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: Server Troubles and Triumph
Steam Milestone Reached Despite Technical Hiccups
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2's early access launch earlier this week wasn't entirely smooth sailing. Players reported various problems, including server connectivity issues, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A particularly common issue involved the PvE Operations mode, where the "Joining Server Bug" left players trapped on the connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment acknowledged these challenges in a community update, expressing gratitude for player feedback and assuring players that fixes are underway. The statement confirmed that developers are actively working on solutions. Other reported problems, such as crashes during initial cutscenes and controller malfunctions, were also noted.
Importantly, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is not mandatory for gameplay. The team emphasized that this feature is optional and won't impact the gaming experience.
For those 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 might resolve the issue for some until a permanent fix is released. For additional troubleshooting tips, please refer to our comprehensive guide (link below).
