Hi everyone, just wanted to post the connection information in this thread:



After receiving some complaints from players about server connectivity we assumed that there was some issue on our end due to the huge influx of all the new PS+ players. When investigating the issue (which curiously occurs seldomly on PC although its the same servers) weve concluded that most of the issues aren't derived from our side, and as far as our diagnostics show the servers have been running smoothly.



We know people are undeniably having issues so we are continuing to work with Sony and look into the cause of all this but hopefully it will soon be up and running for everyone again. In the meantime we are still further improving and optimising our own servers to give all players an even better Helldivers experience.



Some general details about types of connection problems:

- Helldivers uses P2P servers (no dedicated servers), meaning users connect directly to each other over PSN, and nothing regarding user to user connections is handled on our servers. There is no communication with our servers during a mission, only before and after.

- Host Migrating means that the hosting player has disconnected and the host position is being moved to the next player.

- If you get kicked from the middle of a mission with a message about being kicked, it usually means that another player has kicked you.

- If you disconnect in the middle of a session and return to the main menu, it usually means that you have lost connection to PSN for a certain amount of time. This usually reconnects within just a number of seconds.
