It’s annoying, right? You’re all set to dive into Marvel Rivals, and then—bam! Stuck at 99% or even worse, 0%. I’ve been there. It feels like waiting for a bus that never arrives. But don’t worry, I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve to help you out.
Let’s get straight to it. Here are some methods that can help you get back into the game without the headache.

Solution 1: Move the Game to SSD
- First things first—if your game is on a hard drive, it might be time for an upgrade. Moving it to an SSD can speed things up. Here’s how:
- Open Steam.
- Right-click on Marvel Rivals.
- Select Properties.
- Click on Installed Files.
- Choose Move Install Folder and select your SSD.
If you don’t have an SSD, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the game directly onto your C drive.
Solution 2: Switch from Epic Games to Steam
If you’re playing on Epic Games, it might be worth switching to Steam. The Steam version often runs smoother:
- Uninstall Marvel Rivals from Epic Games.
- Download it again from Steam.
This simple switch can sometimes resolve those pesky loading issues.
Solution 3: Disable Overlays
Overlays can cause problems too. They’re like that friend who talks too much during a movie. Here’s how to turn them off:
Steam Overlay:
- Open Steam and go to Settings.
- Find the option for Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game and turn it off.
Discord Overlay:
- Launch Discord, go to User Settings.
- Click on Game Overlay and disable it.
If you use MSI Afterburner or RivaTuner, consider uninstalling them completely as they can interfere with gameplay.
Solution 4: Use a VPN
Sometimes, server issues can lead to loading problems. A VPN can help bypass these issues:
- Download Cloudflare VPN—it’s free!
- Install it by following the on-screen instructions.
- Launch the VPN before starting Marvel Rivals.
This might just do the trick and get you back in action.
Don’t let loading screens ruin your gaming experience! Try these methods, and you’ll be back in the Marvel universe in no time. Remember, gaming should be fun, not frustrating!
