Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Early Access: Server Issues and More
Still a Steam Milestone Achiever!
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's early access launch faced some initial hurdles, with players reporting various technical difficulties. These included server connectivity problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A significant issue reported was the "Joining Server Bug" in PvE Operations, leaving players stuck on the connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment responded to these concerns in a community update, expressing gratitude for player feedback and confirming active development of fixes. They stated, "We appreciate your reports and feedback. We're diligently working on solutions." The update also highlighted other reported issues, 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 is optional and won't impact your gameplay."
For players experiencing server connection problems, the developers suggest retrying matchmaking if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge after a failed connection. This temporary workaround might resolve the issue for some until a permanent patch is released. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our helpful guide (link below)!
