Bug Impairs 'Marvel Rivals,' Crippling Gameplay

A Marvel Rivals glitch disproportionately impacts players with less powerful PCs, creating an unintended "pay-to-win" scenario. Lower FPS (frames per second) directly results in reduced movement speed and damage output for several key characters.

This isn't a deliberate game mechanic, but a significant bug stemming from the Delta Time parameter—a crucial element in maintaining consistent gameplay across different frame rates. Fixing this will likely require considerable developer time and effort given Delta Time's fundamental role in game design.

Currently affected heroes include:

• Doctor Strange
• Wolverine
• Venom
• Magik
• Star-Lord

These characters exhibit slower movement, reduced jump height, and diminished damage when FPS is low. Other heroes may also be affected. Until a fix is implemented, optimizing your FPS, even at the cost of visual fidelity, is the recommended workaround.
