Marvel Rivals is a highly anticipated game and after successful betas, it has finally been fully released. However, there are some issues plaguing players, such as the one where the loading screen is stuck at 99% during matchmaking or even in-game. You can hear the announcer and other players moving around, but your character will only get loaded in after a few minutes. This is incredibly frustrating not just for the player but also for the teammates, and unfortunately, it’s happened to quite a lot of players.
While there is no exact fix that will work for everyone, here are some potential workarounds that may solve the problem.
How to Fix Marvel Rivals Loading Stuck at 99
The most common cause of this infinite loading screen issue appears to be related to game installation on a hard drive (HDD) instead of a solid-state drive (SSD). So, install the game on an SSD, if possible. It can significantly improve loading times and potentially resolve the 99% loading screen issue in Marvel Rivals. The system requirements of the game on Steam also mention the need for an SSD drive for a better experience under additional notes, and it seems to have lowered the frequency of similar lag or disconnects for some players.
The other potential solution is to adjust the in-game settings to optimize performance such as lowering the graphics or overall settings. You can also try booting up the game in windowed mode to see if it works.
Lastly, if you have played the beta, uninstall the game, and do a reinstall to see if that fixes the loading screen stuck at 99 issue in Marvel Rivals. Make sure all the previous files of Marvel Rivals (from the beta) are cleared and you can start afresh with the fully launched version of the game.
