Developers usually release patch updates to fix minor bugs or errors in a game. The new patch for Helldivers 2 was released to enhance user experience, but instead, it’s causing connection errors. These can occur in various ways, like the failed to join lobby and failed-to-establish network connection errors.
The error started appearing after installing the recent patch update. It usually occurs when trying to enter lobbies, between battles, and sometimes while launching on PC and PS5. This sudden disconnection disrupts the flow and the overall experience of the game. This issue is being faced by players all around the world, and Reddit is full of complaints regarding the same:
Another user reported with the error message:
Arrowhead Studios, the developers of Helldivers 2, have not publicly acknowledged the error. While there are discussions on social media platforms regarding the error, the lack of official recognition can be unsettling for players.
As the developers don’t recognize the issue, no official fix is currently available. However, the online community of Helldivers 2 has suggested some solutions. These include running the game as an administrator, turning the firewall & crossplay off, and reinstalling the game. But there are no reports that these work and fix this connection error.
Internet connection errors in any game are a significant hurdle, and Helldivers 2 is no different. Until the error gets recognized by Arrowhead Studios and an official fix is available, players can do nothing but wait. We hope to see a solution in the future that will restore a smooth and stable online experience. Until then, players should follow the official Twitter channel of Helldivers 2 and stay updated.
