How To Fix Marvel Rivals Gala Star Vote Not Working?

The Hellfire Gala event in Marvel Rivals has two distinct problems for players: unlocking Act 3 and actually casting a vote once they get access. While many struggle to reach the voting stage, a smaller group still can’t press the Marvel Rivals Gala Star “Vote” button even after unlocking Act 3. Here’s a breakdown of both issues and how you may fix them.

How to Fix Marvel Rivals Gala Star Vote Not Working

1. Unlocking Act 3: The First Barrier

To access the Gala Star Vote, players must fully complete all Act 2 missions and collect all four Hellfire Gifts. The event interface, however, shows “4/4” for gifts claimed, which can be misleading-this count tracks only gift draws, not mission progress. Missing even one mission or its reward will keep Act 3 locked, leaving the voting screen hidden.

Key tip here is to check your mission log instead of relying solely on the gift counter.

2. Casting Votes: When Act 3 Isn’t Enough

For those who do unlock Act 3, a second issue can appear: the inability to cast votes. This usually happens for one of three reasons:

Insufficient Voting Tokens: Voting requires special tokens converted from X-Coins in the vote interface. If you haven’t exchanged X-Coins for tokens, the “Vote” button remain greyed out.
UI Glitches: Even with tokens in hand, voting screen sometimes freezes, ignores taps, or fail to register button presses.
Server or Regional Delays: This is unlikely, but high server load, maintenance windows, or staggered regional rollouts can trigger connection errors or block voting from some regions. Simply checking in at a later time will solve this.

3. Community-Proven Workarounds

Players have found several ways to bypass or resolve the voting failures, and it seems to be working for some.

Pre-Convert Tokens: Before you go into Act 3, you tap the “+” icon beneath a hero portrait to trade X-Coins for Voting Tokens.
Restart and Clear Cache: You exit the game completely, clear whatever cache is there, or reboot your device. That sometimes flushes out stale UI data that was blocking the vote button.
Re-Login or Reinstall: Signing out and then signing back in, or even reinstalling the app, sometimes corrects more deep-seated data sync issues.

4. Official Notes & Future Patches

In the last patch (v20250422 on April 24, 2025), the developers haven’t really said anything about voting-specific bugs or token conversion problems. Their notes just repeat the usual mission and gift requirements for Act 3, yet they never bring up UI freezes or any server-side voting errors.

It’s easy to forget, but don’t rely only on those gift counters. You really need to check each Act 2 mission yourself. And be sure to stock up tokens early-convert your X-Coins before the vote window opens. Also, make certain you’ve finished all event tasks and collected every reward before Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 kicks in with Ultron as the new character.
