New Content
Controller Aim Assist Optimization
We've further optimized the Aim Assist system, introducing a smoother, more flexible mechanism for switching Aim Assist targets.
This new mechanism helps players switch Aim Assist targets between multiple enemies more quickly and naturally. While preserving the original aiming feel as much as possible, it makes tracking and flicking operations smoother and more intuitive, further elevating the overall aiming experience.
Taking into account different players' control habits, and to avoid disrupting those who have already adapted to the current Aim Assist mechanics, this optimization will be added to the Settings system as an optional feature. It will only take effect when players actively enable "Aim Assist Target Prediction."
Proper Noun Translation
We have added a recognition and localization feature for game-specific proper nouns in the chat system. This feature can quickly identify all proper nouns in chat and localize them into a language the player is familiar with.
Graphics & Performance
Experimental Feature: Client CPU Performance Optimization
By introducing a brand-new Intel compiler and combining it with PGO (Profile-Guided Optimization) technology, we have conducted deep foundational optimizations on the game client. Players can toggle this experimental feature on via the PC launcher (once enabled, the launcher will automatically download and apply the optimized client program). Enabling this is expected to boost CPU performance by approximately 10%, further improving frame rate stability in complex combat scenarios.
This feature is currently in the experimental phase. If you encounter any anomalies or stability issues while using it, please feel free to contact Customer Support with your feedback at any time.
Windows on ARM Version Supporting NVIDIA RTX Spark Series
We have officially launched a client version adapted for the Windows on ARM platform, featuring deep adaptation and optimization for devices equipped with the NVIDIA RTX Spark series. This significantly enhances the game's running performance on this hardware platform series. Additionally, this version fully supports NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution, DLSS Frame Generation, and NVIDIA Reflex low-latency technology, bringing a smooth, high-frame-rate, high-quality, and low-latency combat experience to players using NVIDIA RTX Spark series devices.
Fixes and Optimizations
Heroes
- The Thing's Missing Mending: Addressed an issue where, when using the base effect of the Unbreakable Forces Team-Up, the Bonus Health granted would unexpectedly disappear completely the moment the duration ended (it should correctly function like the enhanced effect). It's clobberin' time, not vanishin' time!
- Mister Fantastic's Double Trouble: Fixed a bug where, when using the Clobberin' Research Dept. Team-Up with the enhanced effect activated, Reed could use unexpected methods to simultaneously cast Distended Hammer and Stretch Punch while in the brawling stance, dealing unintended damage. The smartest man alive finally learned to play by the rules.
- Doctor Strange's Portal Paradox: Corrected a rare issue where moving toward Doctor Strange's portal could result in moving in the opposite direction. The Sorcerer Supreme has realigned the mystic geometry.
- Blade's Dash Delay: Fixed an occasional issue where Blade would experience stuttering during the sprint of Daywalker Dash. The Daywalker is back to moving like a blur!
Maps
- Never Stop the Music: Corrected an issue where the Overtime music would cut out under certain special circumstances. The battle anthem plays on!
- Wakandan Spatial Shift: Fixed an abnormal space in the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda: Birnin T'Challa map that could cause character positioning errors (such as when revived by Adam Warlock). The golden city's geometry is stable once more.
Other
- Vampiric Vexations: Fixed a display error in the Blood Hunt mode where activated effects would not reactivate after switching characters or reconnecting. The hunt continues uninterrupted!
- Mystic Misfires: Addressed an abnormal sound effect on Doctor Strange's Nautical Mystic costume. The arcane incantations are back in tune.
- Super-Soldier Showcase: Fixed a display error with the costume count on Captain America's Hero Profile interface. Cap's wardrobe is properly inventoried.
- Winter's Bad Hair Day: Resolved a graphical glitch with the hair on Winter Soldier's Captain America: The Winter Soldier costume when using the Take a Break emote out of combat. Bucky's locks are looking sharp again.
- Cosmic Camouflage Corrected: Fixed a texture error on the arm of Winter Soldier's Celestial Soldier costume in combat. The galactic gear is fully operational.
- Storm's Missing Spark: Corrected an issue where Storm's Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls costume lacked visual effects during emote animations in the Thunder aura. The weather goddess brings the thunder and the lightning!
- Dimensional Dust: Addressed a bug where White Fox passing through Doctor Strange's portal while in her Ultimate Ability Kumiho state could cause residual visual effects to remain. The sorcerer's gateways are squeaky clean.
The Marvel Rivals universe is ever-evolving, and we have plenty more surprises and updates in store for Season 11. Stay tuned to our official announcements for more!
