Author : Oliver Feb 12,2025

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 problem requires time. Therefore, Season 1 of Marvel Rivals will see a temporary fix focused on improving movement mechanics. Addressing the damage reduction issue will take longer, with no concrete timeframe for a complete resolution currently available.

Our recommendation remains: prioritize maximum frame rate over graphical fidelity in Marvel Rivals to avoid gameplay disadvantages.
