Marvel Rivals draws a line in the sand when it comes to using mods and configs ‘to get an unfair combat advantage’ but that doesn’t help players looking for a stutter fix

Marvel Rivals developers say they will punish players who use mods or configuration changes to gain an unfair combat advantage. The announcement addresses tools that can make opponents easier to spot or hear, while also acknowledging that some players alter settings to reduce performance problems.

The prohibited changes include simplifying maps, amplifying footsteps and removing screen shake; the developers say modifications involving memory injection will be treated like cheats. NetEase plans an optional experimental PC client in Season 11, which it says could improve CPU performance by up to 10% and significantly reduce stuttering. It is also testing a visual-effects setting intended to make fights clearer, though the article questions whether these changes will be enough.
