Having the same problem, cant even load into my ship. I just get a menu screen that says failed to connect and all of my settings are reset. Restarting steam fixes it till I launch game again.

Same for me and my friend

Do you guys know how much an exabyte is? its one billion gigabytes.
thats how much is being used by china, right now. playing "Black Myth Wukong"

Could be the reasoning, could also be a targetted Ddos. who knows?

yeah I was trying to reply earlier and let you know its just the servers and restarting steam to reset the connection usually fixes it but my internet cut out for a while . No use reinstalling as the problem is with servers and not game files. I THINK its just Helldivers 2, Ive been experiencing this problem weeks before Wukong release and every other game on steam works fine for me.

If you haven't already, you should join their Discord server and check out the troubleshooting channel.

This fixed it for me personally:
1. Right click Helldivers 2 in your Steam library

2. Select "Properties"

3. Select "Installed Files"

4. Click "Browse"

5. Find the .exe (Path from local files: Helldivers 2 > Bin > helldivers2) --> Right click

6. Select "Troubleshoot compatibility issues" (I think that's what it should be called, my Windows is in Danish - if not, it is something along those lines. It is right above the option to pin it to your desk)

7. Click "Try the recommended options"

8. Click "Test the program" --> This should open the game

9. Click "Next" once the game has booted up
- Options 1: If you're able to join other people/be joined, save the settings.
- Option 2: If you still have issues, click "No. Try with different settings" --> Remember
to close the game after this


IF OPTION 2
10. Select something along the lines of the program requiring multiple/other permissions - it is the third option shown.

11. Press "Next"

12. Press "Test the program"

13. This should prompt your PC to say yes or no to the game asking for permissions.

14. Join, be joined or press quickplay.

15. If you're able to play with other people, make sure you press "Next" in your troubleshooting and save the settings.

16. Remember to say "Yes, the problem is solved" and then click the "close troubleshooting"

This actually worked finally. I've done three other fixes that worked for literally a day each, and this has seems to have put a good hold on connection issues. Thanks!

Unable to join friend and they are unable to join me currently. History of past players is missing. Search by player ID does not work. Appears to be a bug.

Try restarting steam by closing it completely and then re-opening it. Usually works for me when having connection problems.
