Fixes
[p][/p][h2]All Platforms[/h2][p][/p][p]1. Fixed an issue where the replay list displayed for searched Factions during the Closed Qualifiers showed matches from the Open Qualifiers instead.  [/p][p] [/p][h2]Heroes[/h2][p][/p][p]1. Winter Soldier's Winter Woes: We've fixed a bug where Bucky's Ultimate Ability could be abnormally interrupted if Captain America initiated their Team-Up Ability at the same time. Now, when the Winter Soldier unleashes his fury, nothing will freeze him in his tracks!  [/p][p]2. Magneto's Magnetic Mayhem: Resolved a glitch where Max's Ultimate Ability Iron Meteor could take a detour when destroyed by enemies during high latency conditions, causing it to jump around like a rogue Sentinel. Now, when the Iron Meteor gets taken down, it stays down.  [/p][p]3. Mister Fantastic's Elastic Errors: Fixed a rare misfire where Reed's Distended Grip ability would sometimes register a hit without actually connecting at extreme distances, causing him to stretch himself too thin. Now his hits are as reliable as the Fantastic Four!  [/p][p]4. Iron Fist's Flying Fists: Corrected an issue where Lin Lie could still move while snagged by Squirrel Girl's Squirrel Blockade while using Jeet Kune Do in the air. Now, the only thing that should be flying is his fists, no more acrobatics under squirrel control!  [/p][p]5. Doctor Strange's Sorcerous Shenanigans: Fixed a bug where Stephen might miss out on Ultimate Ability Energy from terrain KOs if enemies passed through multiple portals before being eliminated. Now, the Sorcerer Supreme will always reap the rewards of his mystical maneuvers!  [/p][p] [/p][p] [/p][p]The Marvel Rivals universe is ever-evolving, and we have plenty more surprises and updates on the horizon. Stay tuned to our official announcements for more![/p][p] [/p][p] [/p]
