Troubleshooting the "Igniting the Timestream" Error in Marvel Rivals
The "Igniting the Timestream" error in Marvel Rivals is a frustrating matchmaking issue. Instead of joining a game, you're stuck staring at a pop-up message. Here's how to resolve it:
Solutions for the "Igniting the Timestream" Error
-
Verify Server Status: Check the game's official social media (X, formerly Twitter) or a site like Downdetector for reports of server outages. Server problems are a common cause of this error.
-
Restart the Game: A simple game restart often resolves temporary glitches. Close Marvel Rivals completely and relaunch it to see if this clears the error.
-
Check Your Internet Connection: Marvel Rivals requires a stable internet connection. A weak or intermittent connection can prevent matchmaking. Try restarting your modem or router.
-
Take a Break: If the problem persists despite the above steps, it's best to wait. The issue might be on the game's side, and a temporary break allows developers time to address server-side problems.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
