Marvel Rivals Known Issues, Workarounds and Fixes

Winter Soldier action response under high latency: October 9 optimization

The October 9 notes say the response of Winter Soldier’s Trooper’s Fist and Bionic Hook was optimized under high-latency conditions. This records an improvement to those abilities, rather than a guarantee that every connection will have no delay or that all heroes share the same issue. [1]

A linked character’s items or rank appear different on another platform

Cross-progression uses a selected primary character. The FAQ states that data from other characters is not merged, and PC, PlayStation and Xbox ranks remain separate under Career. Platform-exclusive costumes also stay on their designated platforms. Check the primary character and platform rules before interpreting a missing secondary collection or a different rank as deleted data. [2]

Documented steps

1. Review the linked characters in Settings > Other > Account Binding and select the intended primary character, subject to the displayed cooldown. [2]

PC gameplay crashes: use the publisher’s low-risk checks

The official Technical Issues FAQ recommends the game integrity-and-repair check as the first response to frequent crashes. It also identifies Switch Shader Compilation Mode in the launcher as a way to reduce the likelihood of repeated crashes. Those are documented troubleshooting options, not a promise that a shader setting repairs every crash. [3]

Documented steps

1. Use the official game integrity check and repair workflow, then test whether the crash still occurs. [3]
2. For repeated crashes, try enabling Switch Shader Compilation Mode in the launcher as described by the FAQ. [3]

PC stuttering despite meeting the requirements

For frequent stuttering on hardware meeting the requirements, the publisher recommends the operating system’s high-performance graphics setting for Marvel Rivals. This directs the operating system’s application preference; it is not a claim that the setting can make unsupported hardware meet the requirements. [3]

Documented steps

1. Open Windows Settings > System > Display > Graphics, browse to Marvel.exe and choose the high-performance application option. [3]
