Ongoing Server Lag Making Co-op Nearly Unplayable After Recent Update

​My wife and I (plus a close friend) were super excited to jump back into Space Marine 2 after taking a short break — we were hyped for the new operation mission and prestige system. We’ve got a solid group that fills the 3-man ops perfectly, and we’ve always loved the game’s vibe and gameplay.

But ever since coming back, server performance has been awful — even in campaign. We’re all on fast, stable internet (1 Gbps fiber, no issues in any other games), and we play cross-platform (two PCs and an Xbox). The problems we’re running into:

  • Weapon reload animations stutter or loop 3–4 times before registering

  • Enemies lag or rubberband

  • Friends disconnect randomly from lobbies

  • “Joining Server” hangs or fails regularly

  • Even solo, bots are smoother than real players

This wasn’t happening before. Something clearly changed on the backend — and it feels like the servers were scaled down or deprioritized after launch, and now can’t handle returning traffic.

We’re not trying to hate — we love the game and want to play more. But right now, it’s basically unplayable with friends, which totally defeats the point of this co-op experience.

Please:

  • Look into server performance and matchmaking load

  • Let us host private co-op lobbies (without matchmaking)

  • At the very least, acknowledge the current issues publicly so we know it’s not on our end

This game has so much potential — don’t let poor network infrastructure kill the momentum. There are a lot of us still rooting for Space Marine 2 to succeed.
