As developer Arc System Works promises a fix, Marvel Tōkon's suffering PC players are creating some bizarre home remedies for its dire performance woes

Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls has arrived on PC, but the performance of the game has been anything but smooth. Reports from Windows users have been pouring in, detailing issues such as stuttering, problems with online matchmaking, and heavy CPU strain. In response to these troubles, some gamers have come up with creative solutions to improve their gaming experience.

One workaround involves enabling the "set graphics automatically" option within the game's settings, which has reportedly boosted performance for several players. Another method suggested by a user on the game's Reddit page is to manually set a fixed 60 FPS cap, which eliminates the frame pacing issue that causes performance spikes.

A less conventional fix, possibly linked to the game's use of Unreal technology, is to have the Epic Game Store running in the background while playing Marvel Tōkon. However, this solution does not guarantee a fix for everyone, as many users continue to grapple with performance issues. Despite these setbacks, there is a glimmer of hope as an official statement from the game's developers, Arc System Works, promises to address the performance and stability issues on PC.

The statement assures players of upcoming improvements, including reduced lag and fixes for frame drops.
