Joining any server puts me in spectator mode

YOUCEF HAMDANI shared this bug ago

Won't Fix

Hello,

I have this problem, when I join any server I got spectating camera and I cant do anything, I tried pressing every button (even Alt+F4), and I verified the game files, nothing is working.

Kienata tried to help me, but we didn't fix it.

when I join I get nothing no Hud.

Hello, Youcef!

Sorry to hear you've been experiencing this issue.

You say that this happens in every server. Is this across a friend's dedicated server and official or only limited to one of these? I have been taking a look at older reports and unfortunately, most are stuck in one specific server rather than multiple. I would suggest the following and see if once you have completed these, you are able to join.

Verify your game files in Steam

Right click on Space Engineers in Steam Library → Properties → Local Files → Verify Integrity of Game Files

/bfSnH0rGoN-NgctSWBJN3LfvWZvgnfye9BrPgucxV0n8TDpNc-7yZYwSifdRXyl1quu20KGUNmHzSf6VGRbhWS4a_EYn2MclxJSOz6eVarmz-fhTWVaofVOAVZN_l_leF9dgQ5GF

Delete SpaceEngineers.cfg file

It means your game configuration will be deleted
You can access your SpaceEngineers.cfg by typing %appdata% into your Windows search bar and you will be redirected to the hidden Roaming folder. After that just follow: \Roaming\SpaceEngineers.

Delete ShaderCache folder

Same access as SpaceEngineers.cfg

Back up your whole Space Engineers Roaming folder and delete it
Restart Steam
Reinstall VC Redist 2017
Update graphic drivers
Reinstall the game
Make sure your operating system is fully updated

Please let me know how you get on :)

Kind Regards

Hey, I have this exact same problem and is very easily reproducable with every single official and unofficial steam online server. I can easily join the epic online servers but I can't play with my steam friends on their servers. also unable to join individual public games or have anyone join me. This is all after multiple times deleting and reinstalling the game and playing completely vanilla and both with experimental mode turned on and off. Also tried deleting appdata files as described above and that changed nothing. At this point it has been happening for multiple years, multiple major updates, and 700 hours of playing singleplayer this has not been fixed. any ideas as to what I could do other than maybe move houses, get a new ISP and build another computer? lol
