Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 Early Access Launch Challenges

Steam Milestone Reached Despite Technical Hiccups

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2's early access launch earlier this week wasn't entirely smooth sailing. Players reported various problems, including server connectivity issues, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A common complaint centers around the PvE Operations mode, where the "Joining Server Bug" leaves players trapped on a connection screen.

Focus Home Entertainment acknowledged these issues 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 fixes for reported problems, including crashes during initial cinematic sequences and controller malfunctions.

Importantly, 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 impact the gaming experience.

For players encountering server connection problems resulting in returns to the main menu or Battle Barge, the suggestion is to retry matchmaking. This temporary workaround might resolve the issue for some until a permanent fix is released. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
