Marvel Rivals's explosive launch saw hundreds of thousands of concurrent Steam players, overshadowing Overwatch 2's performance. However, a significant and frustrating bug is casting a shadow.
We previously reported on a performance-related issue affecting low-end PCs: reduced hero movement speed and damage output at low frame rates. The developers have acknowledged this "fps pay-to-win" bug and are actively working on a solution.

Unfortunately, a complete fix is proving challenging. Season 1 will likely see a temporary patch improving movement, while a fix for the damage reduction issue will take longer, with no firm timeline yet.
Therefore, our recommendation stands: prioritize maximum frame rate over graphics quality in Marvel Rivals to avoid a competitive disadvantage.
