Marvel Rivals frequently gets stuck at 99% loading? This guide offers solutions to resolve this frustrating issue, primarily focusing on PC players. Console users experiencing persistent problems may need to reinstall the game or switch servers.
Troubleshooting Marvel Rivals' 99% Loading Screen Freeze
Here are several steps to try:
1. SSD Installation
Install Marvel Rivals on a Solid State Drive (SSD). While playable from a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), an SSD drastically reduces loading times and improves overall performance, potentially resolving the 99% loading hang.
2. Firewall Deactivation
Temporarily disabling your firewall (e.g., Windows Defender) might help. Some users have reported success with this method. Remember to re-enable your firewall after troubleshooting.
3. Game File Verification
Before a complete reinstall, verify the game files' integrity. In Steam, right-click Marvel Rivals, select "Properties," then "Local Files," and finally "Verify integrity of game files." This process repairs corrupted game files, often resolving loading issues.
4. Graphics Driver Update
Ensure your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. While not always the direct cause, updated drivers optimize game performance.
5. Reinstallation (Last Resort)
If all else fails, reinstalling Marvel Rivals is the final troubleshooting step.
