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 switch servers.
Solutions to the 99% Loading Freeze:
-
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 alleviate the problem. Remember to re-enable it afterward.
-
Game File Verification: Before a complete reinstall, try verifying the game files' integrity. In Steam, right-click the game, select "Properties," then "Local Files," and finally "Verify Integrity of Game Files." This process repairs corrupted game files.
-
Graphics Driver Update: Ensure your GPU drivers are updated to the latest version. While not always a direct cause, updated drivers optimize game performance.
-
Reinstallation (Last Resort): If all else fails, reinstalling the game is the final solution.
