Watch the Whole Intro Video

If you are getting stuck on the initial loading screen, the one where you can see your spaceship, it is recommended that you let the whole intro video play out. The reason is that this way the game has enough time to connect to the servers in the background. A painless solution, so give it a try.

Turn Your Internet Off and On

Another solution for the initial loading screen, some players reported that if you turn off your wi-fi/unplug your internet, while on the loading screen, that should load you in. Turn the wi-fi back on/plug the internet back in to reestablish the connection and you should be good to go.

Uncheck IPv6

If you are infinitely stuck on the dropping Hellpod screen, while loading the mission, there is a solution that has worked for the majority of players. Exit the game and open your Control Panel. Select Network and Internet, and then Network and Internet Sharing Center. There, select Change Adapter Settings, and then right-click on either Wi-Fi or Ethernet, whichever you are using, and select Properties. Under the Networking tab, you will see a list of items. Look for Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and uncheck it. Close everything and try playing a mission in Helldivers 2.
