How to Fix Marvel Rivals Stuck at 99% Loading

Marvel Rivals: Troubleshooting the 99% Loading Screen Freeze

Marvel Rivals, while generally smooth across platforms, occasionally suffers from a frustrating 99% loading screen freeze. This guide offers solutions, primarily for PC players. Console users experiencing persistent issues may need to reinstall the game or try different servers.

Solutions:

• SSD Installation: Playing Marvel Rivals from a Solid State Drive (SSD) significantly reduces load times and improves overall performance. Migrating the game to an SSD is a highly recommended fix.

• Firewall Deactivation: Disabling your firewall (e.g., Windows Defender) has reportedly resolved this issue for some players. Remember to re-enable it after troubleshooting.

• Game File Verification: Before a complete 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 data.

• 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.
