Troubleshooting PC Issues (Steam)
If you are experiencing issues with controller recognition, missing downloadable content (DLC), or game launches on Steam, please follow the steps below.
Issue 1: Controller is Not Detected
If Space Marine 2 is not responding to your gamepad, Steam’s input overrides or overlay settings may be conflicting with the game's native controller support. Try these three solutions:
A. Disable Steam Input
Right-click on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 under LIBRARY > Properties.
Click on Controller.
Select Disable Steam Input from Override for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2.
Close CONTROLLER window.
B. Disable the Steam Overlay
Go to Steam > View > Settings > In-Game > uncheck "Enable the Steam overlay while in-game"
Press OK
C. Clear the Steam Download Cache
Clearing your download cache can solve problems with games that won't download or start.
Here is a guide on Clear Download Cache
Issue 1: DLC is Not Showing In-Game
Right-click on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 under LIBRARY > Properties > DLC.
Tick the box under INSTALL and close the DLC window.
Click Steam (upper left) > Settings > Downloads.
Click on the Clear Cache button from Clean Download Cache and click Confirm.
Steam will restart automatically.
NOTE: This process will not affect your currently installed games, but you will need to log into Steam afterward.
Additional workaround: Verify Integrity of Game Files though Steam
If the game refuses to start or crashes consistently, a corrupt or missing file during a patch download is likely the cause.
Right-click on Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 under LIBRARY > Properties.
Click on Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.
