In a recent official statement from NetEase Games, it has been made clear that players using keyboard and mouse adapters on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles while engaging in Marvel Rivals will face account bans. The company views this practice as a breach of their rules, citing that it confers an unfair advantage due to the enhanced control sensitivity and the retention of aiming assistance features.
Adapters such as the XIM, Cronus Zen, Titan Two, KeyMander, and Brook Sniper enable the simulation of gamepad inputs using a keyboard and mouse. This setup provides a notable edge in competitive gameplay, particularly when auto-targeting is enabled.
NetEase elaborated on their stance, stating, "We define adapters as devices or programs that emulate gamepad control using a keyboard and mouse. This creates an imbalance in the game, especially in competitive modes."
To combat this issue, NetEase has deployed sophisticated tools designed to detect adapter usage with high precision. Upon detection of such violations, the offending accounts are promptly blocked.
In other news related to Marvel Rivals, players have noticed a correlation between higher FPS settings and increased ping. While this may not be significantly disruptive for those with low ping, a jump to 150 ms can severely impact gameplay, especially if your usual ping hovers around 90 ms.
This issue appears to be linked to frame rate settings. As a temporary solution, gamers are advised to await an official patch that could address this problem. In the meantime, finding the optimal balance between FPS and ping is crucial. Some players suggest maintaining an FPS around 90, a recommendation that might seem unusual to fans of games like Counter-Strike 2 but is currently advised for Marvel Rivals.
