How to Fix Marvel Rivals Stuck at 99% Loading

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 experiencing persistent issues may need to reinstall the game or try different servers.

Solutions to the 99% Loading Problem:

• SSD Installation: Consider installing Marvel Rivals on a Solid State Drive (SSD). While playable on a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), an SSD dramatically reduces load times and improves overall performance, potentially resolving the 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 full reinstall, try verifying the game's files. In Steam, right-click the game, select "Properties," and then "Verify Integrity of Game Files." This process repairs corrupted game files, often fixing loading problems.

• Graphics Driver Update: Ensure your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. While not always directly impacting game functionality, updated drivers optimize performance.

• Reinstallation (Last Resort): If all else fails, reinstalling the game is a final option.
