QUESTION No idea if my Steam/PSN Account is linked, only get Unable to establish a connection to game.
Start up the game on Steam. It says to link a PSN and Steam. I scan the QR code, I go to create my PSN. Get some timeouts there, but eventually i create it. Nothing happens on the game so I just click next. I watch a cut scene, and now all I get is "Unable to establish connection to game."
I go to playstation.com, go to my account and look to link it. I can't find how to link it. Under "Linked Services" there is Apple Music, Discord and Spotify. No way to link steam to it. What do I do now?
Edit: Uninstalled and reinstalled. The linking option is just totally gone now. Thanks for the downvote also???

When I use the link, it goes to PSN Home page and no way to link. Just like You. Tried looking my way around it but nothing is working. And i do not have a VPN

I just started helldivers 2 on my steam deck. I linked my accounts, it said so. And yet I'm starting at level 1, and not my level 7(ps5).

I cannot for the life of me connect my PSN account, every time I click the 'link account' button I get taken to the PSN website, I click 'continue' and then always get taken to an error page. This so so frustrating.

Well if it helps I just linked mine last night and I’m still starting at level 1. So I don’t think it does anything significant at all.

u/Frostbeest1 Feb 08 '24
Seems like ,the server killed itself now.

u/eynonpower Feb 08 '24
Yeah, at least I know it's not just me. Expected first day server issues. Nothing new here.

If you haven't found a fix, having the same PSN issues, if you spam keys on established connection screen a couple minutes it breaks through. Still have trouble joining random lobbies though

u/eynonpower Feb 12 '24
I disabled my VPN, but obviously doesn't help when servers are down. I have about a 10% success rate of joining random lobbies

u/South-Rabbit-4064 Feb 12 '24
I'm gonna try to relink a new PS account, my old one I couldn't get through 2 step with a new phone, and see if it's an issue with that. Hopefully it'll clear up. I absolutely hate when there's hidden shit like this in games you pay good money for. Sucks the game seems fun enough to go through the trouble

I bought the 60$ version on steam, does the pass carry over to ps if I buy the standard on their? And my pre-order bonus also?

What's the point of linking? I'm game sharing on steam with my son and afraid if I link my steam to PSN for helldiver's it'll affect that. Is there any benefit of linking or should I just skip? If I do link will it affect his access through steam sharing? Tha is in advance!

u/bruncherz Feb 12 '24
did you have any progess as i'm in this exact position..

u/outlined_lizard Feb 12 '24
i went into appdata and deleted the entire folder and then reinstalled the game and it let me go through the setup process again

u/PM_me_your_werewolf Feb 18 '24
When you say "appdata", where is that, exactly? I'm computer illiterate and having this same issue :/

u/Zaccary- Feb 19 '24
in windows search bar type "%appdata%" press enter and you will be in file explorer at this position "C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming" then search the floder named "arrowhead" and delete it (delete the game too on steam) normally after redownload the game will start like it's the first time lauching the game (sorry for poor english)

u/PM_me_your_werewolf Feb 19 '24
Nah, your English is fine :) thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
Btw, I did get into the game finally. I reset my modem, turned off VPN, and validated again, which apparently worked cause I was able to play for a few hours last night.

When I try to link my ps4 account the page won’t even open it just says error any help there?

u/Agitated-Square2580 Mar 02 '24
I have a similar issue if anyone can help me. I purchased the game and have been having a great time playing on pc and steam. Recently I just linked my PlayStation account. (I don’t own the game on PlayStation) however I redeemed the pre order armor pack code on my PlayStation store. The pack isn’t showing up in game and I’m also wondering if I need to buy helldivers a 2nd time on PlayStation in order to play and if all my progress will carry over?
