Content Warning is a co-op horror game with a comedic twist. Players work together to film scary content for a fictional platform called SpookTube. Venture into creepy abandoned locations and encounter strange things to go viral. The game was free for a limited time on April 1st, 2024 and is now available for purchase on Steam. With Content Warning receiving a lot of attention, players have discovered a game-breaking bug that prevents joining games. Read on if you want to know more.

How to Fix Can’t Join Friends or Random Players Bug in Content Warning

Some players are encountering an issue where they’re unable to join friends’ game or online co-op sessions in Content Warning. The game keeps kicking them out or they are stuck on the loading screen. Some of these problems could be due to server overload, but it is impossible to be certain for now. The developers are aware of this and are working on a fix.

In the meantime, you can try to reinstall Content Warning or choose a different server region to connect to. Someone also suggested that deleting all save files helped fix the endless loading screen. While there is no magic solution for server issues on your end, waiting for the developer’s patch is the best course of action.

Let’s remember that the game launched just a few days ago and is currently capturing a lot of interest, and as a result players frequently report various technical issues. For example, some people can’t pick up items, while others report pink screen and it is not the end of the list. Developers are working on solutions, but it may take awhile.

Been with gamepressure.com since 2019, mostly writing game guides but you can also find me geeking out about LEGO (huge collection, btw). Love RPGs and classic RTSs, also adore quirky indie games. Even with a ton of games, sometimes I just gotta fire up Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, KOTOR, or Baldur's Gate 2 (Shadows of Amn, the OG, not that Throne of Bhaal stuff). When I'm not gaming, I'm probably painting miniatures or admiring my collection of retro consoles.
