As with most online multiplayer games, you may have come across a few errors while playing Helldivers 2. One of the worst issues is the Quickplay Matchmaking. While players can still create groups and join the game, they cannot quickplay with random players. The Helldivers 2 “failed to join game lobby” error is one of the most common errors that many players have encountered and there is a solution.

While there is no permanent fix for this issue yet, developers Arrowhead Game Studios are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. In the meantime, there are a few things players can do as a temporary workaround. While it is likely that the error is on the developer’s end, it is worth checking a few things on your end.

As mentioned, there is currently no fix, but this tweet from Game Director Mikael Eriksson indicates that the problems should be over soon. In the meantime, here are some troubleshooting tips that will help you bypass the Helldivers 2 failed to join game lobby error.

Although Quickplay is not working, players can still form their groups and play the game. If you don’t have any friends who play Helldivers 2, you can search for other players on Reddit, Discord or other social media platforms. Players can add them as friends and invite them or join their team to play the game. This is one of the best ways to bypass the ‘failed to join game lobby’ error that players are currently facing.
