Playing Helldivers 2 on crossplay but have friends that constantly disconnect? Well, we were able to discover a fix for that. Frustrating as it may, your problems with friends playing on different consoles or PCs may possible be over with this simple fix.
The host can be on any platform and the teammates from any console or PC. The key thing here is that the one who turns off the Crossplay option should be the host. This also means that players can have a console host with PC players as joiners and vice-versa.
As of the writing of this article, me and my friends were able to try out and prove the effectiveness of the above solution. After trying other suggested fixes online, like connecting mid-game and changing hosts, this is the only method that worked for us. With the above steps, we managed to finish a mission with a full party without any disconnects.
Aside from doing the above solution, the problems may lie in the internet connection of your friends playing on the console or PC. You may want to have them try joining some few random missions to see if their internet is stable enough to play with. This is so you can isolate the issue which may lead you to the method listed above if all else fails.
Helldivers 2 has finally opened itself up to different platforms by recently allowing players on the Xbox to join PS5 and PC players in hunting down the enemies of mankind. However, this interconnection between different platforms is not without any issues or faults. Players have reported being disconnected abruptly during play or have had issues with connecting to other players playing on a different platform. The game is made to be played with friends and the disconnections have caused quite a frustration to some, leading them to leave the game until the issue gets a formal and effective fix.
