Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2’s First Post-Launch Update Fixes Crashes and Server Issues

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, a much-anticipated game, has received its first post-launch update this week.

The update aims to resolve several key issues that have been affecting players since early access.

Saber Interactive and Focus Entertainment have been working hard to improve the game's performance and fix bugs, making sure players enjoy a smoother gaming experience.

Space Marine 2 was officially released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC after a short period in early access. However, some players faced frequent crashes during the start of the game and even during the first cutscene.

To address these problems, the developers are rolling out a patch that includes multiple crash fixes, which should enhance the stability of the game.

Crashes and Server Issues Addressed

One of the major highlights of this update is the fix for the crashes that have been a major issue since the game’s early access period. Players have reported frequent crashes right at the beginning of the game or during the first cutscene. This has led to frustration among many players eager to dive into the world of Warhammer 40,000.

Additionally, there have been issues with the game's servers. Some players reported that they were unable to join multiplayer matches or lost connection mid-game. Focus Entertainment has confirmed that the upcoming patch will include server improvements and optimizations, aiming to resolve these issues.

Player Experiences

One player shared their experience, saying, "I have about 6 hours in the game, but I've only managed to play the tutorial and a few multiplayer matches. Whether I'm playing solo or with friends, I often get stuck on the 'Joining Server' screen, which has made it difficult to enjoy multiplayer."

Such server connection issues have caused frustration, especially for those who paid for early access, as they have been unable to take full advantage of it. On top of that, some players have reported losing in-game rewards due to sudden disconnections after completing missions. This patch is expected to resolve this problem as well.

Update Details and Roadmap

Focus Entertainment has provided a list of fixes included in this patch:

• Multiple crash fixes (such as the start of the game and the first cutscene)
• Optimized CPU usage for better performance
• Server improvements to reduce disconnection issues
• Bug fixes related to rendering

Apart from the fixes, Space Marine 2 has an exciting post-launch roadmap. The game will receive several free updates, starting with a patch later this month that will introduce private PvE lobbies, ultrawide monitor support, and a new feature called the Battle Barge Sparring Arena.

Looking ahead, the developers have announced that Season 2 is scheduled for Fall 2024. It will bring new PvE missions, a lethal difficulty mode, and additional cosmetics for players.

Seasons 3 and 4, planned for 2025, will include more missions, new arenas, and a Horde Mode, among other features. These updates are set to add more depth and content to the game, keeping the player base engaged for years to come.

What to Expect Next?

With the first patch arriving this week, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 players can look forward to a more stable and smoother gameplay experience.

The developers have shown a commitment to improving the game based on player feedback, and the upcoming content in the roadmap suggests that the future of Space Marine 2 is filled with exciting updates.

Stay tuned as more updates roll out, and be sure to keep an eye on the post-launch roadmap to see what new features and improvements are coming next.
