Marvel Rivals Struggles with Infinite Loading Issue

Marvel Rivals: Troubleshooting the 99% Loading Screen Freeze

Marvel Rivals, a free-to-play PvP hero shooter, generally performs well across platforms. However, some players experience a frustrating 99% loading screen freeze. This guide offers solutions primarily for PC users; console players may need to reinstall the game or try different servers.

Solutions to the 99% Loading Issue:

• SSD Installation: Consider installing Marvel Rivals on a Solid State Drive (SSD). While playable on a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), an SSD significantly reduces loading times and improves overall performance, potentially resolving the 99% loading problem.

• Firewall Deactivation: Disabling your firewall (e.g., Windows Defender) might resolve the issue for some players. Remember to re-enable it after testing.

• Game File Verification: Before a complete reinstall, try verifying the game files' integrity. In Steam, right-click the game, select "Properties," then "Local Files," and finally "Verify Integrity of Game Files." This repairs corrupted game files, often resolving loading issues.

• Graphics Driver Update: Ensure your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. While not always directly impacting game functionality, updated drivers optimize performance.

• Reinstallation (Last Resort): If all else fails, reinstalling the game is a final solution.
