As much fun as Helldivers 2 is for those who are able to play, there have unfortunately been a number of issues preventing fellow soldiers from doing their part. Some, like matchmaking issues, do have methods to get around them and back into the fight, but what if you see the "Login limit reached" message when reporting for duty? While none are guaranteed to work, there are a few workarounds you can try to get back to the game.

How to fix the login limit reached error

The "Login limit reached" error stems from some issue with your connection to the server. While a fix on the developer's end will be needed to remove the problem entirely, there are some steps you can take to possibly resolve them sooner and get back to playing.

Step 1: The first step should be to reboot the game fully. Sometimes a clean boot is all you need to resolve the issue, so start here.

Step 2: If you have the option, try connecting via an Ethernet cable over Wi-Fi, or vice versa.

Step 3: If you use a VPN, try turning it off while running the game as it might be messing with your game's ability to connect. Alternatively, some people have reported using a VPN to connect from a different country to solve the issue, so experiment with both methods if you have that option.

If all else fails, simply waiting and attempting to connect after 5 to 10 minutes seems to be the only course of action we have until an official fix is released.

How to rebind skills in Avowed

Making proper use of all your best abilities in Avowed is the easiest of the tips and tricks you can take into the game. When you begin, you will have your healing and mana potions set on your quick select bar, followed by the first skill you unlock and first companion ability. That's great in the early game, but it isn't long before you unlock new skills that you want on that slot more than what is put there for you. You can always access all your abilities through the tactical menu, but that is a bit cumbersome. Instead, here's how you can remap your quick skills to whatever you want.

How long is Avowed?

When it was first revealed, Avowed drew a lot of comparisons to Skyrim. Both are fantasy RPGs playable in first or third-person and set in open worlds, so it made some sense to compare the two. However, Obsidian later clarified that Avowed was not an open world in the same sense as an Elder Scrolls, and was more hub-based like The Outer Worlds. This left fans wondering just how long of an RPG this would be. Even though the game will be available on Game Pass, it is important to know how long or short of a time investment is before deciding when you want to start it. Here's how long you can expect to spend exploring the Living Lands in Avowed.
How long is Avowed?

Even though the world in Avowed isn't anywhere close to as big as Skyrim, each zone is dense with activities, side quests, and secrets. Your playtime will heavily depend on how much optional content you decide to partake in. In our experience, doing most of the primary side content, our playthrough took around 35 hours. Had we focused only on the main story, we predict it could be finished in between 15 and 20 hours depending on the difficulty level and your individual skill. This is roughly the same as The Outer Worlds.

When Avowed was first revealed, it drew a lot of comparisons to a game like Skyrim. While there are some similarities, such as playing in third-person or unlocking new abilities, the Living Lands are not nearly as expansive as that other open-world game. You will need plenty of tips and tricks to survive, but getting around is one of the first problems you will want to overcome. Quests will take you back and forth across the zones, so fast travel will make your life much easier. Here's how to unlock and use fast travel.
