Exploring possible fixes for Helldivers 2 Failed to Join error
As mentioned earlier, there is no official fix as of yet for Helldivers 2 Failed to Join error. We advise players to make sure there are no issues with the internet connection on their end.
If there are none, restarting and reloading the game and disabling crossplay may also do the trick. These are not sure-fire fixes, and we will update this article if there is any official communication regarding the same. Conversely, fans can also choose to play Helldivers solo for the time being as they wait for the Failed to Join error to be fixed.
The Helldivers 2 Failed to Join error is likely due to the servers getting overwhelmed at launch with the large number of players currently active in-game simultaneously.
