Several Marvel Rivals players across the globe have been facing connectivity issues since the launch of the Season 1 update. Many have reported being unable to log in to their account despite the availability of a strong network connection.

  • Restart your internet connection – Disconnect and then reconnect your WiFi connection to refresh the network. This should resolve any network issues.
  • Flush DNS – Flush the DNS cache to minimize issues due to outdated or corrupt DNS entries. Open the Command Prompt (Run as Administrator) and type ipconfig /flushdns. Press Enter to continue and restart your system. Try logging into the game again to check if the issue has been resolved.
  • Restart Steam – Restart the Steam application if you feel that the game launcher is causing the “Server Connection Failed” error.

If none of the above workarounds prove helpful, you must wait for the developers to fix the problem.
