The publisher of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 explained why the game needs the Epic Games service on Steam and gave tips for solving common problems

The launch of expanded access to the hotly anticipated action film Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 from Saber Interactive did not go well, and the project’s publisher, Focus Entertainment, decided to clarify a number of issues related to the release.

Let us remind you that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 launched on Steam with “mixed” reviews. One of the main complaints from users was the need to install the Epic Online Services (EOS) multiplayer client.

According to Focus, Space Marine 2 needs EOS solely to provide cross-platform multiplayer between Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as syncing the friend lists of both stores.

Focus also emphasized that the function of linking Steam and EGS accounts in EOS is strictly optional, “not required to enjoy the game” and does not affect gameplay in any way.

The publisher also apologized for the inconvenience and gave advice on solving the most common problems of the game at the moment:

  • The game crashes – disable third-party overlay (Riva Tuner, Nvidia, Afterbuner, and so on);
  • The game crashes on the first video – update Windows (version must be newer than 1507) or the video card driver, make sure the game selects the correct GPU;
  • The controller does not work – disable the Steam input system, try connecting the gamepad via USB;
  • Endless loading / crash when starting the Operations mode – restart the game;
  • Connection problems on PS5 – there is no temporary solution, but the developers are already looking into the situation.

In the time since the release in extended access, the user review rating for Space Marine 2 on Steam has increased from “mixed” to “mostly positive” (75% positive reviews).

The official release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will take place on September 9 on PC (Steam, EGS), PS5, Xbox Series X and S. The game’s development plan includes adding support for ultra-wide monitors (this will happen before the end of the month).
