Summary
Capcom’s first Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 PC patch in years has stopped Jean Grey’s Dark Phoenix transformation from triggering, causing the character to die instead of entering her powered-up form.
The update was meant to verify Windows 11 compatibility and deliver miscellaneous bug fixes, but players say other longstanding issues remain, including Frank West’s zombie plunger bug.
Capcom also removed the community-embraced “Kubota escape” exploit and appears to have broken many mods built since the game’s last major update cycle.
Steam patch notes were the first substantive ones for the game since 2017, and players are now waiting for Capcom to issue a hotfix or explain the changes.
