Server issues plague Space Marine 2, Focus acknowledges technical difficulties
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II
The new third-person shooter, Warhammer 40K: Space Marine II, has started strong on Steam with a peak of 134,302 players in 24 hours. This impressive start places it fifth on Steam's overall ranking.
However, the launch wasn't without issues. Players quickly reported problems joining servers. Many took to social media to express their frustration.
Server Issues
Players have experienced being stuck on "joining server" screens, sometimes after completing missions. This forces them to restart the game and redo missions.
Focus Home Entertainment acknowledged these issues on their official site. They assured players that their teams are working on fixes and encouraged continued feedback.
Other Technical Problems
Besides server issues, players have reported:
- Crashes during the first cutscene
- Controller problems
- Infinite loading screens
- Graphics driver issues
- Lack of ultra-wide support
Focus Home Entertainment clarified that linking Steam and Epic accounts is unnecessary. The Epic Online Services installation supports optional cross-play and friend list synchronization between Steam and Epic.
Positive Reception
Despite the issues, the overall reception of Space Marine 2 has been positive. Critics are excited about reuniting with their comrades and facing new challenges.
The game offers a mix of solo and cooperative missions, providing a fresh experience without feeling repetitive. It promises to shine for those seeking more challenges, especially with friends.
Release Date
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II will be available on September 9th for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
