It’s not perfect, and the patch has introduced a few new issues, but Fatshark is quick to respond and has been active on forums. If you’re running into the Error Code 5002 while trying to play Darktide, here is what it means.
Warhammer 40K Darktide Error Code 5002
Error Code 5002 in Warhammer 40K Darktide indicates that there is currently ongoing server maintenance or that the servers are potentially down. It’s not a traditional error, and you can only wait for the developers to complete maintenance.

When the maintenance is over, the 5002 error will go away, and players can log in to their accounts without a hitch. Most Darktide server maintenance doesn’t take more than a few hours, so it shouldn’t be long before you’re able to rejoin your fellow Rejects.
