Marvel Rivals Maps White or Oddly Colored on Season 11? How to Fix It
After Marvel Rivals Season 11 arrived on November 13, 2026, players using a RIVALSFPS.GG Quality preset saw maps turn white, washed out or oddly colored. RIVALSFPS.GG 5.5.1 fixes it by turning graphic packs and Quality presets off until a game update allows them again.
Why the maps changed color
A Quality preset lowers texture detail through the NVIDIA driver. On its own, that also blows out the light the maps get from the sky, so RIVALSFPS.GG always put a small map layer, Map Compatibility, beside a preset to keep the lighting right.
Season 11 added a check that removes mods like that layer when you reach the lobby, before any match map loads. The preset still applied, the layer didn't, and the maps came out white or oddly colored. Graphic packs and the Graphics tab's map edits are removed by the same check, so they do nothing on Season 11 either.
How to fix it
- Update RIVALSFPS.GG to 5.5.1 or later. By default it installs the update the next time the app starts, and the titlebar then reads Up to date.
- That's it for most players: the update turns graphic packs and Quality presets off by itself, and the Graphics and Quality tabs say Blocked by Season 11. Launch the game and the maps look normal.
- If the Graphics tab adds "One is still switched on and may crash the game.", close the game and press Turn off graphic packs in the same note. Allow the Windows permission prompt if it appears.
Your preset, your graphic pack and your Graphics settings stay saved. If a game update allows them again, they come back without you setting anything up.
Getting FPS back in the meantime
Lower Render Resolution on the Quality tab still works, on any graphics card: it renders the game smaller and scales it back up, and it's the biggest FPS gain the app has. It needs DLSS, FSR, XeSS or TSR picked in the game's own settings, not TAAU. How to set it up is in Marvel Rivals lower render resolution.
Why not keep the packs on another way?
We tested it on Season 11: every version of the map layer was removed at the lobby, and keeping it would mean hiding it from the game's check. We won't do that, because it puts your account at risk. When the game allows these again, the app turns them back on.
Common questions
Why are my Marvel Rivals maps white or oddly colored?
A Quality preset was on without the map layer that keeps the lighting right. Season 11 removes that layer when you reach the lobby, so the preset blew the colors out.
How do I fix it?
Update RIVALSFPS.GG to 5.5.1 or later. It turns graphic packs and Quality presets off by itself, and the maps look normal on your next launch.
The Graphics tab says a pack is still switched on. What do I do?
Close the game and press Turn off graphic packs in the Blocked by Season 11 note on the Graphics tab. If Windows asks for permission, allow it: your game folder needs administrator rights to change.
Can I still get more FPS?
Yes. Lower Render Resolution on the Quality tab still works on any graphics card, and so do the in-game settings.
Will graphic packs and presets come back?
Your choices are saved, so they can come back without you setting them up again if a game update allows them. There's no date for that.
