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

Steam Milestone Achieved Despite Challenges

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's early access release earlier this week wasn't entirely smooth, with players reporting various issues. These included server connectivity problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading screens. A significant complaint centers on a "Joining Server Bug" in PvE Operations, leaving players trapped on the connection screen.

Focus Home Entertainment responded to these reports, expressing gratitude for player feedback and confirming that solutions are underway. Their statement acknowledged the issues and assured players that fixes are being actively developed. The statement also highlighted other common 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 team emphasized that account linking is optional and won't affect the gaming experience.

For players experiencing server connection issues, the team suggests retrying matchmaking if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge after a failed connection. This temporary workaround might resolve the problem for some until a permanent fix is deployed. For additional troubleshooting steps, please refer to our comprehensive guide (link below).
