Rivals freezing my entire computer

[Caped64]

Don't know why, but for some reason Marvel Rivals is causing my entire computer to freeze and lock up. I've had it freeze on start-up, I've frozen in the middle of the game after hitting an enemy, it never really seems consistent. I have to hard reset my computer every time and I don't know what the issue is. Does anybody have any clue what could be the issue? I'd be happy to provide my specs if necessary

I have a similar issue, randomly when the game is running it freezes and crashes my entire pc for 10-15 seconds. Black screen and all

And I'm assuming only a hard reset fixes it?

Did you read the CPU warning when you first started the game?

I've already updated and reinstalled my graphic drivers and still nothing, my bad for not mentioning it before

what graphics card are you using. I just limited the clock speed of mine and it fixed it. Did it in msi afterburner

It's a feature, you got hit by the pre-release of the Iceman.

This sounds like a RAM problem like Ive had and didnt notice it first. I only have 16gb and usually thats more than enough for games + Firefox but not with Rivals. Rivals often exceeds 10gb RAM which fills my RAM up to like 97%, if you then add something like Firefox or other programs then it will exceed RAM and it will stutter, freeze and lockup.

As sidenote, lockups and freezes if you have them outside of a game it also can happen if you have a faulty harddisk in your system. The system doesnt even need to use it and it still will lockup and freeze your system, I had this once and it took me quite a while to figure this out back then.

Open your task manager while playing, ideally let it open on a 2nd screen and look at the RAM usage while playing.

It still wont run 100% well, it still needs to be optimized but most of my biggest problems are gone since I close Firefox while playing.

Also use SSGI lighting in the graphics options, not the other one which is turned on as standard, it will benefit you the most.

I have a setup of 32GB DDR5 RAM with 8GB RTX 4070 and this game still stutter when I run it with Turbo ASUS mode. How funny is that right?

I really don't get how people determine the standard requirement RAM usage for games. To say that a game basically needs around 6-12 GB to run smoothly, I guess it just basically a prank and not a system minimum requirement. A minimum requirement should be "run or fail" on startup. If a game could run, that means it is already pass.

What I'm pointing is, sometimes the developer never "really optimize" a game to run it in best way. As a result, even when we tried to put the epic setup, the in-game system itself unable to follow up. And even causing us a loss like RAM usage more than it actually needed.

They have been happening outside of the game actually, does this mean I gotta get a new SSD or something?

Not sure if it'll work for you but try checking your Task Manager for any Adobe background tasks and turn them off.

I reinstalled the game and the issue seems to be fixed
