Helldivers 2 Stuck On Ship Loading Screen

A new persistent connection error has cropped up in Helldivers 2, and it is freezing players either aboard their ship when solo, or stuck in drop pod when loading in on a friend. This Helldivers 2 guide is a collection of every known solution to the problem and possible reasons why.

Helldivers 2 Stuck On Ship Loading Screen

The symptoms of this new issue appear to share similarities with both the “Defrosting Helldiver” infinite loading screen, and the black screen on startup bug. A number of fixes for both have some overlap with this bug. Listed below are solutions from painless to the most complex.

 

Watch The Entire Intro Cutscene

For some reason, players are reporting that watching the entirety of the intro video has consistently avoided freezing issues. This is possibly because the game will have adequate time to establish server communications in the background.

Reboot Your Device

Whether on PlayStation 5 or PC, the simplest fix has always been to restart your machine and get a fresh start. If there are any  local network connectivity issues, this should resolve them as well. Failing that, you can proceed on to more advanced measures.

Verify Game Files

That most common fix for games that are experiencing technical issues. A corrupted installation is said to be the cause of the issue for some players on both PlayStation 5 and Steam PC. You may want to either perform a fresh install, or simply use the “Verify integrity of game files” function by right-clicking Helldivers 2 -> Properties -> Installed Files. Here’s a detailed guide to verifying game file integrity from Steam itself.

As an added aside, always make sure the game is updated. Since Helldivers 2 is an online-only, Games-as-a-Service (GaaS) title, if your game version isn’t synced with the server, you will not be able to login properly.

 

Reset Config File

You can force the game to reset its settings to default. Navigate to C:\Users\[your PC name]\AppData\Roaming\Arrowhead\Helldivers2 and rename user_settings.config to user_settings.config.old or anything of your choice. This will create the config file anew, and should resolve the stuck on loading screen glitch.

 

Potential Black Screen fix
byu/Aureum_Castrum inHelldivers

 

While users on the SteamCommunity that have had success with this method generally recommend deleting the file, you’re better off renaming it just to be safe.

 

Disable Firewall

Firewall interference has been noted as the cause of the issue for some players, and temporarily turning it off or creating an exception for Helldivers 2 is a potential fix. If security is a concern, the firewall can be turned back on after successfully loading into a mission.

 

Disable VPN

Players with VPNs may want to skip the middleman for once, as it is known to trip up server connectivity in Helldivers 2. If the VPN is vital to your online security, try switching to another city or country.

 

Change DNS Server

DNS servers perform IP lookups, and your default DNS server may not be all that reliable, especially if it is offered by your internet service provider. You can try Cloudflare’s DNS services with 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1

Here are several more DNS server options to choose from.

 

Disable IPv6

A more technical fix than most of us would like, nonetheless it has had success for many players as a last resort. According to multiple redditors, disabling IPv6, and falling back on IPv4 works 100% of the time for instances where no other solution worked.

Helldivers 2 First Person Mode Switch And Settings

The original Helldivers released in early 2015 and was a twin-stick top-down shooter while its sequel, Helldivers 2, is primarily a third person shooter. However, the game does allow you to briefly switch to the first person POV under the right circumstances, and there are some settings that can make the whole experience easier in the heat of battle.

UPDATED April 16

 

Helldivers 2 Update Patch Notes 01.000.203 Apr 16

 

Helldivers 2 Switch To First Person

Helldivers 2 Dynamic Aim Mode
Helldivers 2 Dynamic Aim Mode

On PC, the default keybind to switch to first person is the middle mouse button, while on PlayStation 5 players would need to click in the right thumbstick. However both require you to aim down sights with the weapon first, if your aim setting is set to ‘hold’ the.

Additionally, with mouse & keyboard, if you’ve modified your aim setting to ‘press’ (tap) rather than ‘hold’, the camera will not switch. Instead try Dynamic Aim Mode, which will give you first person ADS directly with a press/tap, and third person with hold. This can be found in Settings -> Options -> Gameplay, towards the bottom, as pictured above, and will be greyed out if a controller is even plugged in, even though you may not be actively using it.

