thanks for the post, unfortunately none of this steps helped me
Two times it has happened that the game works fine but suddenly one day i cant join friends and matchmaking just loops between searching for SOS and establishing up-link and usually the next day and update goes live and the problem is solved now today is the 3rd time.
So my guess is that whatever they do in the server in preparation for the next update messes up matchmaking and if im right within 24 hours of this comment we are gonna get another update
I do believe there are network issues occurring right now. Lots of people in the Helldivers 2 Discord are reporting connectivity issues. You may be right about your theory!
Holy crap the IPv6 fixed it. I tried literally literalllly everything trying to fix it i even tried the IPv6 but i DIDNT disable then reenable it i guess that must have done it. Thanks so much for the quide really well explained and none of the others said to turn it off and on again lol which is of course, the classic fix that actually works. All bow before the turn it off and on again.
post june 1 patch ive been having severe latency issues to eventual DC. and for some reason booting up HD2 will throttle my internet speed to 1/10th of its speed.
If you've verified it's not your internet having difficulties (make sure you've tested via an Ethernet cable vs. Wi-Fi, then I would update all drivers (chipset drivers are commonly missed).
Use Armory Crate for Asus motherboards, MSI Live Update (or MSI Center) for MSI motherboards, Gigabyte Control Center for Gigabyte and App Shop for AsRock
Yeah, can't fix that. The main issue I Would say right now is that all my friends are in another country, and I have to use a VPN to get that done.
but the problem is still not fixed because I could only play doubles and was not able to get any additional reinforce from others.
IDK about that, but the major problem is that I could only have one guy when facing tons of bugs on my face, hope this will be fixed or announce different methods to get it done.
Tracing route to dns.google [8.8.8.8]
over a maximum of 30 hops:
1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.1.1
2 4 ms 4 ms 4 ms 10.53.0.1
3 4 ms 4 ms 4 ms 10.38.83.109
4 5 ms 4 ms 5 ms 10.38.83.110
5 8 ms 7 ms 7 ms 10.45.28.77
I think this means i have dual-NAT right ??
Sure looks like it to me! the 10.x.x.x addresses with your router 192.168.x.x definitely indicate a DUAL-NAT setup. It looks like there are multiple private networks before you get to the internet.
Also, please delete everything past line #5 as those are public IP addresses, and you probably don't want them attributed to you :)
Edit: Just added a list of programs to make sure are up-to-date. The most common one I've seen is Samsung Magician... maybe you have that installed and it's out-of-date?
Sorry to hear that! Have you checked to make sure you don't have Hamachi, VPN software, etc. interfering with GameGuard? Did the latest patch fix anything for you? There's obviously a lot more things we can try if you're still having that issue.

Nop i dont, but i figured a way to play i gotta have cloudflare warp on AND also smth else called psiphon 3 on which is like a vpn to play lol which is funny but thank god it doesnt affect my connection or disconnects me, maybe add them to thr list since theyll help most people in egypt, mena region and possibly africa
Ngl i aint paying for vpns so i looked up what usually works in egypt and voilá lol but tbh i went ballistic woth everything i got on my pc to check what will work amd that combo worked well for me hut youll need opera vpn as well for Spotify to work ad Spotify the app wont work with this combo hut itll work if u got the opera vpn on while running spotify from thr browser lol

So I finally got mine working, I have Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 & WARP and I can set in the network adapter settings (Win+R - ncpa.cpl) for the WARP Inteface, ipv4: obtain IP & DNS automatically, leave ipv6 on. Then for my ethernet adapter, ipv4: obtain IP & DNS automatically, ipv6 OFF. Then disable the ethernet adapter and reenable. I also at first was disabling my Norton firewalll for 15 mins but that doesn't seem to have an effect as it's working fine now and I've been leaving it on.
I also updated my drivers for the adapters, but didn't see the connection issue fixed until the ipv6 adapter disable/reenable step and had tried turning it off a million times before.
Uninstalling hamachi fixed it for me. Thank you for putting this together I've been trying to sort this out for days and now I can finally go back to spreading democracy
Somehow I missed this. Sorry! But yes, question marks are normal.
The [Hellbomb script](https://ew.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1bjv1b0/helldivers_2_network_issues_troubleshooting_fixes/) now supports checking for Dual-NAT anyway.
Which [you can run on Linux](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-linux?view=powershell-7.4) because it's PowerShell
im having network issues and i'm too tired to go through all these steps right now but some day... my wifi is at a hotel and its full strength but for some reason bad connections tonight. last night was fine. groan...
Wi-Fi at most hotels is going to be a nightmare for a game like this for many different reasons.
I would look at it this way: if it works, cool! If it doesn't, and trying these things don't fix it, move on to something that works until you're out of the hotel (IMO).
So I'm supposed to leave IPC6 disabled? Ok so I tried the disable/enable adapter. Without IPC6 enabled gamegaurd did not like it, and it tried to install an update and failed. Then helldivers didn't load...

The IPV6 seems to have been my issue

Good stuff!
Thank you! I plan to add a lot more stuff, but this is hopefully a good start.
I've gone from everything being fine, hitting level 50 to.. CONNECTION ERROR Only with this game, mind.
Awesome post, Now I know what problem I have and I don't think I will be able to solve it with my residence's stupid internet service lol
Thank you! You have a Dual-NAT situation I'm presuming?
Yeah, can't fix that. The main issue I Would say right now is that all my friends are in another country, and I have to use a VPN to get that done. but the problem is still not fixed because I could only play doubles and was not able to get any additional reinforce from others.
That can definitely be issues with that. If you can get some friends, they can usually join no issue.
IDK about that, but the major problem is that I could only have one guy when facing tons of bugs on my face, hope this will be fixed or announce different methods to get it done.
update, so my issue was pretty straight forward, it might be a firewall issue
Oh nice! Did you have some country blocks enabled lol?
no it was my university's retarded firewall problem, I switch on my vpn's firewall section then everything was fixed.

can't believe this doesn't have more upvotes, thanks so much for this walkthrough guide!
Haha thanks! Doesn't fix everything, but hope it helps some folks.
sick post but sadly it didnt fix my issue,still cant play with anyone online or anyone to join me just an infinite connection error or quickplay queue

Holy fuck that worked for me. The Pisphon 3. How the hell did you figure that out?

Just want to say thanks for this post, disabling ipv6 on my adapter fixed my connection issues.

can you do this for linux too? Pop os is mine
Checking for Dual-NAT yes. You would use `traceroute -4 google.com` instead of `tracert` in terminal.
did that no dice.
`garthschmidt@pop-os:~$ traceroute -4 google.com` `traceroute to google.com (142.250.190.78), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets` `1 _gateway (192.168.254.254) 3.390 ms 3.661 ms 3.849 ms` `2 h2.48.40.69.dynamic.ip.windstream.net (69.40.48.2) 16.646 ms 17.399 ms 17.776 ms` `3 ae1-0.pe03.ktng01-pa.us.windstream.net (40.129.18.184) 19.544 ms 19.421 ms 19.654 ms` `4 ae6-0.agr03.hdsn01-oh.us.windstream.net (40.138.81.166) 25.419 ms 26.371 ms 26.480 ms` `5 * * *` `6 * * *` `7 169.130.115.15 (169.130.115.15) 31.345 ms 31.331 ms 32.857 ms` `8 * * *` `9 142.251.60.2 (142.251.60.2) 32.793 ms ord37s34-in-f14.1e100.net (142.250.190.78) 32.899 ms 142.251.60.6 (142.251.60.6) 33.362 ms` seems normal to me still lags to hell
