Marvel Rivals: Connectivity Issues, FPS Drops, Pre-Match Disconnects and More Issues Rising

The players of Marvel Rivals are suffering major gameplay problems after the latest winter patch. Reports of FPS drops, crashing issues, and connectivity have been made for both PC and console platforms which have increased even more frustrations, especially since some players are being penalized for things outside their control again.

Key Problems Highlighted

• FPS Drops & Stuttering: Many players report severe frame rate issues during gameplay, often leading to a compromised experience.

• Game Crashes: Instances of crashes mid-game or while loading into matches are frequent. Affected players face penalties as the game identifies them as disconnected.

• Pre-Match Disconnects: Some players cannot load into matches altogether, resulting in unjustified penalties and lost rankings.

Marvel Rivals’ community manager, James, has acknowledged the issues via Discord, encouraging players to complete a survey to aid the development team in identifying the root causes.

Shifts in the Meta

Despite technical issues, the meta in Marvel Rivals remains a hot topic. Luna Snow is the most-played character due to her powerful healing abilities, while Magic boasts the highest win rate in ranked matches at 58.5%. Surprises include Adam Warlock and Penny Parker, whose niche but effective kits are gaining traction in higher tiers. However, Storm struggles with a low pick rate (0.5%) due to an underperforming skill set.

Community Initiatives and Insights

Dedicated platforms like Rivals Codex are tracking in-depth statistics for heroes, including pick rates, win rates, and KDAs. Players are encouraged to explore such resources to adapt their strategies and explore new techniques, such as Wolverine's newly discovered aerial dive attack for trapping enemies.

What’s Next?

However, as the winter patch misfortunes continue, players are encouraged to share their experiences on the official Discord for whatever they can. Community feedback is key in eliminating them, assisting in restoring the smooth flow of gameplay. Meanwhile, the developers will continue to do their best to provide timely fixes.

Stay tuned for updates regarding Marvel Rivals in the meantime. Test plan, adapt, and enjoy the in-game winter celebrations.
