While Space Marine 2 is not technically a live-service game, it sure suffers from the same fate the said genre does upon launch. Space Marine 2 is a great game—especially when you play it online with your close ones. But, as seen with every other major release, the game is plagued with several issues.
From controllers not working in Space Marine 2 to Ultrawide resolution support and much more, players encounter several issues while playing the game. The Space Marine 2 black screen and crashing issues were among the most infuriating ones.
Ah—yes—the infinite loading server issue, too!
Developers Saber Interactive are already working on fixes and proactively taking feedback from the community to ensure they can address the significant issues and, ultimately, every problem the game faces.
For Space Marine 2 black screen and crashing issues, there is some troubleshooting that you can do to fix them.
How to fix the black screen and crashing issue in Space Marine 2
To fix the black screen and crashing issue in Space Marine 2, you must deactivate any overlay software you have running while ensuring you have an updated Windows OS (Windows 10 – version must be above 1507), have updated your GPU drivers, and are using the correct GPU to play the game (mostly an issue while playing the game on laptops.)

Here are some of the official fixes and workarounds Saber Interactive has suggested for the players to get rid of the black screen and crashing issue in Space Marine 2:
Deactivating Overlay Software
If you have overlay software like Riva Tuner, Nvidia overlay, Afterburner, or any other running, you must disable them to avoid potential crashes. You must wait until you get the green light from the developers to use this software while playing Space Marine 2.
Updating Windows
While most Windows users have already switched to Windows 11 and install the latest update as soon as it becomes available, many players still prefer the good old Windows 10.
Purchase Space Marine 2 to support me!
But, to play Space Marine 2, your Windows 10 version must be above 1507. If you are running an old update, download the new one or at least the version above 1507.
Updating GPU
As I have mentioned in many of my troubleshooting guides, updating your GPU drivers helps resolve many technical issues while also improving FPS in games, as most new updates are tailored towards the latest releases.
Even Space Marine 2 developers recommend that players update the latest GPU driver to fix crashes and other errors.
Selecting the right GPU
If you are using multiple GPUs or trying to play the game on a laptop, select the proper GPU to play Space Marine 2.
Restarting the game
As simple as it sounds, restarting Space Marine 2 helps fix infinite loading and crashing on starting Operations.
Updating BIOS (Not recommended for Noobs)
While updating the BIOS helps fix many hardware and software-related issues and expand your system’s compatibility reach, it can also completely break your PC.
There are a few players who have fixed the Space Marine 2 black screen and crash issue by updating their BIOS (this has not been verified; they only mentioned that it fixed the issue). However, I personally would not recommend it to anyone who is not aware of the process.
