Despite the positive reception and the game's early access for some players who bought special editions, problems like unresponsive controllers, crashes, fps drops, and black screens are cropping up. The controller issue in particular is preventing players from fully immersing themselves in the game and joining their fellow Marines in battle.

How to Fix Space Marine 2 Controller Not Working?

If your controller isn’t working in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, here are some steps you can try to fix the issue:

Check the Connection

For PS5 controllers (DualSense), make sure it’s plugged into your PC with a cable. Sometimes, these controllers need a wired connection to work properly on a PC.

Adjust Steam Settings

Go to Steam's settings and look for the Controller section. If you’re not using an Xbox controller, turn on the option for “Enabled in Games w/o Support.” Restart Steam and then your game to see if this helps.

Try Big Picture Mode

Some players find that launching the game in Steam’s Big Picture mode makes their controller work. Give this a try to see if it solves the problem.

Connect the Controller After Launching the Game

Sometimes, connecting or turning on the controller after the game has already started can fix the issue.

Update the Controller Driver

Ensure your controller’s driver is up to date. For PlayStation controllers, use the PlayStation® Accessories app. For Xbox controllers, use the Xbox Accessories software. If you have a third-party controller, check the manufacturer’s website for updates.

Use a USB Connection

If you’re using a wireless connection, try connecting your controller directly to your PC with a USB cable. Many controllers work better when connected this way.

Space Marine 2 Plot

In Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II, set in the 41st Millennium, you play as Captain Titus of the Ultramarines. After being saved from imprisonment and transformed into a stronger Primaris Marine, Titus returns to his chapter to seek redemption.

The game follows Titus as he fights against two main enemies: the Tyranids, a fierce alien race, and the forces of Chaos, who seek to corrupt everything. The story starts with Titus helping to defend a planet from the Tyranids and discovering a dangerous project that combines Chaos and Necron technology.

Titus learns that this project could potentially destroy those touched by Chaos but is also being manipulated by the Chaos sorcerer Imurah. As he battles through the chaos, Titus manages to destroy the artifact powering the project and helps the Ultramarines push back the forces of Chaos. In the end, he is praised for his bravery and asked to join a new mission, while also being warned of the constant threat of corruption.

Space Marine 2 Gameplay

In Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II, players control Titus, an Ultramarine, and use a mix of melee and ranged combat from a third-person perspective.

  • Combat: Players fight weaker enemies with ranged weapons and use melee attacks for tougher foes. They can parry or dodge attacks, and their health is protected by armor. Armor regenerates through execution attacks, while health is restored by finding medkits. If Titus or allies fall, they can be revived within 30 seconds.

  • Co-op and Multiplayer: The game features a cooperative mode called "Operations" and competitive 6v6 multiplayer modes like Annihilation, Seize Ground, and Capture and Control. Players can choose from six character classes and customize their avatars with various cosmetic items.
