Marvel Rivals Stuck at 99% Loading: Fixes

These solutions primarily target PC players. Console users experiencing persistent issues might need to reinstall the game or try different servers.

Install on an SSD

For optimal performance and reduced loading times, install Marvel Rivals on a Solid State Drive (SSD). While playable on a Hard Disk Drive (HDD), an SSD significantly improves loading speeds and overall smoothness. Moving the game to an SSD could resolve the 99% loading issue.

Disable Your Firewall

Some players have reported success by temporarily disabling their firewall (e.g., Windows Defender) to resolve this Marvel Rivals loading problem.

Verify Game Files

Before a full reinstall, try verifying the game files' integrity. On Steam, right-click the game, select "Properties," and then choose "Verify integrity of game files." This allows the client to repair corrupted game files, potentially fixing the 99% loading freeze.

Update Graphics Drivers

Ensure your graphics card drivers are up-to-date. While driver updates don't always directly impact game functionality, they optimize performance and can resolve unexpected issues like loading problems.

Reinstall the Game (Last Resort)

If all else fails, reinstalling Marvel Rivals is a final troubleshooting step.
