What could be the worst thing about playing an online game while you are all caught up in the thrill and determined to win? Obviously, it is disconnecting from the game. All it needs is for you to be DC’ed once to lose the game and possibly be penalized for it! This is exactly the problem that some players are facing in Marvel Rivals. So, is there any fix for it yet? Let’s find out.
Many players have reported experiencing disconnects at the start of matches in Marvel Rivals, causing them to either lose their spot in the game or receive warnings despite reconnecting and completing the match. This issue often begins with the “MATCH FOUND” screen followed by a frozen loading screen that displays “SPACE TO SKIP” but remains unresponsive, ultimately resulting in a reconnect window.
Marvel Rivals Disconnecting randomly from in-game matches issue: Is there any fix yet
The recent update addresses network stability in Marvel Rivals, particularly targeting the map loading issue that has caused players to be kicked offline due to connectivity problems. While part of the issue has been resolved, the developers acknowledge there are multiple potential causes and are actively working to analyze and address them in future updates. So, until that’s fixed, here are some potential fixes worth trying out.
Basic Checks
The first step to address any issues is to restart your PC to clear temporary glitches and refresh the system. After rebooting, run the game as an administrator by right-clicking on its .exe file, and selecting the Run as Admin option. Additionally, close any background applications that may use the internet, such as browsers or streaming apps, to free up bandwidth and prevent conflicts with the game’s connectivity.
Internet
Next up, it is time to check your internet. So, start by checking your internet connection to make sure it’s fast and stable. Restart your router to refresh the connection, and if possible, switch to a wired LAN connection for better stability. If the problem persists, try using a completely different network to rule out issues with your current setup. If necessary, contact your ISP and see if they can help you in resolving any underlying connectivity problems.
VPN
Using a VPN is another potential fix that has helped some players with similar network issues in Marvel Rivals. So, if you’re not currently using one, try enabling a VPN and testing the game with different server locations. On the other hand, if you’re already using a VPN, disable it and then attempt to launch the game.
Change Server
In the Team Lobby menu, select the Region button that’s located at the top right of the screen. Here, select a different server that has a similar ping to the default server in use. Once selected, start a match to check whether the issue persists. Do note that changing servers can result in high ping.
DNS
You can also try switching to alternative DNS servers like Google DNS or OpenDNS. If you are not sure how to do this, just follow the steps given below:
- Go to your network settings on Windows
- Select “Properties” for your connection
- Under “DNS server assignment,” choose “Manual.”
- Replace the default DNS addresses with Google DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) or OpenDNS (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220).
- Save the changes
- Then restart both your router and PC to apply the new settings.
Do try both the DNS to see which one works best for you!
Updates
Finally, if the issue persists despite trying all other fixes, your last hope is to keep checking for updates. Regularly verify if there are updates for the game, your system, or GPU drivers. Developers have been working on this issue, so there should be future patches to address it and improve stability. Make sure everything is up to date!
