Space Marine 2 Matchmaking, Co-op, Operations, and Connection Issues Surface

Although Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 isn’t officially out until next week, early access began today for eager fans who want to get a headstart on slaying some Xenos. While many have been able to enjoy the campaign playing alone, one of the big draws of the game was being able to play with friends through the entire campaign, as well as other activities. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like everyone is experiencing a smooth release, as reports of connection, co-op, operations, and matchmaking issues have begun to surface in Space Marine 2.

Space Marine 2 Matchmaking, Co-op, Operations, and Connection Issues for September 5, 2024

If you’re one of the many who are suffering from issues in Space Marine 2, whether matchmaking, connecting to the servers, trying out co-op, or even crashing, you aren’t alone.

In fact, Focus Entertianment has even acknlowdge these issues, confirming they’re working on fixes and aims to include them in the first patch. Here’s a list of things they confirmed they’re looking into, with potential fixes to even try.

Space Marine 2 MOST COMMON ISSUES

Game Crash

Potential workaround:

• Please deactivate overlay software (like Riva Tuner, Nvidia overlay, Afterbuner,…)

Game Crash on first cinematic
Potential workaround:

• Please update Windows 10 – version must be above 1507
• Verify that the game is launching on correct GPU
• Update your GPU driver

Your controller doesn’t work with the game
Potential workaround:

• Deactivate Steam Input to avoid the conflict with Controllers
• Right click on game > Properties > Controller > Disable Steam Input
• Steam doesn’t always support wireless controllers. Plug it with USB and then deactivate Steam Input to avoid the conflict with controllers.

Infinite Loading/crash when launching Operations
Potentially caused by network issues or you getting kicked by different squads.

Potential workaround:

• Restart the game

Connectivity issues on PS5

Many players seem to have connectivity issues on PS5 especially, being unable to join other players.

There is no ETA on when we can expect these fixes to arrive, though we assume it’ll be soon, considering many paid for early access. That probably wouldn’t be a good thing to have occurring once the full release arrives next week. So expect a patch soon, hopefully during this weekend.
