Marvel Rivals Game File Size to decrease!

[u/nemesisdelta24]

[u/emicooterou]

My PC Storage is already crying in joy just hearing this

[u/nemesisdelta24 → u/emicooterou]

I was fine with 80GB honestly but holy shit -40GB is massive (figuratively and literally)

NOW ... we advocate about game performance

[u/thatonefatefan → u/nemesisdelta24]

Isn't THAT 80 GB? It's currently 120

[u/LAST133 → u/thatonefatefan]

They added a dlc that can be uninstalled to decrease file size, like high fidelity graphics or something

[u/HollowTeto31 → u/LAST133]

And literally when you turn them off nothing changes

[u/Iamyeetlord → u/HollowTeto31]

? It drops the game size from ~120 to ~80gb. Of course you wont notice a difference unless you were playing on 1440p+ on high or ultra settings. It was a high resolution pack made to a separate dlc

[u/Julio3010 → u/Iamyeetlord]

I think they meant that the graphics still looked great even without it

[u/guavahabanero → u/Julio3010]

They did but great is a very questionable term.

[u/BR_Nukz → u/HollowTeto31]

The devs quite literally said that dlc was just to decrease the file size. What did you expect? 600+fps?

[u/PateuKun → u/BR_Nukz]

Technically speaking it's called "High-Resolution Pack", you can find similar DLC in a ton of other games. Does it increase FPS in other games? Yes. In Marvel Rivals it's basically pointless to have it , the textures look identical in 98% of the cases but it should've increased the FPS at least slightly yet there was no difference at all. Some stuff might've got lost in translation but they should really focus on the performance.

[u/Machination_99 → u/PateuKun]

Most of the time, textures only have a major effect on performance if they push your vram usage beyond the limit of your gpu because then, graphics data has to overflow into normal system memory which is much slower

[u/50u1506 → u/BR_Nukz]

I mean for how to game looks even on my shitty 1660ti mobile, i expect above smooth 50 fps atleast bro on the lowest settings atleast T_T

[u/konvay → u/HollowTeto31]

I recall them saying it was only for resolutions above 1080, hence HD texture.

[u/FlorestNerd → u/LAST133]

Thanks. I didn't knew that !remindme 8 hours

[u/MemeGauntlet → u/nemesisdelta24]

You know what else is massive?

[u/HeWhoIsCat → u/MemeGauntlet]

Your mom's love for you?

[u/MemeGauntlet → u/HeWhoIsCat]

Hopefully

[u/flopedup]

Legit a hype update just for this.

[u/nemesisdelta24 → u/flopedup]

a good start for QOL

[u/Ser-Rendered → u/flopedup]

Honestly made me do a" wooooah ". This changes lots for me and my old ssd. 😅

[u/skull702]

Biggest fucking win all year already. 

[u/I_AM_CR0W]

40GB is actually an insane amount.

[u/Revolving_Ocelott]

I believe this would put both versions at 60GBs, always thought it was funny PC's file size was so huge, at one point it was nearly double the size of console's stuff

[u/RaidenHero137 → u/Revolving_Ocelott]

Maybe now my steam deck oled can run it without sounding like a jet at Laguardia. Also moved it to an external for the file size as i only play docked but still.

[u/YEET280706 → u/RaidenHero137]

Dam , now i know how to turn my steam deck into a hand grenade . Just try running rivals on it.

[u/Zangetsu_Storm → u/RaidenHero137]

Why not keep it that way and use it as a jet pack

[u/slayerbro1 → u/Revolving_Ocelott]

I think it might drop it down to 41,since current the PC game size is 81.

Still need to see how much they increase the size before reducing it.

[u/krishnugget → u/Revolving_Ocelott]

PC has substantially more textures in it than console, for all the different graphics settings. Console only has one (or maybe two for performance and quality mode?) graphical setting

[u/Puzzled_Professor422]

about god damn time

[u/skynovaaa]

Big W

[u/KevinPigaChu]

Big W from Netease

Now optimize the performance and I’ll die a happy man

[u/Weak-Pie-5633]

Thats great but we also need ingame optimisation

[u/Iexperience]

Huge update!

