It is not surprising that newly released multiplayer games have their own set of server and connectivity issues. The newest one is the GameGuard Error Code 360, so let’s see how to fix it in Helldivers 2.
Helldivers 2 was released a week ago and has suffered due to its success. So many players wanted to join that it overwhelmed the servers and caused a lot of trouble. Thankfully, Arrowhead Game Studios are well aware of each and every problem and are doing their best to address each one.
