Early Access Launch Challenges for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2

Steam Milestone Achieved Despite Technical Hurdles

The early access release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 was met with a range of technical problems, including server connectivity issues, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. The "Joining Server Bug" in PvE Operations mode was a particularly prevalent complaint, leaving players stuck on connection screens.

Focus Home Entertainment addressed these concerns in a community statement, expressing gratitude for player feedback and assuring players that fixes are underway. The developer acknowledged various problems, including crashes during initial cinematic sequences and controller malfunctions. They also clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is entirely optional and doesn't impact gameplay.

Players encountering server connection problems are encouraged to retry matchmaking if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge. This temporary workaround may resolve the issue for some until a permanent solution is implemented. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link to be added here).
