PC players have been reporting frequent crashes, severe stuttering, and overall poor performance while playing Marvel Rivals. Technical issues like these can be tricky to resolve since every PC setup is unique, with different hardware and software combinations. If you’ve already tried the basics, like updating your graphics card drivers and verifying the game files, don’t worry, there’s still more you can do:

  1. If you’re on AMD, disable FidelityFX Super Resolution.
  2. Choose full screen option.
  3. Try lowering graphics settings and restarting the game. Experiment with increasing certain settings to see if it improves performance without causing problems.
  4. Limit the game’s framerate by capping the FPS at 60 in the settings menu.
  5. Use TAAU for upscaling.

Even if you manage to work around the crashes and stutters, you can still experience an endless loading screen before joining a match. These kinds of problems are common for free-to-play games at launch.
