Marvel Rivals players have been hit with a frustrating issue: Error Code 2103: Operation Frequency Too High. This error prevents players from logging in, queuing for matches, or even staying connected to ongoing games. The issue has affected servers across North America, Europe, and Asia, sparking widespread complaints from the gaming community.
Players Report Widespread Server Outages
The issue gained traction after numerous players flocked to Reddit and social media to report their experiences. Many confirmed that the 2103 error appeared when trying to enter a match, sometimes resulting in long queue times or outright disconnections.
A Reddit user, u/ZerefDragneelx, commented:
“I’m having this too, dunno what caused it.”
Another user, u/MeatloafAndWaffles, added:
“I’m getting it a lot too right now. Seems like server issues.”
The problem isn’t limited to PC players. Users on PS5 and Xbox Series X also reported the same error, making it clear that this is a server-wide issue rather than a platform-specific bug.
NetEase Acknowledges the Issue
Following the flood of reports, NetEase officially responded via the Marvel Rivals Discord:
“We’ve noticed some unusual server issues and are currently looking into them as a top priority. Thanks for your understanding, and we’ll keep you posted with any updates!”
While this confirms that NetEase is actively working on a fix, no timeline has been provided for when the issue will be fully resolved.
Some players speculated that Overwatch 2 players might be launching DDoS attacks on Marvel Rivals servers, a theory that sparked debate. One Reddit user, u/eman85, suggested:
“OW2 players DDOSing the servers probably.”
However, there is no official confirmation that an attack caused the outage. The more likely explanation is server overload due to high player traffic.
Temporary Fixes & Workarounds
While waiting for an official fix, players have tried various workarounds with mixed success. Here are some that may work:
- Restart the Game – Some players managed to reconnect after restarting multiple times.
- Retry Logging In – Clicking the “Start Match” button repeatedly may eventually work.
- Change Server Region – Some users reported success after switching to different servers (e.g., Warsaw or Frankfurt).
- Wait for Updates – The error is server-related, meaning NetEase will likely fix it soon.
Is Marvel Rivals Stable Before Launch?
Marvel Rivals has gained huge popularity, but early server issues raise concerns about its long-term stability. Players fear that similar problems may occur at launch if server capacity isn’t improved.
For now, the best course of action is to monitor official NetEase channels and wait for an update. Hopefully, a server patch will be deployed soon, allowing players to return to the game without further interruptions.
