Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Early Access: Server Issues and More
Steam Milestone Achieved Despite Challenges
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's early access launch wasn't entirely smooth, with players reporting various technical issues. These included server connectivity problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and extended loading times. A significant concern was the "Joining Server Bug" in PvE Operations, leaving players trapped on connection screens.
Focus Home Entertainment responded to player feedback, expressing gratitude for reports and confirming that solutions are underway. Their statement acknowledged the issues and detailed common problems like 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 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 patch is released. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
