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:
Open Steam → Library
Right-click Marvel Rivals → Properties → Installed Files
Click Verify Integrity of Game Files
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.cpl→ Allow an app → Enable Private & Public for both Steam and Marvel Rivals
5. Flush DNS & Reset Network Settings
Clear cached network data:
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.
