Check Server Status
Sometimes, the problem isn’t on your end but with the game’s servers. Server maintenance, outages, or high traffic can lead to Error Code: 140. Checking the game’s server status will let you know if the issue is beyond your control. Visit the official server status page for Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 or follow the developers on X for updates on server issues.