All told, this is the only time you can switch to first person mode in Helldivers 2, aside from a random bug that lasts for a few seconds. If you’re hoping to be able to traverse the map and do anything besides shooting in first person, you’re out of luck, at least until the developers decide to give in to the demands of the vocal sections of the online community.

Having said that, the key/button sequence required to shoot in first person may annoy some players, so there are some settings that can be modified to default to first person when aiming down sights, based on weapon, without the extra step.

Aside from what is mentioned above regarding the use of Dynamic Aim Mode, there are also some settings to make use of first person by default based on weapon selection. This can be found in Settings -> Options -> Gameplay as pictured above. While ‘Global’ may seem like the obvious choice, it is actually recommended that you use ‘Per Weapon’ instead.

 

Sony Promises Helldivers 3 Will Debut With at Least Two, Possibly Three Servers

 

This is because  the first person mechanics appear to have been a design afterthought in Helldivers 2, and can cause some buggy behaviour with certain weapons. Your mileage may vary, but the Marksmen/Sniper often miss entirely especially while standing near or behind cover.

Those are all the settings related to effectively using FPS mode in Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 10003001 Error Code Fix

New Helldivers 2 patch, new problems with online connectivity. If you’re one of the Helldivers 2 players seeing this new error code on the launch splash screen, this quick guide will tell you how you can possibly fix it.

UPDATED April 16

 

Helldivers 2 Update Patch Notes 01.000.203 Apr 16

 

Helldivers 2 10003001 Error Code

Despite what most players think, this is not in fact a new error, but the same old “Servers at capacity. Please try again later” error that we’re all used to by now, and appears predominantly for PlayStation 5 players. The original, more verbose message is randomly obfuscated by the error code. A restart of the game may show you the same splash screen but with the actual message this time. Fortunately, the troubleshooting solutions for error code 10003001 remain the same.

 

Helldivers 2 Servers At Capacity

The concurrent player cap at this time remains unchanged at 450K. If a player attempts to join the normal way when the servers are congested, they will simply be placed in a non-transparent queue, with no indication of wait time. Hammering retry isn’t necessarily going to work after the tenth time.

Helldivers 2 Crossplay Toggle

PlayStation 5 players should try disabling CrossPlay, as it appears to put controller purists in a different player queue/pool. The setting is buried in Settings -> Options -> Gameplay -> Off. This might also work for Steam players as well, assuming that queue reservation for mouse and keyboard purists has also been implemented by the developers.

 

Helldivers 2 Fix Error 10003001 With Friends

On Steam PC, do NOT launch Helldivers 2. Instead find the profile of an Online friend who has already successfully connected to Helldivers 2, and select Join Game. This will boot up the game automatically and load you directly into their ship after a brief black screen, lasting up to a minute.

On PlayStation 5, you can join a friend that has successfully loaded into the game, either though an invite, or manually from their profile or party screens. PlayStation 5 players can also attempt the method mentioned in the following Reddit post:

 

Comment

This method works even in CrossPlay using invites, but is one-way only at this time: PlayStation players can receive invites from Steam PC players, but not the other way around. The Steam PC player must also set status to Online for the invite to be received.

 

Reminder: you can bypass the queue if you have a friend online
byu/ScrubWithaBanjo inHelldivers

 

The working theory is that either there is a social priority given to friends, especially since Helldivers 2 is an inherently social, co-op game, or that this is an unforeseen exploit of systems intended to allow squadmates that crash out to quickly rejoin a session.

 

Helldivers 2 Fix Error 10003001 Without Friends

Steam PC players can find a step by step guide to skip Helldivers 2 queues without a friend according to this Steam Community forum post. To clarify the method:

  • Ensure that Helldivers 2 is NOT running
  • Find a random forum poster on the Steam Community board for Helldivers 2 with a green outline around their profile pic: this indicates that they are Online currently.
  • Click their profile, and look on the right side for “Currently In-Game”. Ideally they will be playing Helldivers 2, so go ahead and click the green button below it that reads “Join Game”.
  • Helldivers 2 will automatically boot up, as that button is a steam://joinlobby link.
  • Don’t panic if you see a black screen, as that’s normal. Wait a beat or two, and you should be able to launch directly into the game.

