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 earlier this week wasn't entirely smooth, with players reporting various technical problems. These included server connectivity issues, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading screens. A significant issue affecting PvE Operations mode involved players getting stuck on the server connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment responded to these reports with a community update, expressing gratitude for player feedback and confirming active work on resolving these problems. The statement acknowledged common issues, such as crashes during initial cutscenes and controller compatibility problems.
Furthermore, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic Games accounts is not mandatory for gameplay. The team emphasized that account linking is optional and won't affect the gaming experience.
Players encountering server connection problems are encouraged to retry matchmaking if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge after a failed connection. This temporary workaround may resolve the issue for some until a permanent fix is deployed. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
