Helldivers 2 update 1.000.11 patch notes: auto-kicks for server campers

Remain AFK for too long and you’ll get the boot

Players of Helldivers 2 have resorted to staying logged into the game even if they have to leave for school or work just to be able to play again without delay after coming back, because server troubles have them fearing that they won’t be able to log in again. In update 1.000.11 for the title, which Arrowhead deployed for PC and PS5 on February 22, 2024, the developer is countering this strategy.

Users who remain idle in Helldivers 2 for 15 minutes will be auto-kicked back to the title screen, making room on the game servers for those who want to play right then and there. It’s certainly the right measure to take, but it begs the question of when the co-op game will finally get a grip on its teething issues. Players are resorting to these desperate measures, because they feel that there is no other way.

In any case, you can find the full Helldivers 2 update 1.000.11 patch notes below.
