Arc System Works Apologizes for PC Stutters in Marvel Tokon

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is now in open beta on both PS5 and PC, but PC players are reporting widespread performance problems—stuttering, lag, and other issues—even on high-end systems—prompting an official apology from Arc System Works.

Open beta launches on PS5 and PC, with PC complaints piling up

July 24 marks the start of the open beta for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls on PS5 and PC.
PS5 players are reporting access to multiple playable characters, new modes, and the standard Arc System Works online lobby.
PC players, however, say they’re experiencing major technical problems since launch, including performance drops, stuttering, and lag.
Some reports go further, claiming that the issues are severe enough to prevent players from changing settings.
Not every PC player appears affected—some say they aren’t seeing problems—but complaints are described as coming from a large portion of the community.

What players think might be causing the PC issues

While the exact reason for the PC performance troubles hasn’t been confirmed, one theory raised by a Twitter user (WistfulHopes) claims the beta is “super locked down” and “hyper hostile” to non-standard setups, potentially to reduce datamining. That explanation hasn’t been verified, but it aligns with concerns that the current build may be more restrictive than typical open betas.

Arc System Works acknowledges the problem and apologizes

Arc System Works has publicly responded to the PC situation. The game’s official Twitter account says it is aware of the issues affecting the PC version, is actively investigating them, and has offered a sincere apology to players experiencing the problems.

Alongside the apology, the account also shared multiple troubleshooting steps aimed at helping PC players with specific issues. While the effectiveness of those steps isn’t confirmed, the inclusion of targeted guidance suggests the problems are not being dismissed as something that would only affect the beta phase.
