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 difficulties. These included server connectivity problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A significant issue reported was the "Joining Server Bug" within the PvE Operations mode, leaving players trapped on the connection screen.

Focus Home Entertainment responded to these reports, expressing gratitude for player feedback and confirming active development of solutions. Their statement acknowledged the reported issues, including 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 affect 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 fix is deployed. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
