Marvel Unveils Game-Breaking Bug Impacting Frame Rates

A Marvel Rivals glitch disproportionately affects players with less powerful PCs, creating an unintended "pay-to-win" scenario. Lower frame rates (FPS) cause several heroes – including Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Venom, Magik, and Star-Lord – to move slower, jump shorter distances, and inflict less damage.

This isn't a deliberate game mechanic, but a significant bug stemming from the Delta Time parameter, crucial for maintaining consistent gameplay regardless of FPS. Fixing this will likely require considerable developer time due to Delta Time's fundamental role in game design.

While other heroes might also be affected, the immediate recommendation is to optimize your in-game settings to improve FPS, potentially by lowering graphical settings. Until a patch is released, players with lower-end PCs may experience a considerable disadvantage.
