Steam Milestone Reached Despite Launch Issues

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2's early access launch earlier this week wasn't entirely smooth, with players reporting various technical problems. These included server connectivity issues, frame rate drops, stuttering, black screens, and prolonged loading times. A significant problem was the "Joining Server Bug" in PvE Operations, leaving players trapped on the connection screen.

Focus Home Entertainment responded to player feedback with a community announcement, expressing gratitude for reports and assuring players that solutions are underway. The statement confirmed the team is actively working on fixes. Other reported problems, such as crashes during initial cutscenes and controller malfunctions, were also noted.

Importantly, Focus Home clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is unnecessary for gameplay. The team emphasized that account linking is entirely optional and won't affect the gaming experience.

For players experiencing server connection difficulties, re-attempting matchmaking after being returned to the main menu or Battle Barge is suggested as a temporary workaround. This might resolve the issue for some until a permanent fix is deployed. For additional troubleshooting steps, please refer to our comprehensive guide (link below).
