Fixes and Optimizations: Making the Battlefield Fairer and Smoother!
We've been listening, and our team has been hard at work squashing bugs and fine-tuning the game across all platforms.
Across All Platforms:
- Hydra Charteris Base Achievement Fix: Did you ever win as the Red Team and not get credit for the "Cut off One Head" achievement? Well, no more! Your hard-earned victories will now be recognized. Hail Hydra!
- Clobberin' Club Team Format Clarity: The team format display in the Clobberin' Club settings was a bit unreliable. We've smacked it back in line, so what you see is truly what you get.
- Loki's Mastery Mischief Resolved: Loki was being a bit too clever, gaining Proficiency from characters he transformed into. That sneaky advantage is gone! Proficiency will now only reflect Loki's own accomplishments, ensuring fair progression.
- Times Square Disco - Cloak's Physics Fixed: In the vibrant Times Square map, Cloak's model was lacking some crucial physics, leaving his cape stiff and his shadowy presence less impactful. Now, his cape flows as dramatically as the occasion demands, adding to the visual spectacle!
Console Specific Optimizations:
- Hero Select Sharpened: We've boosted memory usage on the pre-match hero select screen, resulting in crisper, clearer character models. Say goodbye to blurry heroes and hello to pristine Marvel definition!
Hero Specific Fixes:
- Angela's Portal Plunge: A rare but frustrating bug where Angela's Assassin's Charge could send an enemy Doctor Strange adrift in the multiverse when passing through a portal has been fixed. Doctor Strange will now land exactly where he's supposed to, with his sling rings functioning perfectly.
But here's where it gets controversial... Some might argue that the original glitch with Loki's Proficiency offered a unique, albeit unintended, gameplay loop. Do you think fixing it was the right call, or did it remove a layer of strategic depth? Let us know in the comments!
The Marvel Rivals universe is a living, breathing entity, constantly evolving with new surprises on the horizon. Keep your eyes peeled for more official announcements – you won't want to miss what's next!
What are your thoughts on these upcoming changes? Are you excited for the new bundles, or are the fixes more your speed? And what's your favorite free emote you've ever received in a game? We'd love to hear your opinions!
