Marvel Rivals: Pay-to-Win Bug Draws Attention, Fix Approaching

Marvel Rivals launched strongly, boasting hundreds of thousands of concurrent Steam players, while simultaneously impacting Overwatch 2's player base. However, a significant and frustrating bug has emerged.

We previously reported on a performance issue affecting low-end PCs: reduced hero movement speed and damage output at low frame rates. The developers have acknowledged the bug and are actively working on a solution.

Resolving this complex issue requires considerable effort. Therefore, Season 1 of Marvel Rivals will see a temporary fix primarily addressing movement mechanics. A complete resolution to the damage reduction problem will take longer, with no firm timeline currently available.

Consequently, our recommendation remains: prioritize maximum frame rate over graphical fidelity in Marvel Rivals. This will mitigate the performance-based disadvantage.
