Can't join or rejoin a Marvel Rivals match

Antivirus or firewall blocks the game

Crashes at launch, failing to enter a match after loading, or not being able to rejoin after a disconnect can come from antivirus or firewall software misreading the game.

Is Marvel Rivals down right now? Operational: 11 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this problem could come from there; right now it looks normal.
