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 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 bumps, with various technical problems reported. Players encountered server issues, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and infinite loading screens. A significant issue was the "Joining Server Bug" in PvE Operations, leaving players stuck on the connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment responded to player feedback, expressing gratitude and confirming ongoing efforts to resolve these problems. Their statement acknowledged the reported issues and assured players that fixes are underway. They also highlighted other common problems, such as crashes during initial cutscenes and controller malfunctions.
Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is not mandatory for gameplay. The team emphasized that account linking is optional and won't affect the gaming experience.
For players experiencing server connection problems, retrying matchmaking after being returned to the main menu or Battle Barge is suggested as a temporary workaround. This might resolve the issue for some until a permanent solution is implemented. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
