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 experienced some initial hiccups. Players reported various problems, including server connectivity issues, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A significant issue involved the PvE Operations mode, where players frequently got stuck on the server connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment responded to these reports, expressing gratitude for player feedback and confirming active development of solutions. Their statement acknowledged the problems and assured players that fixes are underway. They also highlighted other frequently reported issues 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 that this account linking 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 attempt. This temporary workaround might resolve the issue for some until a permanent fix is deployed. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
