Marvel Rivals's initial launch was a resounding success, boasting hundreds of thousands of concurrent Steam players, even as Overwatch 2 experienced a downturn. However, a significant and frustrating bug has marred the experience.
We previously reported on a performance issue affecting low-end PCs: reduced frame rates lead to slower hero movement and decreased damage output. The developers have acknowledged the bug and are actively working on a solution.

Unfortunately, a complete fix is proving challenging. Season 1 will likely see a temporary patch focusing on improved movement mechanics. Resolving the damage reduction issue will require more time, with no firm timeline currently available.
Therefore, our recommendation remains: prioritize maximum frame rate over graphical fidelity in Marvel Rivals. This will prevent you from being at a disadvantage.
