Helldivers 2: How To Skip The Server Capacity Queue

Helldivers 2 features an endless Galactic War against Super Earth's enemies, including Automatons and Terminids.

The game has had a few bugs and glitches here and there since its launch, but that has not stopped the fight against bugs and bots. However, many players are encountering an issue that prevents them from getting past the main title screen. This guide breaks down how you can get past the Server capacity error in the game.

What Is The Server Capacity Error?

The "Server at capacity. Please try again later" error has become a common sight in the game, especially when peak concurrent players are playing the game. This stops divers from getting past the main title screen and puts them in a long queue without a timeframe.

How To Skip The Server Capacity Queue

While the developers are working on a permanent fix to let every diver get into the game as soon as they launch it, there is a temporary fix for now. We have tested this method, which allows skipping the Server capacity queue, and it works every time.

The only catch is that you need at least one friend online on your PlayStation 5 or PC Steam and be in the lobby for this fix to work. This method also works while your friend is playing a mission but has at least one free slot available in the squad.

On PC Steam, clicking "Friends & Chat" will open up a pop-up window for available friends playing the game. When you see anyone playing the game, clicking on the drop-down button near their ID will reveal a prompt called "Join/Play." Clicking it will start your Helldivers 2 application and will take you directly into the lobby right after the introduction cutscene of the game.

This works the same way on PlayStation 5. Going to the friends list will reveal if anyone is available and playing the game. Selecting the option to join their game will take you directly from PlayStation 5's home screen to the game's lobby directly.

If you do not have active friends playing the game, you have no alternate way to skip the Server capacity queue issue except waiting for the game to let you in. This could take a while, and potentially, the wait time lasts from 15 minutes to one hour or more, which is a lot of downtime to wait at the title screen.

Some players have also reported that fully closing down the game and relaunching it might help in getting past this bug.
