Marvel Snap crashing on PC (Steam) for some players after latest update

Available on mobile and PC, Marvel Snap is an interesting take on the collectible card game genre. It features many beloved characters from the Marvel universe that can be used during battles against others.

However, just like every other game, it’s not immune to occasional bugs and issues. We previously covered a story where the game kept showing the ‘Aw, Snap’ error due to a server outage.

And now, it appears that a recent update has broken the game for some PC players that downloaded it through Steam.

Marvel Snap crashing on PC

The developers recently released an update that brought several balance changes and bug fixes. However, some report (1,2,3,4,5,6) that Marvel Snap is constantly crashing on PC after installing the latest patch.

According to players, the game experiences severe crashing issues when certain cards are played during battles. Due to this, the game may shut down in the middle of the round preventing players from completing the match.

This is incredibly frustrating as it leads to a loss of progress and hinders the overall gaming experience. Players have mentioned that the game crashes especially when cards are played on Cloning Vats.

Cloning Vats are basically cards that allow you to copy any other card of your choice. Unfortunately, playing any card on Cloning Vats now breaks the game for some.

Going by reports, it seems that cards like Mystique are the most by the issue. It’s worth noting that Cloning Vats are not the only cause for the ongoing crashing problems.

Gamers are experiencing such issues even on completely random occasions since the last update. It appears that the animations are broken as well.

When players try to reconnect, the animation plays and the game crashes once again making them stuck in an endless crashing loop.

The only way to get out of the loop is to wait on the main menu for 15 minutes until the ‘reconnect’ button changes to ‘Play’. Unfortunately, there aren’t any workarounds to fix the crashing issues at the moment.

The developers are yet to officially acknowledge the problem either. We’ll keep an eye on this matter and update this story to reflect noteworthy developments.
