Marvel Rivals: 99% Loading Issue Resolved

Marvel Rivals: Troubleshooting the 99% Loading Screen Freeze

Marvel Rivals, a free-to-play PvP hero shooter, generally performs well across platforms. However, some players experience a frustrating 99% loading screen freeze. This guide offers solutions primarily for PC users; console players may need to reinstall the game or switch servers.

Solutions to the 99% Loading Issue:

• SSD Installation: Playing Marvel Rivals from a Solid State Drive (SSD) is highly recommended. While playable from a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), an SSD drastically reduces load times and improves overall performance, potentially resolving the 99% loading problem.

• Firewall Deactivation: Disabling your firewall (e.g., Windows Defender) may resolve the issue for some players. Remember to re-enable it afterward.

• Game File Verification: Before a complete reinstall, try verifying the game files' integrity. In Steam, right-click the game, select "Properties," then "Verify integrity of game files." This process repairs corrupted game files, potentially fixing the loading freeze.

• Graphics Driver Update: Ensure your graphics card drivers are updated to the latest version. While not always directly impacting game functionality, updated drivers optimize performance.

• Reinstallation (Last Resort): If all else fails, reinstalling the game is a final option.
