Marvel Rivals launched strong, boasting hundreds of thousands of concurrent Steam players—a stark contrast to Overwatch 2's recent struggles. However, a significant and frustrating bug has cast a shadow over this success.
We previously reported on a performance issue affecting low-end PCs: low frame rates result in slower hero movement and reduced damage output. The developers have acknowledged this "FPS pay-to-win" bug and are actively working on a solution.

Unfortunately, a complete fix won't be immediate. Season 1 will see a temporary patch focusing on improved movement mechanics. Addressing the damage reduction issue will require more time, with no firm timeline for a complete resolution yet.
Therefore, our recommendation remains: prioritize maximum frame rate over graphical fidelity in Marvel Rivals. This will ensure you're not disadvantaged by the bug.
