Despite a challenging launch marred by technical difficulties, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 has achieved a significant milestone on Steam!
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2's Early Access Launch Faces Server Problems
Steam Milestone Reached Despite Technical Hurdles
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2's early access launch earlier this week encountered several technical snags. Players reported various issues, including server connectivity problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A common complaint centered around the PvE Operations mode's "Joining Server Bug," trapping players in an endless connection loop.
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 developers are actively working on resolving the reported issues. The update also highlighted other frequently reported problems, 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 company emphasized that account linking is entirely optional and won't affect the gaming experience.
For players encountering server connection issues, the developers suggest retrying matchmaking if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge after a failed connection attempt. This temporary workaround might resolve the problem for some until a permanent fix is deployed. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
