Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 enjoyed a positive launch, but like many new releases, encountered initial technical difficulties. However, the developers have acknowledged and are actively addressing these issues!
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's early access launch had some bumps, 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's "Joining Server Bug," leaving players stuck on connection screens.
Focus Home Entertainment responded to player concerns in a community update, expressing gratitude for the feedback and confirming active work on solutions. They stated, "We appreciate your reports and feedback. We're diligently working on fixes." The update also mentioned other common 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 entirely optional and won't affect your gameplay."
For players encountering server connection issues, the developers suggest retrying matchmaking if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge after a failed connection. While temporary, this workaround might resolve the problem for some until a permanent fix is released. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
