Recommended fixes for Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 joining server bug
There are several ways players can attempt to stop the joining server bug from impacting their online Space Marine 2 experience.
We've listed a few that should allow players to load alongside their fellow Space Marines with ease.
Disable crossplay
The first fix we recommend is to disable crossplay, as it's a common cause of server problems in other shooter games.
However, switching off crossplay prevents players from battling with others on a different platform, restricting any kind of co-op play to those on the same platforms.
Verifying game files
Another workaround involves verifying the game files.
Although this process may take a while, ensuring there aren't any corrupted or missing files disrupting the action can make the difference.
Direct invitations
The third and final fix we recommend is in the form of direct invitations.
Using an in-game code rather than accepting an invitation through the PC or console can completely avoid any instances of the joining server bug, which is great news for those who are unable to join matches.
If all else fails, waiting for the developers to apply a fix is the only option. They're already working on addressing the issues, so it shouldn't be long before the bug is squashed once and for all.
