Many players have reported that there’s a lot of screen flickering (or flashing) when they’re playing Marvel Rivals. For instance, this is what a player’s Reddit post said: “I left Marvel Rivals on for about an hour, then came back to my screen flickering like crazy. Don’t know if this is a bug in the game, but I’ve never seen my pc do that before.” This is how you can fix the Marvel Rivals screen flickering on a Windows PC.
Disable V-Sync
Some players say they’ve fixed their Marvel Rivals screen flickering by disabling V-Sync. V-Sync stands for Vertical Synchronization, which limits the frame rate to better match a VDU’s resolution. This is how you can disable V-Sync:
- Start your Marvel Rivals game.
- Click the cog menu button to select Settings.
- Turn off the V-Sync option on the Display tab.

- Click on Apply.
Disable G-Sync
Players also confirm that disabling G-Sync can resolve Marvel Rivals screen flickering. This is a potential fix specifically for NVIDIA graphics cards that support G-Sync. You can disable G-Sync like this:
- Open the NVIDIA Control Panel by right-clicking the Windows desktop area and selecting the shortcut for that software.
- Click Set G-Sync in the NVIDIA Control Panel.
- Unselect the Enable G-Sync, G-SYNC Compatible checkbox.

- Start Marvel Rivals and go to the Display tab in the in-game settings.
- Turn on the Limit FPS option.
- Drag the bar slider for the FPS Cap option to set the value to 60.

Disable AMD FSR3 Frame Generation

- Run Marvel Rivals from Steam.
- Open the Display tab in the game’s settings.
- Click the Frame Generation drop-down menu and select Off.
The Frame Generation Mode option
- Press the Apply button.
