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 faced several technical hurdles. Players reported issues including server connectivity problems, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A significant issue involved the PvE Operations mode, where the "Joining Server Bug" left players trapped on connection screens.

Focus Home Entertainment responded to player feedback, expressing gratitude for reports and assuring players that solutions are underway. Their statement acknowledged the issues, including crashes during initial cinematic sequences and controller malfunctions.

Focus Home also clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is not mandatory for gameplay. The developer emphasized that account linking is entirely optional and won't affect the gaming experience.

For players encountering server connection problems, the team suggests retrying matchmaking if returned to the main menu or Battle Barge after a failed attempt. This temporary workaround might resolve the issue for some until a permanent fix is deployed. For additional troubleshooting steps, consult our comprehensive guide (link below).
