Helldivers 2 is a third-person co-op shooter with a large fanbase, which means servers may cause problems if too many people play at the same time. Hence, you may need a quick fix for the "Quickplay not working" and "failed to join game lobby" errors.
How to solve Helldivers 2 'Failed to join' error - Quickplay not working
Quickplay not working is one of the major Helldivers 2 errors, which creates a 'Failed to join game lobby' problem. One thing you can do to solve the Quickplay error is to disable crossplay by following the instructions below. If done correctly, you won't be able to play with players from other platforms, but you'll at least be able to play the game.
- Press the Escape button.
- Click on the Options tab at the top of the menu.
- Click the Gameplay tab on the left-hand side of the screen.
- Look for the Crossplay option on the right and turn it off.
- Save settings.
Is there a permanent solution to the Quickplay bug in Helldivers 2?
While the quick fix is to disable crossplay, the whole idea of the game is to play with friends who have different gaming platforms. Developers were aware of issues players have while trying to join the game via Quickplay, so they've uploaded a Helldivers 2 patch to Steam in an attempt to solve the problem. If you still have issues, turn off the Helldivers 2 crossplay option.
