Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 enjoyed a positive launch, but like many new releases, encountered initial technical difficulties. However, the developers have acknowledged and are actively addressing these problems!
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 Early Access: Server Issues and More
Still a Steam Milestone Achiever!
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2's early access launch had some bumps, with players reporting various technical issues. These included server problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A common complaint centered around a "Joining Server Bug" in PvE Operations, leaving players trapped on the connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment responded to player concerns in a community update, expressing gratitude for feedback and confirming ongoing work on fixes. They stated, "We appreciate your reports and feedback. We're actively developing solutions." The update also highlighted other reported problems, such as crashes during initial cutscenes and controller malfunctions.
Furthermore, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is unnecessary for gameplay. The team emphasized, "Linking your Steam and Epic accounts isn't required to play. These features are optional and won't impact your experience."
For players encountering server connection problems, the developers suggest retrying matchmaking if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge after a failed attempt. This temporary workaround might resolve the issue for some until a permanent patch is released. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
