Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 enjoyed a strong launch, despite experiencing common launch-day technical difficulties. The developers have acknowledged and are actively addressing player concerns.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's early access launch earlier this week wasn't entirely smooth. Players reported various issues, including server connectivity problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading screens. A significant issue involved the PvE Operations mode, where the "Joining Server Bug" left players trapped on the connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment responded to these reports, expressing gratitude for player feedback and assuring players that fixes are underway. Their statement acknowledged the reported crashes during initial cinematic sequences and controller malfunctions.
Furthermore, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is optional and doesn't impact gameplay. The team emphasized that this linking feature is entirely non-essential.
For players encountering server connection problems, the developers suggest retrying matchmaking if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge. This temporary solution might resolve the issue for some until a permanent fix is deployed. For further troubleshooting, a dedicated guide is available (link omitted for brevity).
