A Marvel Rivals glitch severely disadvantages players with lower-performing computers. The bug causes several heroes to move slower and inflict reduced damage when the frame rate (FPS) is low. This effectively creates a pay-to-win scenario, forcing players to upgrade their PC hardware instead of directly paying the developers.
This is undoubtedly a significant bug, not an intended game mechanic. However, a swift fix isn't guaranteed. The underlying problem stems from the Delta Time parameter, a crucial element in ensuring consistent game performance regardless of frame rate. Resolving this complex issue will require considerable developer time and effort.
The following heroes are currently known to be affected:
- Doctor Strange
- Wolverine
- Venom
- Magik
- Star-Lord
These characters exhibit slower movement, reduced jump height, and weaker attacks. Other heroes may also be impacted. Until the bug is patched, players are advised to prioritize improving their FPS, even if it means compromising graphical settings.
