NetEase GamesMarvel Rivals players are reporting that the Practice Range isn’t working for them, leaving them with nowhere to try out new characters and abilities.
One of the most crucial elements of Marvel Rivals is choosing the best hero to suit your playstyle. You can see a full breakdown of each character and their kit from the main menu, but you don’t truly know if they’re right for you until you test them out.
If you don’t want to risk getting steamrolled in a real match while you learn the ropes, the Practice Range is the perfect place to get a feel for the character. However, many players are reporting that the training area won’t load for them beyond 1%, so here’s what you can do to fix it.
How to fix Practice Range loading error
Restart the game
It’s not exactly technical, but sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting the game and trying again. Doing this acts as a light reset that is known to fix minor errors, so once you open the app again you’ll potentially be able to access the Practice Range again.
If the problem persists after that, you might need to take more drastic action.
Verify game files
The issue seems to be mostly affecting PC players, so the first thing you should do is verify the game files to check that everything is working as intended. To do this, simply follow these steps:
- Go into your library.
- Right-click on Marvel Rivals.
- Select ‘Properties.’
Dexerto- Click ‘Manage Files.’
- Hit ‘Verify Integrity of Games Files.’
DexertoCheck your internet connection
Marvel Rivals requires a constant internet connection, so if the Practice Range won’t load for you, it’s possible that it’s a problem with your internet. We recommend running a test to ensure that you’re getting the speeds you’d normally expect.
If you’re using wi-fi, it’s also best to switch to a wired connection if possible, as this offers a more stable experience with fewer drops.
Reinstall Marvel Rivals
NetEase GamesIf all of the above methods fail and you’re desperate for a solution, the last resort should be to delete and reinstall the game from your system. This allows you to get rid of any problematic files and start again with a clean slate.
All of your progress is tied to your account, so don’t worry about losing all of your hard work. If you log back in with the same profile, all of your skins, achievements, and competitive ranks will be there waiting for you to continue.
What causes the Practice Range not working issue?
While they haven’t officially explained what causes the issues, it appears to be a server issue on the developer’s side, as many players all began reporting the Practice Range wouldn’t load at the same time. So, if this is the case, the problem likely won’t be completely resolved until NetEase releases a fix.
However, if it is a player-side issue, then the methods listed above could help solve the problem for you.
