Troubleshooting Marvel Rivals Season 1 Launch Issues
The highly anticipated Marvel Rivals, featuring Marvel Universe heroes, has launched Season 1. However, some players are experiencing frustrating issues. This guide offers solutions to get you back into the game.
High player volume at launch often overwhelms servers in free-to-play games. This is a common issue, but here's how to address it:
-
Verify Server Status: Check the official Marvel Rivals X account or a service like Downdetector for updates on server outages or performance issues. This is the quickest way to determine if the problem is on your end or with the game's servers.
-
Ensure Game Update: Before launching, confirm you've downloaded the latest game update. The Season 1 update is crucial for accessing the new content and resolving potential bugs introduced in previous versions.
-
Restart the Game: A simple restart can often resolve minor glitches or connection problems. Close the game completely and relaunch it. This is a quick fix worth trying before more involved troubleshooting.
-
Check Your Internet Connection: Marvel Rivals requires a stable internet connection; it doesn't offer offline play. Restart your modem or router to rule out network connectivity issues. A brief outage may be all that's needed to restore your connection.
-
Take a Break: Launch days often see massive server loads. If the problem persists, consider waiting a few hours or even a day. The initial surge of players will subside, improving server stability and your chances of connecting.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
