I can't play the game because of gpu crashes.

In the first month of release this game ran smoothly, no wait time for shaders, no lag, no crashes. Now i can't even open the game without a gpu crash. I've tried everything, even rollingback my driver to 566.14 and it's still crashing. Marvel Rivals needs to fix this issue so i don't have to play overwatch anymore.

What are your specs? I've never had those issues before.

I had the same issue. I tried everything Steam suggested and nothing worked. I decided to try playing the game through Epic Games since it is a free game and same issue but one key difference... they had an actual fix that worked for me. The following is the one I used and once I did it, I left Marvel open for hours with no more crashes.

Clear Shader Cache

If the problem still occurs, try fixing it by clearing the GPU shader cache.

Open NVIDIA Control Panel -> Manage 3D settings -> Set Shader Cache Size to Disabled -> Save the changes and restart your computer. (***this part didn't work for me although I am using NVIDIA***)

Open the path %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\ and delete the DXCache folder within it. (===THIS SON OF A GUN WAS THE TICKET! The downside is it takes really long for the game to load so say something else causes you to crash or have to restart, you won't reload the game fast enough to jump back in your match.===)

Return to NVIDIA Control Panel -> Manage 3D settings -> Set Shader Cache Size to Enabled -> Save the changes and restart your computer.

Then, restart the game.


Hopefully this works for you, too. I had stopped playing the game for weeks because of the crashing and getting penalized for it. I literally got fed up with having to use a timer knowing I could play at most 40 minutes straight without worrying about the crash. Anything after that was a risk, so, I would restart or if I was in a match hope to finish.

Update: The problem is mostly fixed now. i can actually play a couple games. The only issue now is that it still crashes, and it crashed during a comp match which had me suspended from comp for 15 mins

I did crash somewhat often last week. I don't know if it actually does anything, but I restart the game every 2-3 games. Seems to be working so far.

i updated my bios today and it fixed my crashing issue after trying everything. would get 3-5 games on average but sometimes would crash first game.

after updating bios i played 10 games, got off to eat. then played another 13 games while recording in obs and never got a crash.

Doesn't bios auto update?
