Marvel Rivals is an online multiplayer game. So, if you are getting unusually high ping, packet loss or any other sort of network issues, your gaming experience is bound to get ruined. While this can be the case of a server issue, but if you are having this problem every time you are starting a game of Marvel Rivals, resort to these solutions to fix the issue.
Fix 1 – Check the Down detector
The network issue can be traced back to the Marvel Rivals server. You can use the Down Detector to track the server downtime reports.
Step 1 – Load up the Marvel Rivals page on Down Detector on your browser.
Step 2 – See the statement there. If it shows up ‘User reports indicate problems at Marvel Rivals’, there is some problem with the server. So, it is not fault.
You should just wait for some time. But, if you are still having this problem while there are no reports of server outages, go to the next solution.
Fix 2 – Choose the closest server
You can choose the closest server from the Marvel Rivals settings to address this server issues.
Step 1 – Launch the Marvel Rivals game, if you have closed it already.
Step 2 – Once you arrive on the Home page of the game, tap the “Play” button.
Step 3 – Don’t start any game yet. You will see the server location on the right-top corner.
Step 4 – Tap that once.
On the following page, you will see the list of game servers with their respective ping details.
Step 5 – Marvel Rivals select the optimal game server by default. But, you should select the server that is closest to you. Select the server and tap “Confirm“.
After selecting the nearest server, start a casual game. Don’t start any ranked match yet. Check the ping condition and test whether you are still having any network issues there or not.
If you don’t have any of those issues, you may enjoy Ranked matches as well.
Fix 3 – Run the in-game network diagnostics
There is an in-game diagnostics tool present in Marvel Rivals. You may use that to run a direct network check to find the possible problem and get a brief idea about the minimal ping.
Step 1 – At first, load up Marvel Rivals on your computer.
Step 2 – Launch the game from the Marvel Rivals launcher.
Step 3 – Don’t leave the home page. Tap the “Settings” to load up the Marvel Rivals settings page.
Step 4 – Go straight to the “Other” section.
Step 5 – Find the ‘Network Diagnostic’ tab. Tap the “Run Diagnostics” option there to find and troubleshoot any possible network issue.
Let it run the diagnostics. This diagnostics tool can show you the current ping and let you help troubleshoot any possible network related problem.
Fix 4 – Contact the ISP
If you are still having network problems with Marvel Rivals, it can be tagged as ‘packet loss’. The more packet loss you have, other network issues like high ping, ping spike follows in. You can’t control the packet loss at your end. You can opt for a different ISP if your problem still persists.
Fix 5 – Use a VPN
Some of the players have claimed to have used VPN to fix this ailment. We recommend you start with some of the free VPNs to play the game. If you get better results, consider getting a premium one to enjoy the game even more.
