Crossplay causes a lot of multiplayer issues, not just in Helldivers 2 but in other multiplayer games as well. You can disable the crossplay by following the below steps:
- Press Escape and go to the Options Menu
- In Gameplay, the second option is Crossplay – Turn it Off.
Keep Trying
Due to the large number of players who are reporting issues with the game’s matchmaking, there’s no doubt that there is a real issue with the game and its servers. However, persistence has paid off for many players including me. If I put it roughly one in four attempts gets me a game.
The game servers may be overburdened and due to this, the servers are misbehaving, which has happened with countless games in the past. These issues are usually resolved on their own within the first few days of launch as early enthusiasts leave the game.
