Fixes and Optimizations
All Platforms
- Scoreboard Limbo Fix: No more getting stuck on the results screen after spectating in a Custom Game - Tournament Room. You're welcome!
PC
- Mouse Optimization: High polling rate mouse experimental optimization setting for the hardware snobs. Activate it to resolve lag issues and make your moves as smooth as my comebacks.
- Slimmer Files: PC install size reduced by 15%. More space for cat memes and other important things!
Heroes
- Thor's Thorforce Fix: Due to network delays, Thor's Thorforce could sometimes vanish faster than Loki at a family reunion. Using it with the Awakening Rune would cause it to fizzle. Awkward, right? Most cases are resolved, but a few are still being looked into.
- Magneto's Ultimate Fix: If Winter Soldier's Tainted Voltage landed at the exact moment Magneto popped his Ultimate, he'd go on a wild ride. Now, he stays grounded (unless he's being dramatic, of course).
- Punisher's Vantage Connection Fix: Bad network conditions could send the Punisher to unexpected places. It's fixed now, so no more internet-exploring the upside-down.
- Piercing Projectiles' Pinball Physics Fix: Some piercing projectiles decided to deal extra damage on rare occasions. It's fixed, so now you can blame your losses on skill, not RNGesus.
- Doctor Strange's Grounded Gateway Fix: Flying heroes can now use Doctor Strange portals cast directly on the ground. The floor is destiny, not lava!
Conclusion
Get ready for more madness, memes, and mayhem in Season 6 of Marvel Rivals. Keep an eye on the official channels or just follow Deadpool. He's the most interesting part, after all. Patch note rating: 11/10. Would break the fourth wall again. Deadpool out! See you in Season 6, true believers!
