Marvel Rivals March 27 Update Patch Notes
New Content
- Pick-Up Bundle
Bug Fixes
General Fixes
- Addressed an issue in Custom Game mode where a disconnected player’s character would incorrectly appear on the Like page during post-match results.
Map and Mode Adjustments
- Resolved multiple terrain irregularities that could cause characters to become trapped or clip into unintended areas.
- Rectified a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map where Rocket Raccoon’s B.R.B. ultimate ability could revive teammates outside of the playable zone due to environmental inconsistencies.
Hero-Specific Bug Resolutions
- Wolverine’s Terrifying Pounce: Fixed a bug where the Hulk could exhibit unexpected behavior after being launched into a terrain knockout by Wolverine’s Feral Leap ability. Hulk will now experience the intended interaction without unintended environmental effects.
- Iron Fist’s Wall-Climbing Whimsy: Corrected a glitch in the Practice Range where Iron Fist’s wall-climbing mechanics were performing outside of expected parameters. The martial arts master’s acrobatic skills are now properly calibrated.
- Iron Man’s Teleportation Tangle: In the Sanctum Sanctorum map, using Iron Man’s Hyper-Velocity ability immediately followed by portal entry could sometimes cause malfunctions, leading to ability misfires and graphical anomalies. Iron Man’s advanced tactics now function as intended, ensuring seamless entry and exit.
- Loki-Doctor Strange’s Forbidden Tech: Eliminated an issue in Doom Match mode where Loki’s transformation into Doctor Strange incorrectly allowed the use of the Pentagram of Farallah ability. This unintended ability combination has been removed.
- Magneto’s Magnetic Moments: Resolved an issue in the post-match sequence where Magneto’s MVP highlight could sometimes display distorted and unconventional visuals. The master of magnetism’s moments are now presented with appropriate clarity.
- Wolverine’s Ultimate with Pinpoint Precision: Fixed a snag with Wolverine’s Ultimate Ability where, under conditions of high network latency, enemies launched and slammed into the ground could occasionally end up in incorrect locations. All Last Stand impacts will now land accurately.
- Human Torch’s Fiery Focus: Addressed a rare bug where the Human Torch’s Primary Attack would sometimes miss its designated target, diminishing his intended incendiary effectiveness. Every flame burst will now accurately hit targets, guaranteeing consistent heat application.
Console-Specific Fixes
- Eliminated a bug that would occasionally cause the chat window focus to jump back to previous messages when opened unexpectedly.
