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 release earlier this week saw players reporting various technical problems. These included server connectivity issues, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A significant issue affecting the PvE Operations mode involved players becoming stuck on the server connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment responded to player feedback, confirming that they are actively working on solutions. Their community post expressed gratitude for player reports and outlined their progress in addressing the problems, including crashes during initial cinematic sequences and controller malfunctions.
Importantly, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is not mandatory for gameplay. This functionality is entirely 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 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).
