[24-09-2020] Patch Notes for V1.3 Build 13.18 (1.3.1)

[Nixxes_Official]

Hello Marvel’s Avengers community!

Patch 1.3.1 addresses a handful of large issues, including a fix for players being unable to accept Faction Missions / Villain Sectors.

We recognize and apologize that this bug prevented players from being able to earn specific rare rewards, and as such, are granting the following to all players:

250 Polychoron
500 Uru

These rewards can be claimed from Thursday, September 24 at 10:00 AM PDT until Thursday, October 1 at 10:00 AM PDT. You must view one of your Challenge Cards to activate this reward.

Thank you for the continued feedback!

- The Crystal Dynamics Team

help! Can't seem to claim the Poly and Uru when going to one of my challenge cards as well.

[Bug Eyed Billy(Pat)]

still doesnt address missions where it has just a black screen once you complete a mission.
matching making doenst work
invites STILL dont ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ work
It is literally impossible to string more than 2 missions together without a loading glitch or a crash

maybe cause im in australia and they are using the doorstop servers or something but ITS IMPOSSIBLE to string more than 2 missions together

at the beginning at least you could do that. id rather a crash every 5 hours and worse performance than praying I complete a mission
this is ♥♥♥♥

[earl.genesis]

It saddens me that ALMOST ALL my Iron Man's outfit that were locked due the previous update has now been unlocked EXCEPT my Legendary BYPASS outfit that I got from a legendary pattern when I unlocked Iron Man.

[Wrathful_Ronin]

This update hasn't worked for me, Villain sectors still bugged, no gift of Polychron or URU received , challenges are missing i.e. only one weekly challenge available the other is blank... or both weeklies blank (i only have 2 heroes left uncompleted challenge cards). i did get Iron Man iconic skin but don't really care now i have basically all his other skins. IDK if there was an issue being logged in before the update launched and then server side it thinks i got the polychoron (i got a notification at the main menu screen these were received but not actually given then logged off and updated but still not provided.
Super frustrating please help Devs i've put 200 hrs into this game but between the bugs, crashes and the end game content (and best gear) being single player missions which are over an hour long i'm really losing interest.

@Nixxes_Official I'm not sure if you guys are involved with matchmaking. Incase you're not, would you all be able to inform CD that currently Matchmaking is still broken on PC. I play on PS4 and PC, PS4 doesn't seem to have an issue with matchmaking, however here on PC we do. Thank you in advance.

I installed nvidia driver 431.60 and I still get the same crash in Vaults.

Try running the game as administrator? Do you have any antivirus with ransomware protection?

Both the game and Steam are running as admin.
And I tried disabling the AV. No difference.

It seems like a massive amount of problems with the game are due to corrupted save files. Try this too:

Disable cloud saves
Close the game (if running)
Go to the Documents folder on your computer (usually C:\Users\ your local username \Documents)
Open the folder used by Marvel Avengers, and then open the folder named after your Steam64ID (17-digit)
IMPORTANT - Back up the archive files in that folder (for example, copy them to another folder)
After backing up the file, delete save1_1.dat, save1_2.dat and save1_3.dat
Rename savebk_1 to save1_1.dat, savebk_2 to save1_2.dat and savebk_3 to save1_3.dat.
Re-enable cloud saves
Start the game again

A corrupted save issue makes the game freeze or crash when you hit start.
I had this happen yesterday and I fixed it.
The crashes happen only in Vaults. Doesn't matter what kind of vaults.
Everywhere else, it does not crash.
