Breaking Bug Plagues Marvel Rivals, Compromising FPS

A Marvel Rivals glitch disproportionately impacts players with lower-end PCs, creating an unintended "pay-to-win" scenario. Lower FPS (frames per second) results in reduced movement speed and damage output for several heroes.

This isn't a deliberate game mechanic, but a significant bug stemming from the Delta Time parameter—a crucial element in game programming that ensures consistent gameplay regardless of frame rate. Fixing this will likely require considerable developer time due to the parameter's fundamental role.

Currently affected heroes include Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Venom, Magik, and Star-Lord, experiencing slower movement, reduced jump height, and diminished damage. Other characters may also be affected. Until a fix is implemented, players should prioritize improving their FPS, potentially by lowering graphical settings.
