All fixes in Marvel Rivals patch notes

All Platforms

1. Iced an issue with Human Torch's 'Hot & Trending' Achievement that could cause it to fail in rare cases.

2. Fixed a bug where the Battle Pass bonus was playing invisibility cloak at the results screen, but we've revealed it for good!

3. Squashed a bug where the player name anonymity effect in the top-left voice prompt stubbornly stuck around like Loki's tricks, even after the time limit expired.

4. Stopped a dizzying spectator situation where switching to follow-cam and rotating your view with a controller, followed by using keyboard shortcuts, may cause directional inputs to twist like Doctor Strange's portals!

Heroes

1. Mister Fantastic's Stretching the Limits: Fixed an issue where Reed's Stretch Punch could occasionally fail to deal damage when sweeping through targets. No more missed punches, Reed's reach is as fantastic as ever!

2. Mister Fantastic's Rubber Rebound: Resolved an issue where the projectile, after absorbing damage with Reflexive Rubber, sometimes didn't deal damage. Now, Reed's payback is truly fantastic!

3. Peni Parker's Spider-Sync: Addressed a bug where, during her Ultimate Ability, the sound effect for deploying Spider-Drones didn't match the actual spawn rate while moving. Now Peni and SP//dr are perfectly in sync, no more off-beat spider drops!

4. Luna Snow's Frosty Footwork Fix: Some of Luna's costumes had her sliding slightly off-center during her Ultimate Ability dance. Now, her performance stays perfectly centered on stage, no more straying too far from the spotlight!

Console

1. Fixed an issue on consoles where the chat box didn't auto-focus or pop up the virtual keyboard.

With the Marvel Rivals universe ever-evolving, there are many more surprises and updates on the horizon.
