Warhammer 40,000: Space Navy 2 HOTFIX 8.1 solves crash, disconnect and reward issues in response to siege mode complaints
Blog Andrew Joseph 03 Jul , 2025 0

Warhammer 40,000: Space Navy 2 Last week, it received a highly anticipated Siege Mode update, and although fans love it, crashes and disconnects hurt the experience.
Siege mode is what Space Marine 2 thinks in classic video game tribal mode. It saw a team of three players fight against the increasingly difficult waves of overlords and chaotic enemies, earning exclusive rewards.
Players responded to Siege Mode and its accompanying Patch 8 Wells, while Space Marine 2 has a large number of players on at least Steam, where player data is public. But connectivity issues can sometimes ruin the experience, especially when they go deep into the waves.
Just on July 2, the complaint continued. “I felt incredible f***ed.” An angry Justusowesme on the Space Marine Corps said.
“It only took me nearly three hours of siege. Finally got some good brothers who knew what they were doing. I had the most epic experience in a long time. So looking forward to rewards and a sense of accomplishment, finally defeating it. But before evacuating the server, there was no middle fight in the last round just giving up. No money, no money, no spending, no brothers who made me happy, but my brothers were fun. Progress.
“Please any person in charge, I know you are already working, maybe in a hurry…but the emperor is still twisted.”
In response, Space Navy 2 developers Saber Interactive and Publisher Focus Entertainment have released 8.1 Hotfix, a file that is now available on every platform. It solves various crashes and connection issues, as well as a bug that prevents the reward of completing 25 waves in siege mode.
Hopefully this is the siege pattern problem reported by this popular fifty who eliminated poor old Justusowesme and others, just like the Space Marines stomped on Xenos' head, but it's already early.
Looking ahead, Space Marine 2 has a lot of exciting content. While Patch 9 focuses only on balance changes, Patch 10 adds new Chaos and Chaos PVP mode, new Power Axe melee weapons and new Techmarine classes. Check All Space Ocean 2 Patch 10 Details.
