Restarted the game for the xx time, still can't freaking connect to anyone, even disabled cross-platform just in case and can't use the multiplayer component of the game , wtf Saber & Focus.

It may be due to your NAT type, if you have a strict or moderate NAT it can cause issues with multiplayer connections that use peer to peer systems. It can be either your NAT or the persons you are trying to connect to. If it is yours, using a VPN while playing will circumvent your NAT.

Things is, its not peer to peer, they use servers.

They can still have servers and use a peer to peer connection. For example, for gta online Rockstar hosts matchmaking servers that establish a connection between players. Instead of the server handling all the game packets, they are transfered directly from player to player - so it's basically P2P, with server-handled matchmaking.
From what I can tell, Space marine is doing the samething.

Ok, thanks for the additional info.

Disable your steam overlay, it makes the game hang whilst joining co-op matches.

I would think most people play multiplayer games regularly on Steam, I would really doubt it's NAT related when there are tons of people having the issue, before it's even fully released.

Typical response you see anytime a new game comes out and there are issues;

"Check your settings, there's no way it could be an issue with the game".

I'm not saying that is what you are saying Jacksynn, just that I see this in every game release with issues. God there are several videos that have a 20 point checklist of "do all this ♥♥♥♥ on your computer to MAYBE fix the issue".

Honestly my recommend is trying disabling crossplay, and if that doesn't do it, just wait for them to fix it. Hopefully they get it fixed before the 9th and avoid getting review bombed all to hell.

That doesn't make any sense since we don't have an overworld with instanced content. It's all one thing.

From what I can see the only thing the server handles is pairing you with the other players. After that all communication for the game functions appear to be sent from player to player with one player acting as host.
I was using the gta online server structure as an example of how this works. They use an authentication and matchmaking server with save file hosting while the entirety of game lobbies are peer to peer connections.
