Dear Focus Entertainment and Saber Interactive team, 

I'm writing to report a critical, widespread issue affecting the multiplayer functionality of Space Marine 2. Since the game's release, a significant number of players have been unable to access multiplayer features due to persistent server connection problems.

The most common issue is players getting stuck on the "Joining Server" screen indefinitely. This problem has been reported on XBOX, PC and PlayStation platforms and affects various multiplayer modes.

This issue has been extensively documented by the community. A megathread on Reddit has been created to compile player experiences and bring attention to the problem:

[MEGA-THREAD] "Joining Server" / Connection Issues


Key points:

  1. The issue is affecting a large number of players.
  2. It's impacting both PC, XBOX and PlayStation platforms.
  3. Multiple multiplayer modes are affected, including co-op campaign.
  4. Suggested workarounds have been inconsistent in their effectiveness.
  5. The problem persists even after the game's official release.

We kindly request:

  1. Official acknowledgment of this issue.
  2. Regular updates on the progress towards a fix.
  3. A clear timeline for when players can expect the multiplayer to function as intended.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your response and to being able to fully enjoy Space Marine 2's multiplayer experience.


Kind Regards,

MemphiZ

The server issues continue to be more and more frustrating. I just want to play this game and get my progress. It is extremely hard to ever get into multiplayer game solo queue and then when I do half of the time after a victory of operations I crash out before the rewards tab and get no progress. It is nearly impossible for me to play with friends as at any given moment one of us will have server problems. Bump up your server capacity this is ridiculous.

I played since early access and had no problems until around 4 days ago.
As example, last night I played 3 matches in just over 3 and half hours. The rest of the time was either empty lobby, waiting for a 3rd person for several minutes who never appeared, or restarting the client. So my time was spent approx 1.5 hours enjoying the game, and 2 hours frustrated.

I believe this effects gameplay too. I noticed during the second game a red signal icon came on top right and the game totally changed. Previous to this I was enjoying the cinematic nature of the combat, on my 3rd class to lv25 I'm pretty confident at this point. Soon after the red signal icon appeared, the enemies stood still for a brief moment after a dodge, just long enough it was noticeable but quickly continued. After this pause, I couldn't dodge anything, couldn't parry properly, all timings were off for the rest of that run.

I'm fairly certain at this point classes like Assault which are so polarising(my main class) really need a good server, otherwise you're just screwed over with the timings. I've seen people suggest and felt myself there is some inconsistency to dodge and parry but couldn't quite explain it. I've also had assault jump just stop working and had the heavy melta refuse to fire. I think the servers may be to blame for more than poor matchmaking.

Hopefully things improve soon.

I've been having the same issues match making, even while hosting now and I'm running on a ridiculously good PC. 

Mitigations I've tried such as quitting to the main screen and re-entering the game works hit/miss. 

To compound the issue, there doesn't seem to be any queuing based on the current selected class, 

for example:

This morning quitting to the main screen and back again a total of 6 times before I was able to find a game with anyone else, either there is an infinite hour glass that seems to time out after around 2 minutes-ish.

Upon finally finding a game with another player PC/Xbox/PS find out that another person already has my same class. 

Switch to other class (lowest level is 20), then everyone leaves the 'minimal difficulty' game because the class I had to switch to, wasn't level appropriate. 

TLDR: Spent over 2 hours pulling my hair out, only to log off in frustration

Step by step of the bug
Step 1
Load game in Operations mode.
Step 2
Watch spinning hour glasses for ten minutes as you try to connect to other players/others to you.
Step 3
Quit to main menu/desktop and reload the game.
Step 4
Repeat ad-nauseum until you get frustrated and play another game.
