There's any way to check server status?

[SAVE]

Just trying to play for about an hour, and I keep getting the message "Cannot connect to the servers. Please try again later".

I got "authentication error"

For the OP, please refer to this article. For authentication error, please restart Steam, or if that didn't do the trick, run Steam as an administrator.

It didn't work. "Authentication error"

Something IS awry with the server connection.

My partner and I can't connect to the same mission. We party up, see each other in the ship, then try to load into a mission and only the host makes it.

Oh ok, authentication error is a different beast entirely. To solve that, restart Steam, and if that didn't solve anything in itself, run Steam as an administrator.

What characters and mission are you trying to play?

Playing the original campaign with my seasonal assault crusader and their seasonal assassin. Chapter 2 hunt for the martyr. Ambush the feral beasts at the meeting point.

We had done the two previous 2 missions together earlier in the day, when I was on a heavy gunner crusader. First one crashed when he picked up the quest item/info at the end of a mission. I restarted, we partied up again and ran the follow up mission without crashing.

Then I made a seasonal assault crusader and played solo up to the same quest point. We tried to group and continue with the hunt for the martyr. No matter which of us hosted, we'd see each other on the bridge and the person who was not the host would not connect to the mission. We tried it multiple times that evening (and not since).

I see, thank you for the detailed description. We are working on a number of crash-related co-op issues, that may also have relation to your troubles. We will publish these fixes soon, hopefully they'll help alleviate your issues. Sorry about the trouble!
