Marvel Rivals game-breaking bug punishes players with low FPS

by Nicholas Jan 21,2025

A Reddit user unearthed a game-breaking bug in Marvel Rivals that unfairly disadvantages players with less powerful computers. The problem? Low FPS (frames per second) directly impacts several heroes, causing them to move slower and inflict reduced damage! Given Marvel Rivals' demanding PC hardware requirements, this effectively transforms the game into a pay-to-win scenario – but instead of paying the developers, players are forced to invest in better PC components.

This is clearly a significant bug, not an intentional game mechanic. However, a swift fix isn't likely. The underlying issue stems from the Delta Time parameter – a crucial element enabling games to maintain consistent performance regardless of frame rate. Without delving into complex technicalities, resolving Delta Time-related problems is inherently time-consuming.

Several Marvel Rivals heroes are confirmed to be affected:

Doctor Strange
Wolverine
Venom
Magik
Star-Lord

These characters exhibit slower movement, reduced jump height, and diminished damage output. Other heroes might also be impacted. For now, the most practical solution is to optimize your FPS, even if it means compromising graphical fidelity.
