The Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 community is buzzing after developer Saber Interactive committed to addressing a slew of fan-requested fixes in a recent Steam community post.

Connectivity Issues Top the List of Priorities

To start, Saber will focus on resolving connectivity problems, which have led to server issues, difficulty connecting with friends, and lost saves. The developer has promised to work day and night to increase server capacity and reduce server load, with a major patch slated to address these issues coming soon.

Fixing Bot Teammates to Make Solo Play More Enjoyable

Next up, Saber aims to improve the performance of bot teammates, which some players have found to be too passive during campaign boss fights. The studio explains that bot behavior is by design, but acknowledges it can sometimes be too meek. As a result, they’ll introduce updates specifically during campaign boss fights in the next patch, and are considering enhancing bot usefulness during specific objectives in the future.

Beyond Connectivity and Bots: A Look at Future Updates

In their community post, Saber also touched on other key issues, including plans to adjust Veteran difficulty to help solo players who find the game too challenging due to bot teammates. The studio also confirmed that new classes, melee weapons, and marine face customization are all under consideration, while armor colors are definitely on the way.

FoV Slider: Not a Priority, But the Studio Is Considering It Anyway

Regarding a FoV slider, which has been a popular fan request, Saber says it’s not something the studio is comfortable with due to the complexity of implementing it and the potential to degrade the game’s cinematic visuals. However, acknowledging the request’s popularity, Saber is considering adding it anyway.
