![]() This is a decision that was not made lightly, and followed careful review of player behavior from the region. Our Dubai site for hosting Servers was retired today and players in the region will instead be matchmade to our servers in EU. This was made after “careful review” of “player behaviour.” We’ve screengrabbed PartWelsh’s conversation with a player, and have quoted it below as well. This was confirmed by DICE Global Community Manager PartWelsh today, where he also confirmed that Battlefield 5 South African servers have also been retired, with both player base now connecting to EU instead. DICE has confirmed today that Battlefield 5 Middle East servers and South Africa servers have been “retired.” Check out IGN’s Helldivers 2 tips and tricks for getting started if you’re jumping in.Following yesterday’s bad news that double XP isn’t possible in Battlefield 5 due to technical reasons, those playing in the Middle East and South Africa are in for another disappointing bit of news. IGN’s Helldivers 2 Review in Progress was equally enthusiastic. ![]() After an initial ‘mixed’ user review rating on Steam, Helldivers 2 is now up to ‘mostly positive’. ![]() Regards, Johanĭespite the server issues, Helldivers 2 is going down well with players. In order to do so, right now it is crucial that our team gets some sleep and we will be back at this again in a few hours. For now, please once again accept our sincere apologies for the issues you’re facing and rest assured, we’re doing our utmost to make it right. I know the progression issue is frustrating, especially for newer divers that want to unlock sweet gear. This is due to the high traffic on the servers leading to rewards not being tracked correctly by our servers. If you get the issue you can try rebooting the game to increase the chances of it being reset. And without additional server maintenance this will still not work as intended. As for the reward issue, the fix was mitigated but not resolved. As mentioned above, the increased capacity should require less retries to get in. If for any reason you get the “Failed to connect to server”issue it means that the maximum number of login requests for that particular minute is exceeded and/or that the servers are full and will require someone to log out before allowing new players in. This was however still not enough as the player count jumped to 360k after 5 1⁄2 minutes. We managed to increase the rate limit from 10,000/min to 20,000/min and the total capacity of concurrent players was increased from 250,000 total to 360,000 total. ![]() To speak in technical terms, our services as well as our partner services have a rate limiter that denies connections beyond a volume per minute to prevent the entire system from failing. With it we deployed three “rapid-fixes” aimed at improving the situation with rewards often not being handed out properly, login-issues, and server capacity. Here’s his statement in full, posted to the Helldivers 2 Discord: Hey Everyone, Thank you for your patience during the server maintenance. Pilestedt issued an apology, and said Arrowhead was working as hard as it could to sort the server problems out. Even when the total capacity was increased from 250,000 to 360,000 total, the player count jumped to 360,000 after just five and a half minutes, Pilestedt said. The long and short of it is that as Arrowhead worked to increase Helldivers 2’s rate limiter for its servers, the number of players logging on surpassed the limit. Now, Arrowhead boss Johan Pilestedt has issued a statement explaining what went wrong.
