Fix Marvel Rivals Error Code 10: Connection Troubleshooting

Marvel Rivals Error Code 10 indicates that your game client is failing to establish a stable connection with the game servers. This is usually caused by network interference, corrupted local game files, or your firewall blocking the connection handshake.

Why this happens

This error most commonly stems from a blocked connection between your system and the game servers. It can also be triggered by missing game files or incorrect DNS settings that prevent your machine from resolving the server address.

What you'll need

You will need administrator access to your PC to modify firewall and network settings. For PS5, simply have your network details ready.

Steps

1. 01
   Check downdetector.com for Marvel Rivals status to confirm the issue isn't a widespread server outage before attempting local fixes.
2. 02
   Power cycle your router by unplugging the power cable for 30 seconds and plugging it back in to refresh your internet connection.
3. 03
   On Steam, right-click Marvel Rivals, select Properties, go to the Installed Files tab, and click Verify integrity of game files to replace any corrupted data.
4. 04
   In Windows Security, navigate to Firewall & network protection, select Allow an app through firewall, and ensure Marvel Rivals is added with both Private and Public checkboxes marked.
5. 05
   If on PC, navigate to your Network properties, set DNS server assignment to manual, and set your Preferred DNS to 8.8.8.8 and Alternate to 8.8.4.4.
6. 06
   If on PS5, go to Settings, Network, Set Up Internet Connection, select your network, and update the DNS settings to Manual using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

Still not working?

If you are still seeing Error Code 10 after these steps, check your local security software or antivirus, as third-party suites often have their own firewall rules that override Windows settings. If the error persists, ensure your ISP is not throttling your connection, or try connecting via a mobile hotspot to rule out your local network environment.

Frequently asked questions

Does Error Code 10 mean I am banned?

No, Error Code 10 is strictly a connection issue related to network or file integrity and is not associated with account bans.

Will changing my DNS affect my internet speed?

Using Google DNS (8.8.8.8) is generally stable and often faster than default ISP settings, but it will not negatively impact your browsing or download speeds.
