re: Helldivers 2 - Playstation Breaks Its PC Launch Record

Yep I played for 4 hours last night and had a ton of fun. Yeah matchmaking needs to be worked on but I was able to join random groups and complete missions.

I did get the connection error for a few minutes. On reddit, someone suggested watching the opening video and don't skip it. I did that twice and got in without issue. Also in 4 hours, I had no crashes. With my 3080 Ti, I'm getting 100+ fps at 1440p w/ max settings.

It's been such a success out of nowhere (1+ million sold). I saw that for Helldivers 1 the peak concurrent player count was only ~30k. For Hell Divers 2, the peak count between PC and PS5 is over 350k. It would be higher, but they are at server capacity.

The good news is the developer looks to be very responsive and have already released patches, increasing capacity etc.
