A Marvel Rivals glitch severely disadvantages players with less powerful PCs. Low FPS (frames per second) causes several heroes to move slower and inflict less damage, effectively creating a pay-to-win scenario where better hardware, not in-game purchases, determines success.
This is a critical bug, not an intended game mechanic. However, a swift fix is unlikely. The problem stems from the Delta Time parameter, a crucial element in game design that ensures consistent gameplay regardless of frame rate. Resolving this complex issue will require significant developer time.
Currently, the following heroes are known to be affected: Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Venom, Magik, and Star-Lord. These characters exhibit reduced movement speed, jump height, and damage output. Other heroes may also be impacted. Until a patch arrives, optimizing your FPS by lowering graphical settings is recommended.
