I’ve been having a frustrating issue with Helldivers 2 lately and I’m hoping someone here might have some insight or solutions. No matter what I try, I can’t seem to join any lobby in Helldivers 2. It’s not just my friends’ games; I can’t join any quickplay games either.
I’m based in Egypt, and I’m starting to wonder if this might be a regional issue. I’ve checked my internet connection, restarted the game and my console, but nothing seems to work. It’s really putting a damper on my Helldiving experience, and I miss teaming up with friends and fellow divers.
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem, especially in the Egypt region? Or does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing this or how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Is Egypt a restricted/ banned country for PSN?
Hi OP, I’m currently visiting Egypt from America. I can try some things on my end and let you know how it goes. Are you currently using a vpn with the game?
Maybe turning off crossplay will help
Server problem for sure. sometimes people in a region randomly drops from game no matter what VPN/PC/steam account they used.
Viops are banned in egypt and helldivers 2 servers uses them. So online multiplayer is a no go
i dont have an Egyptian psn because its not available i use an American one, could that be the reason?
hey that would really help !! but no im not using a vpn i just bought the game and i cant join any game
u/thedorkknight123 but the finals also uses viops and it works fine
No luck on my side. I can try to connect to a VPN and see if that helps any.
Interesting, sadly I’m not very educated in networking technology to answer you but maybe that’s a lead we could work on. But from a quick Google search it seems its only used in the voice chat function unlike helldivers which utilises it as part of its gameplay servers it seems
