The newest patch notes for Marvel Rivals have been released, offering a set of updates that players are likely to appreciate. This patch, which became available on March 13, introduces various minor fixes and adjustments aimed at improving the overall gaming experience.
One notable adjustment involves the character Loki. Players may have experienced issues where his Ultimate Ability transformation led to improper camera angles. This glitch has been resolved, ensuring Loki’s dramatic exits are now smooth and visually appealing.
In addition to adjustments for specific heroes, the patch includes several bug fixes across the game. For instance, the Winter Soldier had a problem with his Tainted Voltage automatic reload not activating under certain conditions, especially after firing or using his Trooper’s Fist ability. Thankfully, this issue has been fixed, allowing players to fully utilize his capabilities in gameplay.
Moreover, the game has addressed general clipping problems, which occasionally caused characters to get stuck in different places within the map. These fixes enhance the fluidity of gameplay, preventing frustrating interruptions during intense moments.
