Marvel Rivals Stuck at 99% Loading: Fixes

Experiencing the Marvel Rivals 99% loading screen? These fixes are primarily for PC players. Console users might need to reinstall the game or try a different server if the problem persists.

Install the Game on an SSD

For optimal performance and faster loading times, install Marvel Rivals on a Solid State Drive (SSD). While playable on a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), an SSD significantly improves loading speeds and overall smoothness.

Disable Your Firewall

Some players have successfully resolved this issue by temporarily disabling their firewall (e.g., Windows Defender). Try disabling your firewall and see if the problem resolves.

Verify Game Files

Before resorting to a full reinstall, try verifying the game's integrity. In Steam, right-click Marvel Rivals, select "Properties," then "Local Files," and click "Verify integrity of game files." This process checks for and repairs corrupted game files.

Update Graphics Drivers

Ensure your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. While not always the direct cause, outdated drivers can impact performance and potentially contribute to loading issues. Download and install the latest drivers from your GPU manufacturer's website.

If all else fails, reinstalling the game is a last resort. For more Marvel Rivals tips and tricks, including guides on achievements and competitive rank resets, check out The Escapist.