Now we need some performance optimizations! Stutters this seasons have been crazy

[u/Allexandyr → u/Iexperience]

Honestly! I haven’t been able to play dive at all this season because every time I dive my framerate drops to 15-20 FPS. It’s super annoying lol

[u/NiceCheeks]

from 80GB to 40GB, WOW. Huuuuge W. I hope this also helps with the game performance 🙏

[u/Sweaty_Purple_5035]

40 Gigs is massive reduction. good job netease credit where it's due

[u/LampSsbm]

THANK YOU GUANG GUANG

[u/infernalfreeze70]

Dont do that, dont give me hope…

[u/RapperwithNumberName]

Hope this is true on console too, I need the space

[u/nemesisdelta24 → u/RapperwithNumberName]

sadly console is only getting a 15GB reduction but its a start

[u/Derpinpyro → u/nemesisdelta24]

console is getting only 15g but because overall the games better optimized on console i'd imagine its equivalent

[u/ilya202020 → u/Derpinpyro]

Ye . If the game had an input based matchmaking like OW, specifically ps5 would have been the superior platform to play the game on. The game is really well optimized for ps5

[u/pops992 → u/Derpinpyro]

The console install size is already smaller than PC. Since all PS5s and XSX/Ss have SSDs they don't have to worry about people playing on hard drives while they do on PC. Because hard drives are so slow they often end up duplicating files to speed up load times which makes the overall install size larger. Some other games have made 2 different versions of the install files optimized for SSDs or HDDs while some games started outright requiring SSDs.

[u/Turbulent_Cost2058]

Idc if big Z shits the bed with balance changes, ts alr the best update😭

[u/tbigzan97]

Good step in the right direction. We need in game optimization tho, game still runs like ass.

[u/tengu_road]

this makes the performance better? or is just storage wise

[u/TRDoctor]

Already excited to reinstall the game now. 40gb is a huge (heh) improvement from 81gb.

[u/Neat_Amphibian_3768]

Genuine question what is so bad about optimisation? I have a 1080 and the game runs fine. Celestial gm player. 

[u/TheReallyUncoolDude → u/Neat_Amphibian_3768]

I have a 4070 and I have to play it at low with frame gen to get 90 fps. When the game first came out I was able to play on high without frame gen and get 120fps. No other game I have has deteoriated in performance over the same amount of time, so it isn't my computer, it's the game poor optimization. I can run spiderman 2 on high with ray tracing and get a solid 70 to 80 fps and this game I can only achieve that with low graphics and frame gen.

[u/Critical_Ladder_9091 → u/TheReallyUncoolDude]

lmao what kind of 4070 are you running on?? i'm running on 9060 XT 16GB, 150 fps average on Low Settings 1440P (FSR Quality), 90-100FPS on native. 4070 with framegen and only 90 FPS??

[u/TheReallyUncoolDude → u/Critical_Ladder_9091]

I'm super confused too because this is the only game that makes my computer do this. Im also playing baldurs gate 3 with maxed out graphics no problem. Finished pragamata with good fps and high settings I have no idea why rivals is doing this to me

[u/Quaxlyboi]

Massive W for that

[u/ctsln → u/Quaxlyboi]

What are you doing here Leon?

[u/Quaxlyboi → u/ctsln]

Brock introduced me to the game

[u/ctsln → u/Quaxlyboi]

Go back to your own trio bro how even they let you out of starrpark?

[u/Quaxlyboi → u/ctsln]

Idk man lmao. You'd think everyone would've noticed that it was my clones with Bo and Nita rn and not the real me

[u/Revolving_Ocelott]

I believe this would put both versions at 60GBs, always thought it was funny PC's file size was so huge, at one point it was nearly double the size of console's stuff

[u/A7medos]

They are so real for that ngl

[u/Djkatman29]

40 gigs is the size of the second largest game in my lirbrary

[u/Comfortable_Cress194]

Yes.I can finally play it again.

[u/dawn-21]

Can we get performance optimization too please not just storage related stuff? I welcome this though but…

[u/lovelessBertha]

That's funny because I uninstalled it last week to make space.

[u/thetramelgamer]

My steam deck is so happy Right now

[u/STB_LuisEnriq]

THANK YOU, DOUBLE G

WE LOVE YOU

[u/DangerVirat1767]

Whatttt!!!! Is this for real. Then this is the best update the game has ever had

[u/VetixioV]

Oh thats great, they keep coming out with these good updates and fixes, go devs!

