Marvel Rivals game-breaking bug punishes players with low FPS

A Marvel Rivals glitch is causing a major uproar among players. A Reddit user uncovered a game-breaking bug that disproportionately affects players with less powerful computers. Low FPS (frames per second) directly impacts several heroes, resulting in slower movement, reduced damage output, and shorter jump distances. This effectively creates a pay-to-win scenario, where players are forced to upgrade their PC hardware instead of simply paying for in-game advantages.

While this is clearly a bug, not an intended game mechanic, a swift fix isn't guaranteed. The core problem stems from the Delta Time parameter, a crucial element in game development that ensures consistent gameplay regardless of frame rate. Resolving this complex issue will likely require significant developer time and effort.

Currently, the following heroes are known to be affected: Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Venom, Magik, and Star-Lord. However, other characters may also be impacted. Until a patch is released, players are advised to optimize their FPS settings, potentially by reducing graphical fidelity.
