Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 enjoyed a positive launch, but like many new releases, experienced initial technical difficulties. However, the developers have acknowledged and are actively addressing these issues!
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Early Access Encounters Server Problems
Still Achieves a Steam Milestone!
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's early access launch had some hiccups, with players reporting various technical problems. These included server connectivity issues, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A common complaint centered on a "Joining Server Bug" in PvE Operations, leaving players stuck on the connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment responded to player feedback, expressing gratitude for reports and confirming active development of fixes. Their statement acknowledged the problems, including crashes during initial cutscenes and controller malfunctions.
Focus Home also clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is unnecessary for gameplay. The team emphasized that account linking is optional and won't impact the gaming 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 fix is deployed. For additional troubleshooting, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
