Certain Marvel Rivals players on PC are facing an issue where the loading screen freezes after the 99% mark. As a result, they can’t get into matches – if you’re facing the same problem, here are some ways that can get it fixed.

Every multiplayer or live-service game comes with its fair share of bugs and glitches, and it’s no different for Marvel Rivals. While the December 10 patch update got several hero and map bugs fixed, the 99 percent loading screen issue is creating a bunch of problems.

So, here are a few ways to fix the 99 percent loading screen bug in Marvel Rivals.

Marvel Rivals 99% loading screen bug fix

Verify the integrity of game files

If you have installed the game via Steam and running into the 99% loading screen bug, try verifying the integrity of the game files. To do that, simply:

  1. Head over to the game library.
  2. Right-click on Marvel Rivals and click on Properties.
  3. Click on Installed Files.
  4. Then, click on the ‘Verify Integrity of Games Files’ button and the process will get started.

Move Marvel Rivals to SSD

If verifying game files goes in vain, you can install the game entirely on an SSD and give it a shot. If you have it installed on an HDD currently, Steam allows you to move files from one drive to another without requiring a reinstallation.

  1. Head over to the game library.
  2. Right-click on Marvel Rivals and click on Properties.
  3. Click on Installed Files.
  4. Click on the ‘Move install folder’ button.
  5. Choose the SSD from the dropdown menu.
  6. Then click on the blue ‘Move‘ button.

It will take some time to transfer the files.

Check your internet connection

While the issue might be with Marvel Rivals itself, try checking your internet connection and see if it’s stable or not. Make sure your speeds are consistent with what you usually expect. If you’re using Wi-Fi, switching to a wired connection can often provide a faster and more reliable experience.

Reinstall Marvel Rivals

As a last resort, consider uninstalling and reinstalling Marvel Rivals. If the game files are corrupted or didn’t download correctly, this can act as a much-needed reset.

Keep in mind that reinstalling means waiting on the sidelines while the game downloads again, but it’s often the most effective solution when all else fails. If the problem persists even after trying these steps, the only option left is to wait for the developers to address the issue directly.
