Arc System Works Addresses PC Performance Issues in Marvel Tokon Beta

The pre-launch open beta for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls concluded this past weekend, but many PC players experienced significant technical hurdles during the test. Developer Arc System Works has acknowledged the widespread performance issues and issued an apology to the community.

Developer: Arc System Works

Technical Difficulties on PC

Shortly after the beta went live, reports of gameplay and performance instability began surfacing on the PC version of the game. Arc System Works confirmed their awareness of the situation on Saturday, July 25, stating, "Our team is actively investigating these issues and working on a fix."

While the studio works on official updates, they provided a series of community-suggested troubleshooting steps on social media to help players improve their experience. These measures, while not officially confirmed as definitive fixes, include:

Running the shader warm-up process at launch.
Verifying game files to resolve specific Steam anti-cheat errors.
Adjusting display settings and Nvidia control panel configurations.
Disabling third-party game recording or capture software that may conflict with the client.

Arc System Works emphasized that these steps may yield different results based on individual PC configurations and do not necessarily identify the root cause of the performance bugs.

Moving Toward Launch

The beta phase was previously complicated by issues involving the PlayStation Network, which impacted access at the start of the event. Following the conclusion of the beta, the developers released a survey to collect player feedback, which the team intends to use to mitigate remaining issues before the game's full launch on August 6, 2026.

As the release date nears, players are also monitoring the game's regional availability. Current data from Steam’s backend indicates the game is restricted from purchase in 117 countries, a limitation likely tied to the requirement for a PlayStation Network account.
