Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Early Access: Server Issues and More

Still Reaches a Steam Milestone!

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's early access release faced several reported technical difficulties. Players encountered issues including server connectivity problems, 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 acknowledged these problems in a community update, expressing gratitude for player feedback and assuring players that solutions are underway. The statement confirmed that the team is actively working on resolving these issues. They also highlighted other reported problems 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 developer emphasized that account linking is entirely optional and won't impact the gaming experience.

For players experiencing server connection problems, the team suggests retrying matchmaking if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge after a failed connection. This temporary solution might work until a permanent fix is deployed. For additional troubleshooting, a helpful guide is available (link omitted for this example).
