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 may need to reinstall the game or switch servers.

Solutions to the 99% Loading Issue:

• SSD Installation: Playing Marvel Rivals from a Solid State Drive (SSD) is highly recommended. While playable on a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), an SSD drastically reduces loading times and improves overall performance, potentially resolving the 99% freeze.

• Firewall Deactivation: Disabling your firewall (e.g., Windows Defender) might resolve the issue for some players. Remember to re-enable it after testing.

• Game File Verification: Before a complete reinstall, try verifying the game files' integrity. In Steam, right-click the game, select "Properties," and then "Verify Integrity of Game Files." This 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 launch, updated drivers optimize performance.

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