Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Early Access: Server Problems and More

Still a Steam Milestone Achiever!

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's early access launch experienced some hiccups, with players reporting various problems. These included server connectivity problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading screens. A significant issue involved the PvE Operations mode, where the "Joining Server Bug" left players stuck on the connection screen.

Focus Home Entertainment responded to player concerns in a community update, expressing gratitude for the feedback and confirming that solutions are underway. They stated, "We appreciate your reports and feedback. We are actively working on fixes." The update also addressed other reported problems, such as crashes during initial cutscenes and controller malfunctions.

Furthermore, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is not mandatory for gameplay. The team emphasized, "Linking your Steam and Epic accounts is optional and won't affect your gameplay."

For players encountering server connection issues, the developers suggest attempting matchmaking again if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge after a failed connection. This temporary workaround might resolve the problem for some until a permanent fix is implemented. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
