Marvel Rivals: All Current Recurring Bugs And Their Temporary Fixes

Marvel Rivals had all the potential to be a superhero showdown for the ages, but right now, the game's biggest battle seems to be against bugs, glitches, and performance issues. Let's break down the problems players are facing and explore some quick fixes (or at least coping mechanisms) to make the experience a little less painful.

1. FPS Freefall

One of the most glaring problems is the wildly inconsistent frame rates. Players have reported FPS dropping from 120 to 20 during team fights or action-heavy sequences. Even those rocking top-tier rigs with GPUs like the RTX 3070 Ti are scratching their heads as the game stutters despite running on low settings.

Temporary Fix

• Lower Graphics Settings: Reducing resolution to 1080p and turning down visual effects like shadows and anti-aliasing can help stabilize FPS.
• Cap Your Frame Rate: Setting a frame rate cap (like 60 FPS) often prevents dramatic fluctuations.

 

 

2. Choppy Graphics

Graphical choppiness is another hot topic. Imagine your favorite superhero pulling off an epic move… only to freeze mid-action while enemies awkwardly skate around them. These micro-stutters are killing the immersion faster than Thanos can snap his fingers.

Temporary Fix

• Close Background Apps: Resource-hogging apps like Chrome and Discord can sap your system's power. Shut them down before diving into a match.
• Monitor Temps: Tools like MSI Afterburner check if your GPU or CPU is overheating.

3. Laggy Gameplay

For an online game, a smooth network connection is everything. Unfortunately, many players are dealing with high ping, packet loss, and lag spikes that make dodging enemy attacks feel impossible.

Temporary Fix

• Switch to Wired: If you're on Wi-Fi, consider plugging in with an Ethernet cable to reduce latency.
• Router Reset: Sometimes, a simple reboot can work wonders.

4. Long Loading Screens: Are We There Yet?

Players have reported excruciatingly long loading times, especially when joining matches. It's frustrating when you're hyped for action but end up staring at a loading screen for what feels like an eternity.

Temporary Fix

• Upgrading to an SSD: You might still be running on an HDD, and getting an SSD can save you that much time on those loading screens.
• Verify Game Files: Sometimes, Steam will allow checking for corrupted files that may have caused the delay.

 

 

5. Sound Glitches

Audio Cutting Off Mid-Game

Audio cutting off mid-game is another frequent problem. The audio might be sound effects, voiceovers, or even music. The game has at one time decided to leave you in silence.

Temporary Fix

• Restart the Game
• In most cases, this just restores the sound.
• Update Audio Drivers
• Ensure your drivers for sound are up to date so you avoid compatibility issues.

6. Input Lag

Input lag is the bane of any competitive player's existence. Many Marvel Rivals players are complaining about delayed responses, especially during combos or quick movements.

Temporary Fix

• Lower Graphics Settings: High settings can overload your system, causing delays in input processing.
• Disable V-Sync: Turning off V-Sync in the game settings often reduces input lag significantly.

7. Random Crashes

It's bad enough to lose a match, but when your game crashes mid-fight, that's a whole new level of frustration. Many are experiencing random crashes with no apparent error messages.

Temporary Fix

• Update Everything: From your game to your GPU drivers, keeping everything updated reduces crash risks.
• Run as Admin: Launching the game as an administrator can sometimes bypass permission-related crashes.

What is Capcom Doing About It?

The good news? The developers seem to be on top of all these, with promises of patches and optimizations coming soon. As it stands now, however, players are left to put up with a game that feels more like a beta test than a polished experience.

Final Thoughts

Marvel Rivals has huge potential. The game concept, the roster of superheroes, and the visual all scream blockbuster hit. Still, until these performance issues are worked out, it might be more frustrating than entertaining to play. If you have the urge to play, it can be helped with temporary fixes. Otherwise, wait a few updates before diving in.
