Marvel Rivals game-breaking bug punishes players with low FPS

A Marvel Rivals glitch disproportionately affects players with lower-end PCs, creating an unintended "pay-to-win" scenario. Lower FPS (frames per second) results in reduced movement speed and damage output for several key characters.

This isn't a deliberate game mechanic, but a significant bug stemming from the Delta Time parameter – a crucial element in game development that ensures consistent gameplay regardless of frame rate. Fixing this will likely require substantial developer time and effort.

Currently, the following heroes are known to be impacted: Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Venom, Magik, and Star-Lord. These characters exhibit slower movement, reduced jump height, and decreased damage. Other heroes may also be affected.

Until a patch is released, players are advised to optimize their FPS, potentially by lowering graphical settings.
