　　Now Playing: Marvel’s Avengers - Official Beta Trailer

　　Marvel's Avengers is expanding its beta to more platforms and players this weekend, and a new patch addresses some of the feedback that has come from the first round. Crystal Dynamics also gave an idea of issues it's aware of and others that it is currently working on.

　　According the official patch notes, the 1.3.0 patch addresses several matchmaking issues and crashes, and fixes some bugs revolving around particular heroes. It also notes that for Xbox One players, you may run into issues if your NAT type is on a higher setting.

　　The studio is working on reducing screen shake and fixing a bug that would spawn multiple heroes. In its Known Issues subsection, Crystal Dynamics suggests workarounds if you're having trouble with accessing content beyond the Golden Gate Bridge, how to use Black Widow and Iron Man's gear, and more. It's also currently investigating internet connection errors and will keep players updated via Twitter.

　　Last weekend the beta was exclusive to PS4 players who had pre-ordered. The early access is one of PlayStation-exclusive perks including the eventual addition of Spider-Man. This weekend it will expand to all PS4 players, while also going live for PC and Xbox One pre-orders. A full open beta across all platforms will follow next week. In a tweet, the official game account also acknowledged that the high volume of beta registrations is leading to delays. If you plan to play on PC, check out the recommended PC specs.

　　We’re currently experiencing a high volume of Square Enix Members account registrations and delays in confirmation emails going out. We are actively working on addressing this.
