Helldivers 2 is quickly becoming a massive story for Arrowhead Game Studios, although there have been some snags on the road to glory. One of the biggest frustrations plaguing Helldivers 2 is Error Code 10002038, causing people to be unable to join a lobby to play the hit co-op shooter. There is a simple answer and solution to this issue.
What is Error Code 10002038 in Helldivers 2?
Error 10002038 means the Helldivers 2 server is overloaded. This is especially surprising for players as there are other messages you can get instead that say the same message. The developers recently stated they would keep the servers capped at 450,000 to improve server stability, but this still doesn’t ward off all issues, unfortunately.
How to Fix Error 10002038 and Check Server Status
Currently, the best solution for this error is to try again, as other players might have their game passively running and may finish their session at any point. It’s frustrating but players will need to wait if they want to join, and there’s no other fix for this error other than patience.
If servers still seem overloaded or you get other errors, it’s also a good idea to keep an eye on its Downdetector page. This can account for other types of server outages, and confirm for you whether the game is giving other players issues worldwide. Finally, there’s nothing wrong with keeping the Arrowhead Game Studios X account bookmarked, as you will typically get the most current updates there.
It can be frustrating waiting for errors to clear up or for server space to open, especially since you’re a paying customer unable to access their game. AGS is working hard on a solution, and we wish them only the best as they’ve produced the finest new shooter in early 2024.
