While the server list might look like a ghost town or fail to load entirely, the good news is that the underlying infrastructure isn't totally dark. If you have a dedicated crew ready to go, friend invites are still functioning perfectly. You can bypass the public matchmaking issues by inviting your steam or platform friends directly to your lobby.
For those who prefer the lone wolf approach or simply want to test out their gear before the servers stabilize, solo mode remains fully operational. This is a great time to get some practice in with the 100% destructible environments and learn the nuances of the new roguelite loop without the pressure of a full team. The developers have even suggested checking out the amenities on the RV-09 Ramrod—like the fitness center—while the backend team scales up the capacity.
Ghost Ship Games is actively working on a hotfix to expand the server list capacity. In a co-op focused shooter where teamwork is the core pillar, getting the matchmaking back online is the top priority. We expect stability to improve as the initial launch spike is managed. For now, stick to direct invites or solo runs to ensure your mining operations aren't interrupted by the connectivity meta.
