Why Is Marvel Rivals Failing to Launch With Error Code 211?

[dasylisa]

When starting the game, I keep seeing marvel rivals error code 211. Has anyone else faced this issue, and is it linked to servers, updates, or system compatibility?

Yep, been seeing the same Marvel Rivals error code 211 since yesterday evening. Mine’s on PS5, and right when the menu should load it throws 211 and kicks me back to the dashboard. Looks like it’s happening to others too, so I’m guessing server/maintenance related, not just your setup.

Same boat here on Xbox Series X. Tried everything (cache clear, power cycle), but no dice. If it were a system compatibility thing, it wouldn’t let you launch at all, right? I feel like it’s tied to some server check on launch failing maybe auth servers are acting up.

I noticed error code 211 started popping right after the latest Rivals patch dropped today. Could be a bad rollout. Devs sometimes push updates that break launch authentication temporarily. I’d check their official Twitter/Discord they may have acknowledged downtime or rolling fixes.

For PC players: make sure your graphics drivers + OS updates are current. Saw a couple folks on Steam say updating drivers cleared their launch errors (different code though). Doesn’t hurt to do it, even if I’m leaning toward a server thing.

Quick check: is your network stable + not using VPN? Some games validate tokens with region locks, and weird routing can trigger errors like 211. I’d also try switching from Wi-Fi to wired (or vice versa) just to isolate network weirdness.

Just chiming in I searched Reddit/Discord and there are posts about error codes 200+ on launch today. People mention server maintenance that wasn’t widely announced. If that’s the case, all we can do is wait it out until it’s back up.

Has anyone checked if the error shows any extra text beyond “Error Code 211”? Some games include small subtexts like authentication failed or server not reachable. If you see that, it helps narrow it down (auth server vs matchmaking vs local issue).

Pro tip: every time I get launch errors, I log out of the launcher/account, then log back in before retrying the game. It refreshes tokens. Worth a shot with 211 who knows if it’s failing token validation at startup.

So far from all these reports it doesn’t sound like a hardware compatibility issue — more like:
server/auth validation problems
update/patch rollout
network or token issue

Best bet is:

1. Check official channels for maintenance
2. Update drivers/OS just in case
3. Try network tweaks
4. Be patient if it’s server side

Anyone got a confirmed fix yet?
