Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has been doing well for itself, with a successful launch and critical acclaim. However, the developer, Saber Interactive, is not stopping yet. The studio has now pledged a whole bunch of fan-requested fixes, starting with connectivity issues as a “top priority”.
Saber Interactive has acknowledged the connectivity issues that have resulted in server problems, the inability to connect with friends, and lost saves. The developer is working day and night to increase server capacity and reduce server load, with a bigger patch to address these issues due soon.
The studio has also addressed the issue of bot teammates, after players complained their general ineffectiveness makes solo games significantly harder. Saber claims bot behavior is by design, but the studio does at least acknowledge bots can sometimes be “a bit too passive”. Improvements will be introduced during campaign boss fights in the next patch, and the studio is considering ramping up their usefulness during specific objectives in the future.
Saber has confirmed that new classes and new melee weapons are under consideration. Marine face customization and new armor colors are definitely on the way. However, the introduction of an FoV slider is still uncertain, as the studio is not comfortable with it due to its potential to degrade the visual aspect of the game.
