Helldivers 2 has seen an incredible surge of popularity, despite the first Helldivers game being a criminally underrated and slept on due to its gameplay. But now that Helldivers 2 is a third person shooter where you can play Free Bird in the background and get the closest thing you can to a Starship Troopers triple AAA game, people are going crazy for it.
But with popular games comes with some issues, like having a constantly full server, players staying logged in and preventing others from joining the game, and players who remain AFK as well. These are all issues that have been plaguing the game since launch, but they have been fixed in 1.000.11 and 1.000.12.
In 1.000.11, the developers added a function that kicks AFK players who are idle for 15 minutes from the servers, allowing other players to jump in and play the game. Then, not even a day later, the developers increased the server cap to 700,000 thousand, allowing more players to jump in and play the game.
This is a great way to get more players to play the game while also removing the ones who are staying logged on in the game on purpose, which prevents other players from joining the servers.
Here are the fixes for each patches in the game:
