Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Backend Error - What is Backend Error 1342?

Warhammer: Vermintide 2 is great, of course, but that does not mean it's not tackling a few problems of its own practically since release day. Error 1342 is a particularly heinous problem, as it has a tendency to cause progress loss practically rendering your playtime void!

Vermintide 2 Error 1342 is, according to the developers, Fatshark, a server-side issue, and seemingly stems from the server's inability to resolve a connection with the client. Since all player data is stored server-side, this makes it so that in-mission progress gets reset and effectively nullified in some cases.

What is Backend Error 1342 in Vermintide 2?

"We are currently investigating this issue. It isn't common but it does occur and we definitely understand your frustration in losing your end game reward," said the developers, speaking on the issue of 1342. The error is, as it seems, quite difficult to track down, and they can't seem to properly resolve the issue.

Just last year, the increased number of Error 1342 reports were signed off as related to a substantial influx of players, who servers had a hard time keeping up with. Now, what this means is that the issue can not be fixed on your end, and seeing as how it keeps popping up from time to time, developers may not have a way to fix it either.

The only way for you to minimise the odds of Backend error 1342 popping up is to maintain a stable Internet connection, and hope Fatshark's servers manage to do the same.