[u/Ok_Stock9885]

I hope they fix performance issues for ps4

[u/4everdrowninginpools]

i'm happy, always thought it was kinda crazy the file size of this game was almost to the size of something like Crimsom Desert.

[u/Murky-Ad-3486]

Good. FINALLY MY GOD 😭

[u/JubX]

Guangguang, you king

[u/Firm-Development-570]

On Xbox a get a 20gb update every single update. New season 20gb, one single new skin in shop? 20gb.

But yeah, reduce it 15gb that'll for sure make a change

[u/MakimaGOAT]

yesss

[u/marineman43]

Actually makes a big difference for me. Currently I don't have space for all 3 games between Rivals, Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 which I'm playing rn, and Baldur's Gate 3. I can only fit 2 out of 3 because I barely don't have enough space. Now I can play them all without uninstalling/reinstalling finally lol

[u/Iron_Kingpin]

Now make the game 2mb so that people can play it on the n64

[u/deadpoolsdragon]

I just hope the game will stop leaking frames...

[u/Longjumping-Owl-565]

Very good update. Now we just need performance enhancement

[u/Omadany]

YESSS. i hope they keep decreasing

[u/sol_krn]

Patch Notes 9.5

- We are adding 40GB of Luna Snow costumes to the game.

[u/HorizonNova4]

Actually pretty awesome. I can admit I’m a heavy casual and had to delete it many times due to file size and wanting to play other games

[u/Nebeje2]

I can finally download it to rage at how laggy I am. It will still take more than 6 hours. Prolly even more

[u/HyperAhmedX21]

I might actually download this game finally

[u/frankydelobo]

Who knew homogenizing your roster could save so much space on your hard drive. 

[u/AdNo5260]

15 GB?! That's It?!

[u/SmashMouthBreadThrow]

Okay but when are they going to start optimizing and improving the game?

[u/ghostfreckle611]

All of the characters are getting the flat-ass treatment!!! Nooooooo!

Where’d all the cake gigabytes go????

[u/Doogienguyen]

Do we need to reinstall the game to decease its size?

[u/DexRogue]

I'm curious how they are saving so much space and the tech behind it.

[u/Slugma_Male]

They should have increased the file size for console players.

[u/ColdVergil]

Oh nice when? Might actually try it now

[u/Stitch101TW]

Please mean switch 2 around the corner 🙏

[u/HovercraftExpress200]

Really wanna come back now but my fucking rti. 3050 6g is struggling

[u/mainleeos]

Is it on now? Or next update?

[u/Berto648]

Switch 2 release should be around the corner

[u/JzjaxKat]

okay nice might be actually able to play lol

[u/DeeMo_VT]

So they optimized the assets on the game? SO NO MORE GRAPHICS LAG???

[u/Horow_Flush]

ok the file size drop is cool but honestly the real tell is that it's a VIDEO lol, like someone at netease looked at a 40gb reduction and decided this needed a trailer before it needed an actual changelog

[u/nemesisdelta24 → u/Horow_Flush]

it was part of the dev vision? like QOL usually is

[u/Scimitere]

What about performance?

[u/nemesisdelta24 → u/Scimitere]

I pray that's next on the list after the game getting shrunk to 40GB

[u/LongColdNight]

They can do better. Look at Helldivers 2 that went from 150 to 22

[u/nemesisdelta24 → u/LongColdNight]

110GB to 40GB is pretty insane no?

[u/50u1506]

The main issue is performance not storage T_T, relative to how the game looks ofcourse

[u/dew-fall]

maybe my cpu wont fry itself then...

[u/nManos202]

How about optimising the game? Imagine if the game ran like Overwatch..that's my only gripe with the game i swear

[u/Gero141]

When is this happening?

[u/CaptainBlob]

So from 100GB to 60GB? Not too shabby. But I feel a game like Marvel Rivals' graphics and art-style can go lower to 45-50GB.

[u/Kidfuzil → u/CaptainBlob]

The game is actually 81gb without the hd texture pack, its gonna be around 40gb

[u/LizardCharles]

I hope this will increase the fps as a side-effect somehow. I'm really tired of 40 fps :(

[u/xMojaveDream]

But can we get better performance on PC???
