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 Launch Challenges
Steam Milestone Reached Despite Technical Hurdles
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2's early access launch earlier this week encountered several technical problems. Players reported various issues, including server connectivity problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A common complaint centers around a "Joining Server Bug" in the PvE Operations mode, leaving players stuck on the connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment acknowledged these issues in a community update, thanking players for their feedback and assuring them that solutions are underway. The statement confirmed active work on resolving reported problems. The developer also highlighted other frequently reported issues, such as crashes during initial cutscenes and controller malfunctions.
Furthermore, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is unnecessary for gameplay. The company emphasized that account linking is entirely optional and won't impact the gaming experience.
For players experiencing server connection issues, the developer 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 further troubleshooting assistance, a dedicated guide is available (link not provided here, as it was not included in the original text).
