Marvel’s Avengers Patch Addresses Over 1,000 Issues | Game Rant

Players have had their hands on Marvel's Avengers for a little while now, and the reactions have been mixed. Some players have lingering questions after Avengers' ending, but for others, the issues were with the game itself.

It has been pointed out by many that Marvel's Avengers feels like two games put together. Some fans argue that on the one hand, the single player components are great, and feel satisfying in story and gameplay. On the other hand, the live service aspects don't mesh so well and feel unneccessary. What has held several players back is a series of issues with the game itself. This is what Crystal Dynamics addressed in a recent tweet/post.

It would not be wrong to say that Marvel's Avengers launched with numerous issues. Not all of these issues were huge, or fundamental in its design. However, there were enough for players to sit up and take notice, and for Crystal Dynamics to follow suit. In a recent post, Crystal Dynamics outlined 1000 issue fixes that it had rolled out with a patch for the game. It was well known that Avengers' issues would need to be fixed before DLC was implemented, so this is definitely a good focus for Avengers' big patch.

Looking over the list of issues that the patch supposedly fixes, it's stunning to know how many problems made it into the game. Many now-fixed issues in the campaign deal with characters getting stuck or infinite loading screens. Matchmaking in multiplayer had to be dealt with, and there was an overhaul on several UI points to make them function better. In combat, multiple issues had to be dealt with involving characters and enemies freezing or failing to do something. Adaptoids had to be tweaked as well, to make them more fair. It's uncertain how much this will add to the already massive amount of storage Avengers takes up (at least on PS4).

The art and animation issues fixed paint a picture of a game world that must have looked amusingly broken at times. Desynced moves, seeing through walls, and ragdolling are just a few of the fixes mentioned. There is no specific mention as to whether the devs fixed the problem with Marvels' Avengers ending cutscene, but perhaps it is covered by one of the general fixes.

More disturbing are the changes that were necessary for the gear and rewards systems. Issues of players not receiving rewards or having resources disappear on them seem to have been plentiful. With these being a considerable hindrance to players, it's good the loot system was fixed relatively early (and hopefully fixed well). Whether this will make the leaked Avengers raid presumably coming next have worthwhile loot remains to be seen.

Marvel's Avengers is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
