A Reddit user uncovered a game-breaking bug in Marvel Rivals that unfairly disadvantages players with less powerful PCs. Low FPS (frames per second) causes several heroes to move slower and inflict reduced damage! Given Marvel Rivals' demanding system requirements, this effectively transforms the game into a pay-to-win scenario, where the "payment" is upgrading your PC hardware.
This is clearly a significant bug, not an intended game mechanic. However, a swift fix isn't likely. The root problem stems from the Delta Time parameter – a crucial element enabling consistent gameplay regardless of frame rate. Addressing this complex issue will require considerable developer time and effort.
The following heroes are confirmed to be affected by this debilitating bug:
- Doctor Strange
- Wolverine
- Venom
- Magik
- Star-Lord
These characters exhibit slower movement, reduced jump height, and weaker attacks. Other heroes may also be impacted. Until a patch arrives, players are advised to prioritize improving their FPS, even if it means compromising graphical settings.
