Troubleshooting the "Igniting the Timestream" Error in Marvel Rivals
Many players of Marvel Rivals encounter frustrating errors that interrupt gameplay. This guide focuses on resolving the "Igniting the Timestream" error, which typically occurs during matchmaking.
Understanding the Error
Unlike errors preventing game launch, the "Igniting the Timestream" message appears after initiating a match, leaving players stuck indefinitely. However, several solutions can often resolve this issue.
Solutions
-
Verify Server Status: Check the game's official social media channels (X, etc.) or websites like Downdetector for reported server outages. Server issues are a common cause of this error.
-
Restart the Game: A simple restart can sometimes clear temporary glitches causing the error. Close Marvel Rivals completely and relaunch it to attempt matchmaking again.
-
Check Your Internet Connection: Marvel Rivals requires a stable internet connection. A weak or unstable connection can prevent matchmaking. Try restarting your modem or router to improve your connection.
-
Take a Break: If the problem persists, consider taking a break. Server-side issues may require developer intervention, and waiting for a fix is often the best course of action. Check back periodically for updates.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
