Marvel Rivals is the hot new hero shooter that everyone is raving about. With the opportunity to jump in with iconic Marvel heroes and villains, the last thing you want is a pesky Network error holding you back. Here’s how to fix them if they arise.
Marvel Rivals is the newest title from NetEase featuring superheroes from the cinematic universe. With so many iconic characters on offer, it’s no wonder many are insanely hyped about its release.
Of course, the last thing you’d want while dueling it out in Marvel Rivals is being blocked by a network error, preventing you from loading into the game. These errors have been popping up in the closed Alpha that kicked off in May 2024.
These network errors appear to occur when the game’s servers go down or if the player has a local connection outage. Before you try and fix the network error though, it’s always worth checking the Marvel Rivals server status. If the servers are offline, you’ll just have to wait for them to come back online before playing again.
