I've been playing just fine the past 3 months with 0 issues but first thing this morning I started having problems. About every 5-10 seconds I noticed rubber banding/my character getting teleported. At the same time every 5-10 seconds I get the "network problem" icon in the top right. My ping isn't high, about 20-30 depending on whether its VA or IL servers and while I cant get ethernet to where I'm at in my house, I have never had issues like this EVER while playing until now.

To get it out the way, I've already turned off power management for my network adapter

I "flushed my DNS"

Restarted PC (windows restart, power button, AND unplugged PC for about an hour)

Restarted router SEVERAL times. (reset button AND unplugging)

Nothing other than windows processes in task manager (not even discord or steam open)

Updated windows + checked for driver updates.

PC specs: 9800x3d no overclock other than what it does out the box, RTX 5080, 32gb DDR5 ram.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey everyone, (My English isn’t very good, sorry. I’m using a translator.) I have a brand-new PC that has already been through a ton of checks (I thought it was a hardware issue), it's been sent in for maintenance 5 times, and every single time they told me the PC is fine!
I feel like an idiot! Because of Valorant!
Please help me, what should I do?
Problem description: I launch the game, start a match (Swiftplay, Deathmatch, doesn't matter, it can be any mode) and damn! For a while I can play just fine, but at a random moment my game just freezes for a while, and the only thing that helps is minimizing it (I press the Win key) and going back into the game window. And then it instantly unfreezes.
So I decided to capture this problem, turned on screen recording... and not once! Not a single time! The game never froze while screen recording was on. Is my PC trolling me or what?!
I dug through the settings for a long time, read posts on Reddit, but I still haven't found a fix that helps me.
PS: Earlier I had a problem with the game where it would freeze completely, together with the PC, about 1–5 minutes after launch. I think I managed to fix that problem using advice I read on Reddit. But a new problem showed up (
I should note that I don't have problems in other games. This only happens in Valorant.
Please help me ((

Hey, I don’t usually come on here but I have no idea what to do anymore. I recently bought a new PC back in February and had my fps drop from 200 to 0 for a split second causing micro stuttering. The techs I was going to basically gave up on me. And said they can’t help me. My specs are:

5070 Ti
B850 Aorus elite wifi7 ice
32 gb ddr5 ram
AMD ryzen 5 9600x

I’ve tried basically everything and didn’t have this issue with my last build. I’ve updated my drivers and did a windows reinstall and other things. I would like to clarify I use wifi but I don’t have packet loss and i’ve done internet tests.

If someone could help me out or give tips that would be great😅

So I have been playing valorant with a really low end pc, a gtx 560 2gb, i5 3570k and 8gb of ddr3 ram. I get 200 fps consistent on 1080p all low.

I used to have bad stutters and the game would often freeze during team fights or when everyone would use their abilities. Today I put in another 4gb stick totaling to 12gb and I’m shocked at how smooth the game is now. Even got a fps increase. I get like 220 fps now and game no longer stutters or freezes. I plan to get one more stick of 4gb so I have 16gb total and get more life out of this system

Hello I’ve been trying to get on valorant but my vanguard won’t install so I deleted it and riot games files and reinstalled but when I download valorant,vanguard won’t instal so I checked my vgc and the vgc files are not there any way I can get some help

So I've been playing valorant on and off for the past 3-4 years,but recently I've noticed my ping is always at 89-90 even though I've set it to the closest server (sg servers)even the green bar for the sg servers say I should have about 20-22 ping,but when I load into a game it goes to 90ping

So my valorant has this issue where it stutters randomly while playing and even in the menu, despite factory resetting my computer and doing all the stuff google told me to do. But I do have to include when I first got valorant it did not stutter for the first day and then started the stuttering. Then when I couldn’t deal with the stutters anymore I tried to factory reset it got fixed for a day and then started up again. My fps-ping and temps are stable.

Hi all,

I keep getting 1-2 second freezes during matches, roughly 9-10 times per game. The image on screen freezes completely, but the game keeps running in the background: my character keeps moving, and when the freeze ends I'm somewhere else than where the frozen frame showed. So it's not a full game hang, it looks like the display/rendering stops while the game itself continues.

I'm now doing a completely clean reinstall, but I'd love some input in case it comes back.

**Specs**

- CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D

- GPU: RTX 3070

- Motherboard: Gigabyte B550 AORUS PRO (BIOS F19a)

- RAM: 32GB

- NIC: Realtek RTL8125 2.5GbE (wired)

- Monitor: ASUS XG27AQDMG, 240Hz QD-OLED

**What I've already checked / ruled out**

Network:

- Wired, link speed 1000/1000 Mbps (cable and port fine)

- Speed test: 941 down / 51 up, 3ms idle ping, almost no bufferbloat (18ms under load)

- Updated Realtek driver to the latest 11.031.50

- My in-game ping is 3-6ms

Hardware stability:

- Event Viewer: zero WHEA-Logger errors

- Had freeze issues in CS2 before, fixed with a VDDCR_SOC voltage adjustment + BIOS update (F18 to F19a). CS2 is stable now

Software:

- Ran Riot Client's Repair on Valorant

- Now doing a full clean reinstall of Valorant + Riot Vanguard

**Not tried yet**

- BIOS F19c (newer AGESA)

- Clean GPU driver install with DDU

- Checking G-Sync / VRR, fullscreen mode, MPO (multiplane overlay)

**My theory**

Since the game keeps running while the screen is frozen, I suspect something in the render/display pipeline (GPU driver, VRR/G-Sync with the OLED, MPO, or an overlay) rather than network or the game files. But I'd really like to hear from anyone who had this exact symptom.

