How To Fix Crashing At Startup In Space Marine 2

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 Co-op issues.

Here are some methods you can use to resolve this issue:

Confirm Your PC Specs

If your game is crashing or freezing at startup or even after you have played through the intro, you might want to recheck your system requirements for Space Marine 2. If your PC doesn’t meet the specs, that might be why you’re dealing with crashes and glitches. Before you move on to the next steps, make sure that your PC can actually handle the game. If you don’t know what the recommended Space Marine 2 requirements are, you can check out this guide.

Verify Integrity Of Game Files

Another reason for crashes might be that your downloaded game files are corrupted or missing. If that’s the case, you can verify your game files. If players are using Steam, they can launch the game, and then go to Library > Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 > Properties > Installed Files > Verify Integrity of Game Files.

On Epic Games, you can head to your Library > Space Marine 2 > Manage > Verify. This will likely fix the Space Marine 2 Crashing on Startup error.

Change Your Graphic Settings

Lowering the game’s graphics can help stop the game from crashing during the first cutscene. Just go to the settings, find the ‘Video’ option, and set the frame rate to 60 or 30 FPS. If the graphics are too high, it might be too much for your system and cause crashes.

Try Other Assorted Solutions

These are some other quick solutions that players can try to resolve game crashes and improve performance:

Update drivers
Run as Administrator
Disable antivirus
Disable EAC
Reinstall the game
Power Cycle your PC
Restart the game
