With the release of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, the follow-up to one of my favorite games of all time, there seems to be a slight issue with the game if you’re playing it on PC. Or more specifically, while the game states that you need to install the game onto an SSD or a Solid State Drive, I’ve noticed that after helping people resolve the issue of the black screen that eventually causes the game to crash or stay stuck, there’s a fix.
Well, you’re not going to like this, but I’ve found that helping people to resolve this error, is quite simple. Don’t install the game onto an HDD or conventional hard drive. The specifications for the game clearly state that the game needs to be installed on an SSD. However, installing the game via Steam doesn’t stop you from installing the game onto an HDD.
There really should be some logic that prohibits that, but there isn’t. So instead of having the game running smoothly or at all, installing the game onto an HDD causes the game to choke, and then you run into the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 black screen or failure to load...
