Marvel Rivals: Troubleshooting the 99% Loading Screen Freeze
Marvel Rivals, a 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 may need to reinstall the game or switch 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 issue.
Firewall Deactivation: Temporarily disabling your firewall (e.g., Windows Defender) might resolve the problem. Remember to re-enable it afterward.
Game File Verification: Before a complete reinstall, verify the game files' integrity through your game client (e.g., Steam). This process repairs corrupted game files, often fixing loading problems. Right-click the game, select Properties, and then choose the option to verify files.
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.
