Helldivers 2 update 1.000.12 raises server cap – full patch notes

View of a planet in Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 is emerging as the standout game of 2024. Despite initially flying under the radar, the game made its debut earlier this month on PS5 and PC, quickly building a substantial player community of enthusiastic Helldivers ready to engage in the virtual war. In response to ongoing challenges, developer Arrowhead has introduced the Helldivers 2 1.000.12 patch update – and it addresses the significant server issues by raising the server cap.

The new update is smaller than the last two; however, increasing the server cap is a big change that should improve the Helldivers 2 experience for across the board.

Since its launch, numerous players have reported connectivity issues, with the persistent “Servers at capacity” error hindering entry into the game. This problem stems from the unexpectedly high influx of players, causing significant frustration for those attempting to play during peak hours. Despite this setback, Helldivers 2 has enjoyed an otherwise impressive start.

In addition to server-related concerns, the game faces various smaller issues that developers aim to address through subsequent patches. For a comprehensive overview of the fixes and improvements, let’s delve into the complete patch notes for the Helldivers 2 version 1.000.11 update.
