NetEase GamesThe Marvel Rivals 211 error code prevents players on PC from getting into the game on Steam and can be extremely frustrating, especially when it keeps rearing its head.
Season 2 of Marvel Rivals added the legendary Vanguard, Emma Frost, to its roster, alongside various buffs and nerfs, themes like the Hellfire Gala, and, of course, a ton of skins to make your characters look as powerful as they are.
However, to enjoy most of those features, and the ones coming up in Season 2.5 (alongside Ultron), you might need to solve the pesky ‘failed to connect to Steam error’. So, here’s exactly how to do that, so you can dive right back into the action.
How to fix Marvel Rivals error code 211
The code itself means your game isn’t able to connect to its host, Steam, which means it can’t load up and let you in. Thankfully, there are a few ways you can fix the 211 error in Marvel Rivals.
Check server status
The first step players should take is to check the game’s server status. If Marvel Rivals is down for maintenance or otherwise, then it won’t let you in.
NeteaseThe best way to do this is to check out our server status hub or take a look at the Marvel Rivals X account. Both regularly update whenever the server goes down.
Check your wifi
If the servers are up and running, then it’s entirely likely that your internet connection is the issue. After all, if your internet isn’t stable, then it can’t connect to Steam and creates the error.
First, head to your search engine and try a speed checker to see the quality of your internet. If it’s lower than expected, restart your router. Alternatively, it’s worth ensuring you have a wired connection, as this is more stable and should help connect you to Steam.
Disable any server blockers
Aside from internet or server issues, one of the primary reasons for the connect to Steam 211 error is the game rejecting you due to its anti-cheat. In this case, you’ll want to disable any server blockers, mods, or aspects Marvel Rivals actively rejects.
Similar blockers and cheats for other games can affect Marvel Rivals too, so be sure to remove those if you’re still having issues.
Verify your game files
One of the last ways to fix the problem is to head into Steam and verify your game files, ensuring nothing’s broken. To do this, follow the below steps:
- Open your Steam Library.
- Right-click on Marvel Rivals.
- Select Properties.
- Head to Installed Files.
- Click Verify integrity of game files.
This will take a while, but it’ll essentially scan through every file and ensure they’re running correctly. If there’s anything wrong, then you’ll be able to fix it and load back into the game.
Contact support
If all else fails, then it’s worth heading over to the Marvel Rivals tech support and contacting them. They’ll be able to assess whether it’s a game-wide issue or something they can fix on your account.
You can find the support in the official Marvel Rivals Discord channel.
