Smoother Gameplay: Fixes and Optimizations for All!
We've been listening, and we've squashed some pesky bugs to make your experience even better. Here’s a look at the improvements across all platforms:
- Achievement Unlocked (For Real This Time!): The Hydra Charteris Base Achievement, "Cut off One Head," was a bit tricky. We’ve fixed an issue where winning as the Red Team might not have registered the achievement. Now, your hard-earned victories will be properly recognized. Hail Hydra!
- Clobberin' Club Clarity: The team format display in the Clobberin' Club settings menu was acting a little wild. We've brought it back in line, so what you see in the settings is exactly what you get. No more confusion!
- Loki's Proficiency Purity: Loki was a bit too clever for his own good, gaining Proficiency for whoever he transformed into. That's been corrected! Now, his Proficiency will accurately reflect his own mastery, not borrowed glory.
- Times Square Disco Physics: In the dazzling Times Square map, Cloak's cape was missing its dramatic flair, stuck in a stiff pose. We've restored the physics, so his cape now flows with the shadowy intensity the dance floor deserves!
Console Enhancements: A Sharper Hero Select!
For our console players, we've made some significant improvements to the pre-match hero select screen. You'll notice sharper, clearer character models thanks to enhanced memory usage. Say goodbye to blurry heroes and hello to crystal-clear Marvel action!
Hero-Specific Fixes: Ensuring Seamless Power!
We've also fine-tuned some hero abilities to ensure everything works as intended:
- Angela's Portal Precision: An issue where Angela's Assassin's Charge could send an enemy Doctor Strange into an unintended dimension has been resolved. Doctor Strange will now land precisely where he should, with his sling rings functioning perfectly.
The Marvel Rivals saga is far from over! This is just a glimpse of what's to come. We're constantly working to bring you more exciting content and updates. Keep your eyes peeled for our official announcements – you won't want to miss what's next!
But here's where it gets interesting... While these fixes are designed to improve gameplay, some players might argue that the original 'glitches' added a certain chaotic charm to the game. Do you prefer a perfectly polished experience, or do you sometimes enjoy the unexpected quirks that can arise in a live game? Let us know in the comments below!
