At the beginning of December 2024, the long-awaited Marvel Rivals was released, a dynamic PvP shooter with a superhero twist! In this NetEase production, players can compete in the shoes of the most famous superheroes and super-villains from the Marvel franchise. Since the game's arrival on the market, feedback about it has been more than positive. Despite a few bugs, users seem to be quite satisfied! Gold, a major problem seems to affect PC gamerswho wanted to share their dissatisfaction on social networks.
These Marvel Rivals heroes perform less well because of an FPS problem!
Marvel Rivals players have discovered that several aspects of the game are tied to frame rate, putting those with weaker PCs at a disadvantage, while those with a high FPS rate have a leg up. On PC, there are core mechanics of Marvel Rivals that break down at lower FPS and don't work as intended. In total, five characters would be particularly affected by this problem!
Some heroes don't jump as far as they're supposed to, others fight slower than expected, or can't jump as high as their abilities would normally allow them to. Additionally, abilities like Doctor Strange's portal are likely to destroy your FPS if there's a lot happening on screen. In the video below, a user from the social network Reddit shows the difference between the two refresh rates!
What's wrong with Marvel Rivals?
Development enthusiasts will often hear about Delta Timewhich is the method by which a game calculates and predicts what a player does between frames to avoid inconsistencies for those with a low-end PC or poor internet connection. If all abilities are performed correctly, they appear at a constant speed for all players.
-In Marvel Rivals, activity between these frames is lost because these times are not set correctly and are frame rate dependent. NetEase's game does not properly communicate to the server what is happening to the player. This is because the game's distance and damage calculations are tied to frame rate rather than server. This is a major problem, which will not be easy for developers to solve!
How to counter this problem on PC?
For PC players affected by this issue, we advise you to lower the game settings, reduce the resolution a little with the aim of obtaining as high a refresh rate (FPS) as possible for your PC. Until the issue is fixed by the developers, this should help you gain an advantage or at least not be at a disadvantage against other heroes!
