Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Early Access Encounters Server Problems
Still Achieves a Steam Milestone!
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's early access launch faced some challenges, with players reporting various technical issues. These included 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 stuck on the connection screen.
Focus Home Entertainment responded to these reports, expressing gratitude for player feedback and confirming active development of fixes. Their statement acknowledged the reported problems, including crashes during initial cutscenes and controller malfunctions.
Furthermore, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is not mandatory for gameplay. The team emphasized that account linking is entirely optional and will not impact the gaming experience.
Players encountering server connection issues are advised to retry matchmaking if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge. This temporary solution might resolve the problem for some until a permanent patch is released. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
