Players seeking to improve the performance of Marvel Tōkon on PC are experimenting with an unusual method that involves launching and leaving the Epic Games Store open before starting the game. However, the effectiveness of this workaround is a subject of debate among the player base, with many reporting mixed or negligible results.
The peculiar suggestion, which has circulated on platforms like Reddit and X, posits that having the Epic Games Store running in the background can positively impact Marvel Tōkon's performance. This notion is met with skepticism due to the apparent lack of a logical connection between the Epic Games Store and the performance of a game launched separately.
Despite the unusual nature of the fix, several users have claimed that it has resolved some or all of their performance issues. One user shared their experience, stating, "this shit actually works i’m crying," accompanied by a screenshot. Another user noted seeing minor FPS improvements and a reduction in CPU load, though they expressed uncertainty about whether the Epic Games Store itself was responsible for these changes, attributing them potentially to other factors like repeated game launches during testing.
Conversely, a significant number of players have reported that opening the Epic Games Store before launching Marvel Tōkon made no difference to their gaming experience. These users suggest that those reporting improvements might be experiencing a placebo effect or misattributing positive outcomes to the workaround.
The widespread performance issues have led to frustration among PC players, who are resorting to unconfirmed and unconventional solutions in an attempt to make the game run more smoothly. The situation highlights concerns about the state of Marvel Tōkon's PC port at launch, especially given that performance complaints were reportedly present during the beta phase and have yet to be adequately addressed.
