Marvel Rivals players are messing with their config files 'to cancel games with no consequence' before they get a loss

Players of the game Marvel Rivals are exploiting their configuration files to prematurely end matches they are losing, causing no repercussions for their actions. Streamer LytePk posted on social media about this issue, claiming it has happened to them five times in a single stream. The cheating detection system appears to be circumvented by players who manipulate their config files mid-game, leading to the match being cancelled.

This behavior seems to involve players temporarily leaving the match, adding config files to the game folder, and then returning to the game, which results in the match being cancelled. NetEase has acknowledged this issue and warned that players caught using modded config files will face penalties, but the consequences have remained relatively lenient, including automated game cancellations and no demotion ranking.

Some players have also experimented with modding their config files to improve game performance, but NetEase has penalized this behavior with temporary suspensions. The issue may require a more complex solution from NetEase, but it seems unlikely that they will take significant action against this particular form of cheating.