Your mileage may vary on your first try, so don’t hesitate to make a second attempt if it seems like you’re hung on a black screen for too long.

There are even people reporting getting past the concurrent player cap of 450K after being denied with this method, though there is no way to accurately determine if a slot simply opened up during the brief wait time.

If the forums don’t work, try the looking-for-group (LFG) services on Reddit and both official and unofficial Discord servers for the game.

Participation in Gaming Harassment Campaign Destined to be Only Proof Man Existed

Gamer Nathan Jackson’s online participation in what he called a “fight for the soul of gaming” is destined to become the only actual proof that he ever existed, all-knowing sources confirmed.

When asked about his vitriolic postings, Jackson told reporters he was “simply asking questions.” The interview would prove to be one of the few times in his life anyone would ask his take on anything.

“AAA makes every girl character’s butt flat,” Jackson said, in what will likely become the last recorded quote from a bloodline which had spanned thousands of years. “I install mods to get around it but I don’t get why these wokies need to ruin everything.”

With no known significant life events to compete, and a bland death all but certain, the posts from Jackson’s @GamerHound81 account are set to be his only lasting impact on the world.

“We know wher eyou live bitch,” one post misdirected to someone he believed to be a community manager read. “AAA in the pockets of Vanguard, look at the jawlines.”

Information on Jackson’s offline life is sparse. He is reportedly 32 and from Daytona Beach, Florida – although we could not independently confirm those details. A school he attended had its website taken down years ago, and every link that includes his name leads to a 404 other than the GamerHound81 posts.

Experts believe his life circumstances are part of a growing trend.

“It’s similar to when there’s a TV show that was aired but no one has a recording of it. It’s basically like that but for a human life,’” Henry Garner, head of UCLA’s sociology department said. “There is so much we don’t know about this group of individuals though. They are very hard to study. Are you in contact with a specimen you can bring to my lab?”

At press time the @gamerhoud81 account had been deleted.

Battlefield Player Becomes 27th Sniper on Team, Insists on ‘Really Turning Match Around’

SINAI PENINSULA, EGYPT — Battlefield player Brendan Payne has reportedly switched his class from Assault to Scout in a bid to turn the match around, becoming the 27th player on his team to do so according to witnesses.

“My dumbass squadmates never protect me when I’m trying to destroy tanks, so I figured I’d switch things up,” explained Payne as he joined 26 other snipers on the 32-player losing team. “The problem is we don’t have enough long-range coverage, otherwise I would be leading the team in flag captures and vehicles destroyed. I’m getting smoked by infantry because nobody is looking out for me, so I guess I have to deal with that now. I’m really handy with the Lebel Model 1886, though, so this might be just what we need.”

Payne’s teammates include Charlie Squad and their leader, Bryan Windsor, who are the last remaining players on the British side equipped with automatic rifles, anti-tank weapons, ammunition, and healing items.

“We’ve lost everything. Nelson Ridge, the outskirts, Mazar Station, even that flag all the way out in the fucking desert,” said Windsor as a flametrooper elite class reduced him to ash. “Everything is gone, including the town itself now, because one-by-one everyone’s deciding to pitch a tent on that big ass rock arch over the canyon to snipe.”

“I’ve spent the last 8 minutes staring at the redeploy screen because I can’t move more than an inch without a tank or Hellriegel doming me,” Windsor added. “All of these Scouts think they’re heroes and they’ve got the worst KDs I’ve ever seen. Bullets whizz by and hit nothing but sand. I’m choking on the dust and incompetence.”

Opposing player Dominic Kelly had a markedly different take on the British team’s composition, noting that it reminded him of the days of Battlefield 2 stat padding.

“The way their scope glints light up on that ridge and across the dunes like rows of Christmas lights is endlessly funny to me,” said Kelly, who has spent the match flying the Ilya-Muromets heavy bomber equipped with high explosive cluster bombs. “All I’m doing now is flying overhead and deleting 9 or 10 of them at a time with the press of a button. In the old days you had to coordinate with some people in an empty Karkand server to get easy kills like this. They’re just serving themselves up here.”

Witnesses reported last seeing Payne using a Trench Periscope to observe the opposing team’s heavy bomber as it lined itself up for another pass.
