I ironically haven’t gotten a crash since like the 2nd day I’ve played. Just the weird slowdown shyt i got yesterday that forced me to reset

That means they’re doing their job and they addressed whatever bugs were messing with you. A sign of great and hopefully consistent work for the life if this title.

Yeah, i think they really need to prioritize matchmaking for the sake of getting solo players into groups this week

It’s working pretty well. I jumped on for an early game just because I was up early. Had two people join me like right after I selected a mission. It’s like they were waiting in a queue.

It works perfectly if you just start your own mission/operation.

Quick play needs to just work better across the board

I guess everyone had the same idea I had yesterday, oh wel….Victory

DISPATCH FROM SUPER EARTH HIGH COMMAND

**VICTORY!** Heeth and Angel’s Venture have been returned to the nurturing embrace of Managed Democracy, thanks to the tireless efforts and unhesitating sacrifices of the Helldivers. As eager colonists flock to forge a new future upon this fertile ground, mounds of the bug carcasses harvested by your hands will fuel the spread of Managed Democracy ever further.

In recognition of your selfless service, a Victory Bonus has been delivered to every Super Destroyer in the fleet. As you requisition upgrades to your weaponry, know that all Super Earth Citizens are grateful for your sacrifice.

Super Earth High Command is currently conducting DDMP (Democratic Decision-Making Process) analysis to determine the most optimal next step. **Further orders will be issued shortly.**

In the meantime, it is left to each Helldiver to exercise their elite tactical judgment in determining where best to spread Freedom next. To maximize that impact, High Command has waived safety protocols in order to fast-track the authorization of a certain stratagem’s usage for a short time. Details will be available on your ship.

**Well done, Helldivers. You have earned a moment to celebrate.
Now that we have celebrated, it is time to press the advantage. To the next fight!**
