Space Marine 2 Hits Steam Milestone Despite Server Issues

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 has enjoyed a promising launch, despite encountering some technical hurdles typical of new releases. The team behind this eagerly awaited sequel is actively tackling these issues to ensure a smoother experience for all players.

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 Early Access Plagued with Server Issues

Still Hit a Milestone on Steam, Though!

The launch of Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 in early access was marred by several technical difficulties. Players reported issues ranging from server problems, FPS drops, stuttering, black screens, to infinite loading times. A particularly frustrating problem has been the "Joining Server Bug" in the PvE Operations mode, where players get stuck on a server connection screen without any progress.

In response, Focus Home Entertainment issued a community post acknowledging these issues and expressing gratitude for the player feedback. They are actively working on fixes, stating, "First off, we wanted to thank you for reporting your issues and providing us with feedback. We’re currently working to find fixes." The post also addressed other common problems, including crashes during the initial cinematic scenes and issues related to controller functionality.

Focus Home Entertainment also clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is not mandatory for enjoying the game. They emphasized, "please be aware linking your Steam and Epic accounts is not required to enjoy the game. These features are entirely optional and will not affect your gameplay experience in any way."

For those facing server issues, the recommendation is to retry matchmaking if you're returned to the main menu or the Battle Barge after a failed connection attempt. This temporary workaround might help some players until a permanent solution is rolled out. For additional troubleshooting tips, feel free to visit our detailed guide at the provided link.
