Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 has kicked off on a promising note, despite encountering the typical launch-day technical hiccups that many recent titles face. But fear not, as the dedicated team behind this eagerly awaited sequel is actively tackling these issues head-on!

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

Still Hit a Milestone on Steam, Though!

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 experienced a somewhat turbulent launch day, marked by numerous technical problems. The game, which entered early access earlier in the week, saw players reporting issues like server connectivity problems, FPS drops, stuttering, black screens, and endless loading times. A particularly common grievance has been the "Joining Server Bug" in the PvE Operations mode, where players find themselves perpetually stuck on a server connection screen without any progress.

In response, Focus Home Entertainment has stepped up, acknowledging the situation through a community post. They expressed gratitude for the players' feedback and assured that fixes are in the works. "First off, we wanted to thank you for reporting your issues and providing us with feedback. We’re currently working to find fixes," they stated. The post also shed light on other frequent problems, such as crashes during the initial cinematic scenes and issues related to controllers.

Moreover, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is not a requirement to enjoy the game. "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," the team stated in their post.

For those grappling with server issues, the advice is to try matchmaking again if you're returned to the main menu or the Battle Barge after a failed connection attempt. Though it may be frustrating, this workaround could provide a temporary solution until a more permanent fix is rolled out.
