Space Marine 2 players can try the following workarounds to fix this problem:

Disable the Crossplay Feature

If your game keeps showing connection errors and won’t load, try turning off Space Marine 2's Crossplay feature. For this, go to Settings from the menu, click on the Game tab in the top navigation bar, and then find Crossplay under the Network section. After that, just toggle off the Crossplay feature.

This will likely resolve your issue, but of course, players who want to play with their friends will have to turn it back on later.

Turn Off the Steam Overlay

Another quick fix for Error Code 140 is to turn off the Steam Overlay. If you’re using Steam, here’s how: Open Steam, click on the Steam option in the top left corner, go to Settings, then In Game, and turn off the Steam Overlay.

In addition to Steam Overlay, players might also need to turn off the Cloud Saves option. They can do this by going to Settings, clicking on the Cloud option, and switching off Cloud Saves.

Change the Time Zone Settings

Most players have found success by changing their Time Zone settings. To do this, head to PC Settings > Time and Language> Date and Time, and set it to automatic from there.

Try Other Solutions

Here are some other solutions that might help you fix the 104 Error Code issue:

Restart the game.
Delete the anti-cheat software.
Verify the integrity of game files.

Contact The Support Team

If you’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work, it’s time to get in touch with the game’s support team. This issue is likely related to server connection problems, and they’re the ones who can fix it.
