In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only widescreen. No ultrawide for the moment, sadly. As and when they add support for ultrawide monitors, perhaps they should call it “ultramarinewide”. Ha ha! Ha. Anyway, here’s what’s coming in the first round ofWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2patches.
There are also reports of crashing, for which publishers Focus haveoutlined some possible workarounds. If you’re experiencing crashes in general, consider deactivating any overlay software you’re using such as Riva Tuner, Afterburner or NVIDIA’s equivalent. If you’re finding that the game crashes during the first cinematic, the publishers recommend updating to the latest version of Windows, verifying that the game is running on the correct GPU, and updating your GPU driver. And if you’re running into an infinite loading bug when playing in multiplayer Operations, try restarting the game - it could be a networking issue, or it could be to do with getting kicked from your squad.
Personally, I think infinite loading bugs are appropriate to a game with infinitely loading bugs (Tyranid swarms). Ha ha! Ha. Anyway, here’s what to do if your controller is refusing to work with the game: switch off Steam Input (Right click on game > Properties > Controller > Disable Steam Input) and try plugging in your controller via USB.
If none of these bodges jump-start your Adeptus Astartes, you’ll have to wait for some game updates, unfortunately. “We aim to fix all these issues in our first patches,” Focus promise.
The installation of Epic’s client is, in fact, mentioned in the EULA, and “was implemented to support optional cross-play between Steam and Epic players and to synchronize friend lists between the two stores”, as Focus explain. “However, please be aware linking your Steam and Epic accounts is not required to enjoy the game. These features are entirely optional and will not affect your gameplay experience in any way.”
Ugh, I need a final ghastly Warhammer pun to finish off this post. Something to do with Steam Tanks, maybe? The game tanking on Steam? Please go read Brendy’sWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 reviewwhile I consult the scriptorium and try to figure out the Warhammer 40K equivalent for a “review bomb”.
