Marvel Rivals: Troubleshooting the 99% Loading Screen Freeze
Marvel Rivals, the free-to-play PvP hero shooter, generally performs well across platforms. However, some players encounter a frustrating 99% loading screen freeze. This guide offers solutions, primarily for PC users. Console players experiencing persistent issues may need to reinstall the game or try different servers.
Solutions to the 99% Loading Issue:
-
SSD Installation: Consider installing Marvel Rivals on a Solid State Drive (SSD). While playable on a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), an SSD significantly reduces loading times and improves overall performance, potentially resolving the 99% loading problem.
-
Firewall Deactivation: Disabling your firewall (e.g., Windows Defender) might 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 "Local Files," and finally "Verify Integrity of Game Files." This repairs corrupted game files, often fixing loading problems.
-
Graphics Driver Update: Ensure your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. While not always the direct cause, updated drivers optimize game performance.
-
Reinstallation (Last Resort): If all else fails, reinstalling the game is a final solution.
