Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Early Access Encounters Server Problems
Steam Milestone Achieved Despite Challenges
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's early access release earlier this week saw various reported technical problems. Players encountered server connectivity issues, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading screens. A significant issue involved the PvE Operations mode's "Joining Server Bug," leaving players trapped on the connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment responded to player feedback, confirming active development of fixes. Their statement acknowledged player reports and expressed gratitude for the provided information. Additional issues noted included crashes during initial cinematic sequences and controller malfunctions.
Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is unnecessary for gameplay. The team emphasized that account linking is entirely optional and won't impact the gaming experience.
For players experiencing server disconnections returning them to the main menu or Battle Barge, retrying matchmaking is suggested as a temporary workaround. A more comprehensive troubleshooting guide is available via the link below for additional solutions.
