One of the most recurring problems players face is an infinite loading screen when trying to buy Super Credits via the in-game store. Users report that the Steam purchase window never appears or completes the transaction.

A common fix that's helped many is to ensure the Steam Overlay is enabled specifically for Helldivers 2:
“Figured out the problem with the steam overlay issue. You need to right-click the game … go to properties and enable steam overlay there… After that restart game and it will work.”
If the Steam Overlay isn't active—even if it's enabled globally—Helldivers 2 may block purchase attempts altogether.
Another reported issue is that Super Credits seem to vanish after purchase, especially when players log out and back in. Reddit users uncovered the glitch:
“When you purchase them there is an error ... Steam is making the purchase and turning it into Steam money ... log off, log back in ... open the super credit store and click to purchase the amount you want again and it will auto-cash the Steam money and give you the super credits.”
Essentially, the purchase went through on Steam, but the game didn't credit the Super Credits due to a display issue. Logging out and retrying the store purchase triggers the redemption.
For players looking to avoid these glitches altogether, the safest approach is to keep your client updated and double-check your Steam transactions before attempting again. Many seasoned players recommend using trusted marketplaces when you want to buy Helldivers 2 Super Credits, ensuring you get a smooth and reliable top-up without waiting for in-game fixes.
According to reports, some players' Super Credits are indeed purchased but don't display correctly:
“Your credits are there, but due to filtering issues in our system, they are not displaying correctly.”
Community updates shared that a backend fix was deployed to resolve this:
“For players who were missing Super Credits, we have deployed a fix to our backend that should solve the issue. Please restart your game to ensure that it has taken effect.”
| Symptom | Cause | Suggested Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Endless loading during purchase | Steam Overlay not properly enabled for Helldivers 2 | Enable overlay in game properties, then restart and retry purchase |
| Credits not showing post-purchase | UI/display glitch or backend delay | Log out/in or restart the game to trigger credit redemption |
| Credits missing even after buying | Backend filtering/display bug | Restart the game after backend fix; or retry store purchase |

By taking these steps, most players are able to successfully purchase—and finally see—their Super Credits.
