How to fix Marvel Rivals error code 211 

Check Marvel Rivals server status

You may encounter this error code when servers are down for maintenance. To confirm, check the game’s official Twitter and Discord server. However, if the game is still inaccessible, certain 3rd-party programs may be affecting your connection.



Disable server blockers

Server blockers let you select which regions you play with while blacklisting other servers, but sometimes these can disrupt your connection to online servers entirely, especially on a new game like Marvel Rivals. 

Consider disabling any server blocker programs you may have (you could be using it for a different game), and if that doesn’t work, the problem may be related to the way you connect.

Check your internet connection

Running a wired (ethernet) connection is highly recommended when playing online games for better fidelity, faster speeds and a more uninterrupted gameplay experience overall. You can also try connecting to a hotspot and see if the game loads properly.

If you’re still seeing error code 211 on your screen, it may be time to change which region you’re connecting to.

Use a VPN

A virtual private network (or VPN) lets you select a different location for your connection, essentially letting you bypass any regional restrictions. This method works for a variety of purposes and could let you access the game servers.

Flush your DNS

Your cache might be keeping you from properly reaching Marvel Rivals servers. Luckily, you can clear yours in just a few easy steps. Here’s how:

  1. Go to the Start menu and type “cmd” to open the Command Prompt.
  2. Type “ipconfig /flushdns” and press Enter.
  3. Type “netsh winsock reset” and press Enter.

This safe process essentially resets your device’s connection and lets you connect to game servers for the “first time”. It’s also a great fix for most connection issues.

Verify game files

Finally, if you’re still having trouble getting in, verify your game files via Steam to make sure you don’t have any corrupted files clogging your boot-up process!

To do this, do the following:

Open your Steam library > Right-click on Marvel Rivals > Select ‘Properties’ > Go to ‘Installed Files’ > Click on ‘Verify integrity of game files’
