Marvel's Avengers had a tough launch, and nowhere is this more evident than on PC.
The PC version of the game is riddled with bugs that cause the game to crash and freeze, perform poorly on high-performance installations, use all available resources, and much more. Some of these problems can be solved with simple tweaks, while others are not available to players and will have to be addressed by the developers. This guide will show you a list of known Avengers bugs and problems, and how to fix or prevent them whenever possible.
Marvel's Avengers keep crashing
Crashes are the most common problem faced by players. There are many things you can try, but none of them guarantee success:
- Disable any overlays you may have (Steam, Discord, Nvidia Experience, etc.)
- Set Game Priority High in Task Manager
- Close all background programs
- Enable Debug Mode in Nvidia Control Panel
- Disable Vsync
- Disable dynamic resolution
How to get rid of blurry and hazy effect in Marvel's Avengers
Even with motion blur disabled, people complained about the blurry image and the persisting blur effect.
To fix this problem, set Anti-Aliasing to SMAA and then turn off Bloom, Flare, and Depth of Field. You will also have to turn off the bulk zipper completely.
DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG
To stop receiving this specific error message, you need to start the game in windowed mode. If you are using the HD texture pack, set the textures to high, not ultra. You can also try limiting the frame rate to 30 in the GPU control panel.
Unlocked skins disappear
Some people have complained about the disappearance of the skins they have unlocked. They will appear as blocked in the list, even if you have already used them. This only happens when you change skins - the one you change from disappears, so the only thing you can do is not to change the skins until the problem is resolved.
100% CPU in Marvel's Avengers
Unreasonably high processor utilization is reported even on the most powerful processors. It looks like there is nothing you can do about it - maybe as the game gets better it will get better, but maybe not.
Avengers memory leak
Another major issue is memory leaks reported by players. The game just keeps consuming as much RAM as there is until there is no remaining, and then it starts to freeze. Restarting from time to time is a good workaround until there is a patch that fixes the problem.
