Space Marine 2 Server Issues Don't Deter It From Hitting Milestone on Steam

Steam Milestone Achieved Despite Challenges

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2's early access debut wasn't entirely smooth, with players reporting several technical problems. 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 trapped on a connection screen.

Focus Home Entertainment acknowledged these difficulties in a community update, expressing gratitude for player feedback and assuring players that solutions are underway. The statement confirmed that the team is actively working on resolving reported problems, including crashes during initial cinematic sequences and controller malfunctions.

Furthermore, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is not mandatory for gameplay. The company emphasized that account linking is entirely optional and won't impact the gaming experience.

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