Despite a bumpy start with launch-day technical difficulties, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 has achieved a significant milestone on Steam!
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 Early Access Encounters Server Problems
Steam Milestone Reached Despite Challenges
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2's early access launch earlier this week wasn't entirely smooth. Players reported various issues, including server connectivity problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A common complaint centers on a "Joining Server Bug" within the PvE Operations mode, leaving players trapped on a connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment acknowledged these problems in a community update, expressing gratitude for player feedback and assuring players that solutions are underway. The statement confirmed that fixes are actively being developed. They also highlighted other reported issues, such as crashes during initial cinematic sequences and controller malfunctions.
Furthermore, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is not mandatory for gameplay. The team emphasized that account linking is entirely optional and won't impact the gaming experience.
For players experiencing server connection failures resulting in a return to the main menu or Battle Barge, Focus Home suggests retrying matchmaking. 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).
