Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's Early Access Launch Faces Server Challenges

A Milestone Achieved Despite Technical Difficulties

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's early access release experienced some turbulence. Players reported various issues, including server connectivity problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and extended loading times. A common complaint centered on a "Joining Server" bug within the PvE Operations mode, leaving players trapped on the connection screen.

Focus Home Entertainment acknowledged these challenges in a community update, expressing gratitude for player feedback and assuring players that fixes are underway. The statement highlighted additional reported issues, such as crashes during initial cutscenes and controller malfunctions.

Importantly, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts isn't mandatory for gameplay. This linking feature is entirely optional and won't impact the gaming experience.

For players encountering server connection issues, re-attempting matchmaking after being returned to the main menu or Battle Barge is suggested as a temporary workaround.
