Marvel Rivals game-breaking bug punishes players with low FPS

by Charlotte Feb 26,2025

A shocking discovery on Reddit reveals a game-breaking bug in Marvel Rivals that disproportionately affects players with less powerful computers. Low FPS (frames per second) directly impacts several heroes, causing them to move slower and inflict reduced damage. This effectively transforms Marvel Rivals, already a demanding game on PC hardware, into a pay-to-win scenario where the "payment" is upgrading your PC components.

This is undeniably a critical bug, not an intended game mechanic. However, a swift fix isn't likely. The underlying problem stems from the Delta Time parameter – a crucial element ensuring consistent game performance regardless of frame rate. Addressing this deeply ingrained aspect of game design will require significant developer time and effort.

The confirmed list of heroes currently suffering from this debilitating bug includes:

Doctor Strange
Wolverine
Venom
Magik
Star-Lord

These characters experience reduced movement speed, shorter jump distances, and weaker attacks. The possibility remains that other heroes are similarly affected. Until a patch is released, players are advised to prioritize improving their FPS, even if it means compromising graphical settings.
