Marvel Rivals frequently gets stuck at 99% loading? This guide offers solutions for PC players. Console users may need to reinstall or switch servers.
Troubleshooting Marvel Rivals' 99% Loading Screen Freeze
Several methods can resolve this frustrating issue:
SSD Installation
Install Marvel Rivals on a Solid State Drive (SSD). While playable on a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), an SSD drastically reduces load times and improves overall performance, potentially eliminating the 99% loading hang.
Firewall Deactivation
Disabling your firewall (e.g., Windows Defender) might resolve the problem. Temporarily disable it to test if this is the cause. Remember to re-enable it afterward.
Game File Verification
Before a full reinstall, try verifying the game files' integrity. In Steam, right-click Marvel Rivals, select "Properties," and then "Verify integrity of game files." This repairs corrupted game files, potentially fixing the loading issue.
Graphics Driver Update
Ensure your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. While not always the direct cause, updated drivers optimize game performance.
Reinstallation (Last Resort)
If all else fails, reinstalling the game is the final solution.
