Hi there Player,

Thanks for writing in, GrumpyCinder at your service!  ♡( ◡‿◡ )

Thanks for reaching out to us with your inquiry. I understand how frustrating it can be to want to login to VALORANT to play a few games only to be met with an error?. I will do what I can to help resolve your issue. You may skip any steps you have already taken.

Here are some basic connection troubleshooting step you can try :-

1. Use wired internet (connect the LAN wire from router)

2. Make sure that as few devices as possible are connected to your home network. Having multiple devices connected to the same source will use up most of the bandwidth of your network.

3. Perform a TCP/IP reset, DNS flush and port forward.

1) Open Start Menu
2) Type cmd and run it with administrator permissions
3) Type the following commands (press enter after each one):
- netsh int ip reset
- ipconfig /release (this command removes the current IP configuration)
- ipconfig /renew (this command requests your DHCP client to reset an IP address)
- ipconfig /flushdns (use this Netsh command to clear corrupted or incorrect DNS cache)
- netsh winsock reset (this command line resets Winsock settings and recovers your computer from any socket errors. Winsock contains your computer Internet connectivity configuration)

Note: These steps will only take effect after restarting the PC.

4. Configure Network settings

Power Cycle, In the meantime, I also wanna recommend switching from a private DNS to Google's public DNS. This will let VALORANT choose the smoothest and most efficient connection route possible.
After you've changed your DNS, don't forget to flush it afterwards! Restart your computer after you're done to finalize the changes.

5. Clean Boot (MSConfig)
It could be that other programs are interfering with VALORANT. To eliminate the possibility of that happening, let's turn off your unnecessary start-up processes.

• Press [Windows Key] + R
• Type msconfig into the text bar at the bottom of the menu
• Click on the Services tab
• Check Hide all Microsoft services <--- Super important! Protects you from accidentally disabling a key process!
• Click the Disable All button
• Find vgc and re-check that one. This is required for VALORANT
• Click on the Startup tab (Note: Windows 10 has you go to a Task Manager Tab, which has no disable all button. Disable the ones you see there manually)
• Click on the Disable All button
• Click on the Apply button
• Click on the OK button
• Restart your computer
• Possibly clean boot to make sure nothing that can interfere with Vanguard is running

6. Whitelist VALORANT, Riot Client & Vanguard in Firewall & Antivirus

Go with a whitelist of both VALORANT, Riot Client and Riot Vanguard on your antivirus & firewall.
These are the filepaths you need to add:

• C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\VALORANT.exe
• C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\vgc.exe
• C:\Riot Games\Riot Client\RiotClientServices.exe

7. Let's make sure you have Windows "Data Execution Protection" (DEP) turned on, since the Connection Error can occur if it's off.

• Press ("Windows") key on your keyboard.
• Type cmd into the text field
• Right-click on "Command Prompt" and click "Run as administrator".
• Paste the following command and then press the Enter key: bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOn
• Close Command Prompt
• Next, open "Settings".
• Open "System", then choose "About" from the left side panel.
• Click the link on the About page that says "System info".
• Click the "Advanced system settings" link.
• Click the "Advanced" tab.
• Click the "Settings" button under "Performance".
• Click the "Data Execution Prevention" tab.
• Select the radio button that says "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select".
• Don't add any program exceptions.
• Click the "Apply" button.
• Restart your computer.

8. Unicode Settings

• Open Control Panel
• Click on “Change date, time, number formats”
• Then go to “Administrative”
• Click on “Change System Locale”
• Then change Current system locale to ENG
or Check the box to use Use Unicode UTF-8 (both solutions work)
• Reboot PC

9. Set Network Buffering to Minimum in Game Setting under General Options

I hope these instructions help you solve your issue and if it doesn't, feel free to reach out to me again.?

Cheers! ?
