Marvel Rivals frequently gets stuck at 99% loading? This guide offers solutions for PC players. Console users may need to reinstall or switch servers.
Troubleshooting Marvel Rivals 99% Loading Screen Freeze
Several methods can resolve this frustrating issue:
SSD Installation
Install Marvel Rivals on a Solid State Drive (SSD). While playable on a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), an SSD significantly improves load times and overall performance, potentially eliminating the 99% loading hang.
Firewall Deactivation
Temporarily disabling your firewall (e.g., Windows Defender) might resolve the problem. Re-enable it after the game launches successfully.
Game File Verification
Before reinstalling, verify the game files' integrity. In Steam, right-click Marvel Rivals, select "Properties," then "Local Files," and finally "Verify integrity of game files." This repairs corrupted game data.
Graphics Driver Update
Ensure your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. While not always the cause, updated drivers optimize game performance.
Reinstallation (Last Resort)
If all else fails, reinstalling the game is the final solution.
