The much-awaited sequel in the Warhammer 40K series comes Space Marine 2. You can now pick up new challenges, complete new objectives, and form teams with your friends to face the Tyranids. You continue to play as Captain Titus as you navigate the new world of Kadaku and beyond. Your sole objective is to rid the planets of Tyranids and restore normalcy to the otherwise barren settlements. But players should note that there will be regular ongoing maintenance and downtime as Saber Interactive works hard to tweak all the fine details of the game. Hence, you might find that logging into Space Marine 2 isn’t possible.
If you encounter an issue where you cannot check whether Space Marine 2 is down for maintenance, this guide will cover the maintenance schedule, outrage bugs, and the downtime required until the servers are up again.

“We know some of you are experiencing server issues, loss of saves or impossibility to connect with friends. We are ramping up our server capacity to reduce the load on them, and are working day and night to reduce the issues. This is a top priority for the team. A bigger patch is planned soon to improve this topic further, alongside new content.”
Tips for Players
Since Space Marine 2 is still in the early access stages, the servers are currently under testing to optimize and fix it before the official launch. So it is quite common to find players unable to load into the game, get kicked, or face crashing issues. Below are some general tips you can try if you face any issues with the game
- Check Internet Connection: Check your connectivity before launching the game so you get a seamless experience.
- Restart whenever required: Sometimes if the game or mission crashes, then you need to reboot or restart your system several times before it is up and running again
- Check server status: If you are unable to load the game, check the servers and also your connectivity
- Wait it out: Usually, most problems will be resolved if you wait for the game to load
- Play offline: If you are facing problems with matchmaking and online play, you have an option to go offline
- Check system requirements: The game will only run if your system meets the minimum and maximum requirements
- Reduce graphics settings: Keeping the graphics settings on low will help in not overloading your system
- Change GPU settings when required: If you think your GPU is struggling, you can tweak your GPU settings to enhance your gameplay
- Make sure the cooling vents are not blocked: Whether you play on console or system, you should have the cooling fans running efficiently so your system doesn’t overheat
- Adjust FPS and resolution: While you may have to compromise on graphics, you can reduce lag and stuttering this way
- Report issues: If you don’t find a solution to your problem, then it is best to contact the customer support team and make them aware of the issue
