Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 Early Access Faces Server IssuesStill Achieved a Milestone on Steam, Though!
Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 had a somewhat bumpy launch, with several reported technical issues. The game launched in early access earlier in the week, and players have reported various problems, including server issues, FPS drops, stuttering, black screens, and infinite loading times. A common complaint is the "Joining Server Bug" in the PvE Operations mode, where players get stuck on a server connection screen with little to no progress.
In response to these issues, Focus Home Entertainment addressed the situation in a community post, thanking players for their feedback and confirming that fixes are underway. "First off, we wanted to thank you for reporting your issues and providing us with feedback. We’re actively working on finding fixes," they stated. The post also highlighted other common issues, such as crashes during the opening Cinematic scenes and controller-related problems.
Additionally, Focus Home mentioned that linking Steam and Epic accounts is not required to play the game. In the post, the team clarified, "please be aware linking your Steam and Epic accounts is not required to enjoy the game. These features are entirely optional and will not affect your gameplay experience in any way."
Players experiencing server issues are advised to attempt matchmaking again if they are returned to the main menu or the Battle Barge after an unsuccessful connection attempt. While frustrating, this workaround may resolve the issue for some players until a permanent fix is implemented.
