Marvel Rivals Stuck at 99% Loading: Fixes

Experiencing the Marvel Rivals 99% loading screen? These fixes primarily target PC players. Console users might need to reinstall the game or try switching servers if the problem persists.

Install the Game on an SSD

For optimal performance, install Marvel Rivals on a Solid State Drive (SSD). While playable from a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), an SSD drastically reduces loading times and improves overall smoothness, potentially resolving the 99% loading issue.

Disable Your Firewall

Some players have reported success by temporarily disabling their firewall (e.g., Windows Defender) to resolve the loading problem. Remember to re-enable it afterward.

Fix Game Files

Before resorting to a complete reinstall, try verifying the game's files. On Steam, right-click the game, select "Properties," and then "Verify Integrity of Game Files." This process repairs corrupted game files, often resolving loading issues.

Update Graphics Drivers

Ensure your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. While not always the direct cause, outdated drivers can impact performance and contribute to loading problems. Updating them ensures optimal game performance.

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.
