The authors of Helldivers 2 talked about measures to combat technical problems

The high interest in the cooperative action game Helldivers 2 exceeded the developers' expectations, leading to problems with server instability.

Buying additional server hardware, as suggested by players, does not fundamentally solve the problem. In a series of posts that were later deleted, Arrowhead Game Studios head Johan Pilestedt stressed that the key to improving the situation lies in optimizing the game's programming code, not in increasing the number of servers.

Since the launch of Helldivers 2, the development team has been trying to increase the performance of the servers to provide uninterrupted access for an increasing number of players. Currently, the servers can support up to 450,000 users simultaneously, demonstrating the studio's efforts to improve the game experience.
