“Hey divers! Earlier this evening we encountered server issues with a high number of concurrent players,” Arrowhead wrote. “This has resulted in some mission payments failing, some players being kicked back to their ships, or being disconnected.
“Our team is working around the clock to resolve these issues. While we have been able to mitigate some of the causes, we are still struggling to keep up with the scale required to accommodate all of our Helldivers.
