Are you encountering Error Code 5 in Marvel Rivals, a mobile or PC game. Error codes like this are typically associated with issues either in the game client or the server.
Here’s how you can troubleshoot it:
1. Check Your Internet Connection
Weak connection: Error Code 5 can sometimes appear when your internet connection is unstable. Try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data (or vice versa) or restarting your router.
Ping issues: High ping can cause issues with online games. You can check your connection speed on websites like Speedtest.
2. Restart the Game and Device
Close the game and fully restart it. This can fix minor bugs or glitches.
If that doesn’t work, restart your device (phone or PC). This can help clear out any temporary issues that might be affecting the game.
3. Check for Game Updates
Make sure your Marvel Rivals game is updated to the latest version. Sometimes, error codes occur because you’re running an outdated version that’s incompatible with the servers.
4. Clear Cache and Data (for Mobile)
If you’re playing on mobile, try clearing the cache or app data:
Android: Go to Settings → Apps → Marvel Rivals → Storage → Clear Cache. If that doesn’t help, you can also try Clear Data (but note that this might reset your progress).
iOS: If clearing cache isn’t possible, try reinstalling the game to clear any corrupted files.
5. Verify Server Status
It’s possible that Marvel Rivals’ servers are down or undergoing maintenance. Check the official social media pages or websites like DownDetector for server status updates.
Sometimes, developers will also post maintenance schedules or news on their Twitter, Facebook, or Discord channels.

6. Disable VPN or Proxy
If you’re using a VPN or proxy, try disabling it. Sometimes these services can interfere with the connection to game servers, leading to errors like Code 5.
7. Reinstall the Game
If all else fails, uninstalling and then reinstalling the game might resolve the issue by ensuring you have a fresh copy of the game with no corrupt files.
8. Contact Support
If you’re still having trouble after all these steps, it might be best to reach out to Marvel Rivals’ customer support. They may be able to offer more targeted help or let you know if there’s a bigger issue affecting many players.
Still stuck on the error?
If you’re still stuck on Error Code 5 in Marvel Rivals, here are a few more steps you can try before reaching out to customer support directly:
1. Check for System-Specific Issues
PC (Steam or Web version):
Ensure that you’re running the game with administrator privileges (right-click the game shortcut and choose “Run as Administrator”).
Disable antivirus or firewall temporarily to see if it’s blocking any game components. If it works, you may need to add an exception for the game in your antivirus or firewall settings.
Mobile (Android/iOS):
Check if any other apps are causing background interference (e.g., notifications, background data). Sometimes apps like battery savers or task managers can disrupt online games.
2. Try a Different Device or Platform
If possible, try logging into the game on a different device. If you’re on PC, you could try using mobile (or vice versa). This might help narrow down whether it’s a device-specific issue.
3. Clear DNS Cache
Sometimes, your DNS cache might be causing connection issues:
On PC:
Open Command Prompt as Administrator (Search for “cmd” in the Start menu, right-click it, and select “Run as administrator”).
Type the command:
ipconfig /flushdnsand press Enter.Restart your PC and try the game again.
On Mobile: You can try switching to a different DNS provider (like Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS) in your Wi-Fi settings.
4. Temporary Server Issues
Game updates or server maintenance may still be in progress, and these updates can cause brief downtime or disruptions in connectivity. To confirm:
Look for official announcements from Marvel Rivals’ support or community channels, such as Discord, Twitter, or Facebook.
Check a status page: Sites like DownDetector can show if others are experiencing similar issues, which might indicate a widespread problem.
5. Try Logging in via a Guest Account
If the error happens after logging into your account, try playing as a guest (without logging into your account) to see if the error persists.
This can help determine if it’s an account-specific issue.
6. Use a Different Network
If you’re on Wi-Fi, try switching to mobile data (or vice versa) to rule out network issues.
Alternatively, you could connect to a different Wi-Fi network (such as a friend’s or public network) to see if the issue is network-related.
7. Check for Account Restrictions
Account restrictions or bans: Sometimes, error codes can be triggered by account bans or restrictions. Check if you’ve received any communication from Marvel Rivals or if there are any restrictions on your account that might prevent you from accessing the game.
8. Contact Support with Details
If none of these steps work, contact Marvel Rivals’ support directly. When you do, make sure to provide:
The exact Error Code you’re seeing.
Your account details (but not your password).
Any troubleshooting steps you’ve already tried.
Your device type and operating system (PC or mobile, version, etc.).
A screenshot or detailed description of the issue if possible.
