Does anyone else get this crash message?

[super gaming man]

After I updated the game, when I press play on Steam, the Marvel Rivals Launcher will pop up and give me a notice saying "A crash has occurred, potentially caused by corrupted package files. Attempting to repair..."

[ChatoGuy1]

been seeing the pop up every other launch of the game requiring me to download some extra files again every time. every since 1.5 update

[Dixie D'Amelio]

happening here too. also noticed longer leading screen when getting into matches. Im used to having longer than usual loading times cause i have the game on Hard Drive but this has been significantly longer than usual since the Season 1.5 update

I've managed to fix it by deleting all folders except for MarvelGame in steamapps\common\MarvelRivals

Then verifiy the game files twice, and once you open the game launcher after verifying it'll give you a GPU crash error but you can just mark it as "Don't show again" and that is it

Hope this works for everyone

Edit: I've tested this by launching the game 3 times and crash message doesn't appear anymore and doesn't force you to redownload missing contents and such.

not working brother

Try check out your \steamapps\common\MarvelRivals\MarvelGame\Marvel\Content\Paks
folder for any mods like a ~mods folder or something, I deleted it but I don't know if that helped with the solution or not.

Delete your mods, idk if anyone of u has the insomniac spidey skin but if u had the mod for that before the skin was made after deleting it i no longer have that issue, it says theres a problem with your PAKS meaning that its your mods so delete them and validate ur files itll work

For me it always happens when I switch between steam accounts. Found no fixes.

Hey here's a couple solutions from reddit if anyone wants to test them and report back:

When you get the "crash has occurred" message
1 If it attempts a download let it finish
2 Delete any mods or configs you've added to the game at any point
3 Verify Files in Steam
4 Open the Launcher again but DON'T start the game
5 Close the launcher then close Steam
6 Then try launching the game like normal



Someone also reported that the workaround for avoiding the "Run as Administrator" popup fixed it for them:

Right click Rivals in Steam > Properties > General > Launch options and enter:

cmd /min /C "set __COMPAT_LAYER=RUNASINVOKER && start "" %command%"

Launch game directly from game launcher and not from steam fixed it for me

About that since the new update I had the same problem until yesterday.
This solution I'm about to tell y'all should work for those using GeForce to play the game ,and I don't know for those using the steam app on PC windows because I didnt tested the problem on PC. Step 1, when the rig is open, Right click the blue stop button from the steam game as fast as possible. Step 2, right click the context menu > Properties > Privacy > Delete the In-Game Overlay Data twice or 3x. Step 3 : Relaunch the game.

Y'all tell me if it worked
(if it worked, do the same thing everytime you play the game.)
