Space Marine 2 adds ultrawide support and private PVE lobbies
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II has taken the gaming world by storm. Focus Interactive announced that two million players have already jumped into the action-packed game since its launch.
The game saw a massive number of simultaneous players on Steam after its release on September 9, indicating a successful launch. This includes early access players who pre-ordered special editions.
Initial Reception and Issues
Despite the warm reception, there were some notable issues. Fans were surprised that the game did not support ultrawide resolutions, a common feature in modern games. Instead, ultrawide resolutions were displayed with black bars.
Another issue was the lack of private PvE lobbies at launch. Players had to rely on matchmaking for endgame operations.
Upcoming Fixes
Thankfully, Focus Interactive confirmed that ultrawide support and private PvE lobbies will be included in the first patch. This patch will also introduce a training area on the Battle Barge, the game's hub spaceship.
Focus Interactive stated, "We read all your comments carefully. It takes time due to the volume of messages, but we see and hear you."
First Patch Features
- Ultrawide support
- Private PvE lobbies
- Training area
Earlier this week, Focus mentioned that the first update would also bring server improvements and crash fixes. Server issues, especially the "server connection bug," have made co-op play difficult for some players, causing loss of progress and rewards.
Focus Interactive is aware of the various bugs players have encountered and is working hard to fix them.
What's Next?
Season 2 will kick off in October and run until the end of 2024. It will feature a new operations map, a new enemy, a harder difficulty level, a new weapon, and various other improvements.
