Fixed : Marvel Rivals Error Code 211

Marvel Rivals Error Code 211 is a common connection-related issue that prevents players from logging into the game. It indicates that your game client is having trouble establishing a stable connection with the Marvel Rivals servers.

This error can be caused by a variety of factors, including server outages, an unstable internet connection, or conflicts with your local network settings.

⚙️ What Causes Error 211?

The error occurs when Marvel Rivals fails to verify your Steam login, often due to:

  • Recent Steam password or account changes without re-login.

  • Corrupted game files or cache.

  • Network or firewall issues, DNS misconfiguration.

  • Use of anti-cheat blockers, VPN, or server-blocking software.

  • In rare cases, 5 GHz Wi-Fi or IPv6 networks triggering instability.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Fixes

1. Fully Quit Steam and Log Back In

If you’ve recently changed your password but stayed logged in, Marvel Rivals might fail to authenticate.

  • Right-click the Steam icon → Exit Completely.

  • Re-open Steam, sign in again, then launch the game.

2. Verify Integrity of Game Files

Corrupted files often prevent proper connection:

  1. Open Steam → Library

  2. Right-click Marvel Rivals → Properties → Installed Files

  3. Click Verify Integrity of Game Files

  4. Launch the game when complete

3. Clear Local Configuration via Launcher

Inside the Marvel Rivals launcher:

  • Click Clear Local Configuration Files, then Launch again

4. Allow Marvel Rivals & Steam Through Firewall

Ensure both are permitted in your firewall settings:

  • Open firewall.cplAllow an app → Enable Private & Public for both Steam and Marvel Rivals

5. Flush DNS & Reset Network Settings

Clear cached network data:

ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset

Optional: netsh int ip reset and IP release/renew.

6. Disable Server Blockers, Mods & VPNs Temporarily

These can interfere with NetEase’s authentication:

  • Turn off any traffic-shaping tools or region-lock utilities

7. Switch Wi-Fi Band or Force IPv4

Some players reported success by:

  • Switching from 5 GHz to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi

  • Disabling IPv6, ensuring only IPv4 connectivity

One user wrote:

“…forcing my router to operate on 2.4 GHz fixes the disconnection issues. I presumed 5 GHz provides more stability but it’s in fact the opposite.”

8. Use a VPN (e.g. ProtonVPN)

Temporarily connecting via a region like the US or Japan can workaround route or regional T&C issues—especially during log-in.

In some cases, users needed to accept the terms of service via a browser pop-up once the VPN connected.

9. Run Steam/Game as Administrator

Ensure elevated permissions:

  • Right-click Steam or Marvel Rivals launcher → Properties → Compatibility → Run as administrator

10. Try via Epic Games Store (if available)

Some players opted to install the game via Epic Games instead of Steam to bypass the connection issue altogether.


🧾 Community Insights

Some users on Reddit confirmed fixes after:

“…clearing my Local Files … then clicked Launch. Worked for me”

“This worked for me after I had just exited Steam and restarted the app.”

Others noted obeying firewall rules or IPv4-only networks solved the issue.
