The "Igniting the Timestream" error in Marvel Rivals is a frustrating matchmaking issue. Instead of launching into a game, you're stuck staring at a pop-up message. Here's how to address this problem:
Verify Server Status: Before troubleshooting your end, check the official Marvel Rivals social media channels (like X) or a service like Downdetector. Server outages 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 the error disappears.
Check Your Internet Connection: Marvel Rivals requires a stable internet connection. A weak or interrupted connection can prevent matchmaking. Try restarting your modem or router to refresh your network.
Take a Break: If the error persists despite the above steps, a temporary break might be necessary. Server issues may require developer intervention. Check back later to see if the problem has been resolved.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
