waiting - should we be closing the game and retrying after 20 min or somethin?

I think the "retrying" screen is just there for you to stare at and think the game is actually trying to get you in.

Another central timer, my game had a network error that crashed out around 2:30pm and i knew i was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ so i logged into the black screen and went to lunch it is now 6:18pm and im just hangin in discord as my friends try to find other ways to try and get me back on to play lol!

Basically you are advocating for players themselves to play with RNG to sollicitate a connection, in most games a queue system would be put in place in order to manage the connections and inform the waiting customer on how much time is left before connection However the devs could not even manage that, the launch is a textbook service failure and the studio is more concerned about damage control than providing service to their customers. They don't even have the decency to delist the game or find a way to pause sales, selling the game over capacity warrant a report

For those of you like this of course its not simple, your brain can not comprehend the truth and lover of hell divers 2. If you can not play, it is because you love Reddit more than you love the game. If you wish to play the game instead of being so absent minded as to ♥♥♥♥ post.

Delete your Reddit account.
Move your download region on steam to Cambodia.
Simply click play.

I have never seen more obvious clown award farm bait than saying logging in for hours for a 40$ game is not too bad

[Sciophyte]

Or play a drinking game!!! Every time the "retrying" message comes on, take a shot of your favorite high-proof liquor (or a hit from your bong if you tilt that way). I guarantee you soon won't be giving a flying ♥♥♥♥ about playing Helldivers (or any other game).

Closing out and reopening every 30 or so mins/when I remember, but one of the waits was longer than an hour without a restart.
