A Reddit user uncovered a game-breaking bug in Marvel Rivals that unfairly disadvantages players with less powerful PCs. The problem? Low FPS (frames per second) directly impacts several heroes, causing them to move slower and inflict reduced damage! Given Marvel Rivals' demanding system requirements, this effectively transforms the game into a pay-to-win scenario, but instead of paying the developers, players are forced to invest in better PC hardware.

This is clearly a significant bug, not an intended game mechanic. However, a swift fix isn't likely. The underlying issue stems from the Delta Time parameter – a crucial element in game design that ensures consistent gameplay regardless of frame rate. Resolving this complex technical problem will undoubtedly require considerable development time.

The following Marvel Rivals heroes are currently affected:

• Doctor Strange
• Wolverine
• Venom
• Magik
• Star-Lord

These characters exhibit slower movement, reduced jump height, and diminished damage output. Other heroes may also be impacted. Until a patch arrives, the most practical solution is to prioritize improving your FPS, potentially by lowering graphical settings.
