Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 enjoyed a positive launch, but like many new releases, experienced initial technical difficulties. However, the developers are actively addressing these concerns!
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 various technical issues reported. Players encountered problems including server connectivity problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading screens. A common complaint involved the PvE Operations mode's "Joining Server Bug," leaving players stuck on the connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment acknowledged these issues in a community update, thanking players for their feedback and assuring them that solutions are underway. The statement confirmed, "We appreciate your reports and feedback. We're diligently working on fixes." The update also highlighted other frequently 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 stated, "Linking your Steam and Epic accounts is entirely optional and won't affect your gameplay."
For players experiencing server connection issues, the developers suggest retrying matchmaking if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge after a failed connection. While inconvenient, this temporary workaround may resolve the problem for some until a permanent fix is released. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