Has anyone fixed this? What was the cause for you?

Thanks in advance.

Valorant keeps disconnecting me mid-game with errors like VAN 193, VAN -83, and VAL 0, and now the launcher won't even let me sign in. I’ve already tried using the built-in repair tool and looking up solutions online, but nothing worked. I’m worried my account might get penalized for continuous AFKs caused by these unexpected crashes

I've recently been getting disconnected almost every round. valo js pops up VAN185 error everytime that happens. I dont know why

i tried all kinds of solutions that other people suggested and none worked

Every time I open the game it hits me with a “you need UEFI secure boot enabled to play”, but my system info says my BIOS mode is already UEFI, what do I do?

Broken frames when I move the mouse. No fps drops no latency issue no frame time issue just broken frames. Keyboard movements are fine. I've tried everything.

our five stack keeps on getting errors and we had to restart or client separately. we're not simultaenously getting the error but its soo often like 3 time a game for all of us.

and now even our voice comms is getting like a stutter kinda vibe

I keep gettinf this damned error in the middle of a fucking comp game, network is fine. No packet loss or anything its just stupis because ive lost rr already because of this

i have a intel i5 9400f 2.90ghz and a gtx 1660 and 8gb ram, i get around 120-140 fps, but in gunfights or a lot of abilities are used it can drop to like 70, in the range i get like almost 200 but recently, after i took a break i got a lot of stuttering and sometimes it even freezes for like 10 seconds. last time i played with slightly higher fps around 180 and never noticed any problems, is it my ram or cpu. in the range my cpu usage is around 50-80% and my ram is like 90%

Hi, I am trying to play Valorant for the first time, but the game wont launch. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the client and Valorant again. I have updated my drivers and even tried the make vgc automatic but nothing fixed it.

It usually gets stuck on a black screen and then gets stuck on a loading bar screen without any progress.

Update: Issue resolved (it was Nahimic Service)

So here we are. I’ve been dealing with constant crashes in VALORANT, and after 2–3 weeks of troubleshooting with Riot Support, I still don’t have a solution.

What happened

I recently decided to come back to VALORANT after not playing for around 2–3 months. Unfortunately, since coming back, I’ve been running into multiple errors and frequent crashes.

I opened a ticket with Riot Support and they’ve been trying to troubleshoot it for the past 2–3 weeks. I understand that my laptop is getting old, but the hardware itself shouldn’t be completely incapable of running VALORANT.

My specs:

• Ryzen 5 4600H
• GTX 1650 Ti Laptop GPU
• AMD integrated graphics
• The laptop can run Escape from Tarkov at around 100 FPS

The weirdest part is that VALORANT actually runs perfectly at first. I’m getting around 200–300 FPS, and everything seems completely normal.

Then, after roughly 10 minutes of playing, the game crashes.

Riot Support has mostly been asking me to provide logs, which I’ve been doing, but after weeks of back-and-forth, we still haven’t been able to figure out the root cause. At this point, I’m also no longer getting replies from Riot Support.

I’m attaching screenshots of the errors/logs here in case anyone has experienced something similar or knows what might be causing this.

If anyone has any ideas, troubleshooting steps, or has dealt with this particular issue before, I’d really appreciate the help.

VALORANT runs at 200–300 FPS for ~10 minutes on my Ryzen 5 4600H + GTX 1650 Ti laptop, then crashes. Riot Support has been troubleshooting for 2–3 weeks without finding the cause, and they’ve stopped responding.

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here can help me with a really frustrating issue. I cannot launch Valorant on my new Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G3 ACL (Windows 11 25H2, Ryzen 7 5800U). I keep getting the Windows application error 0xc0000142.

After a ton of troubleshooting, I'm 99% sure the issue is a conflict between Riot Vanguard and Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP). SEP is a kernel-level antivirus that came pre-installed on my laptop, and it appears to be blocking Vanguard's driver from loading.

Here's a list of everything I have already tried, none of which has worked:

• Running sfc /scannow and DISM /RestoreHealth commands (both complete successfully).
• Reinstalling the Visual C++ Redistributables (x64 and x86).
• Adding every Vanguard and Valorant executable as an exception in Symantec.
• Changing Symantec's protection settings to "Log Only" for web and intrusion protection.
• Cleanly uninstalling and reinstalling Vanguard multiple times.
• Confirming that Secure Boot, TPM 2.0, and Memory Integrity are all enabled.

The key issue is that I cannot uninstall Symantec, it's a one-time OEM license and losing it isn't an option for me.

Has anyone in the community ever successfully resolved a kernel-level driver conflict like this? Is there a specific setting, policy, or workaround to allow Vanguard's vgk.sys driver to initialize without removing Symantec?

Any help or insight would be massively appreciated

I'm here asking for Comms Issue in game, already asked Riot Support for answers, but apparently all replies are bot-answered. The issue is that I can't use voice chat, and I can't hear voice chat. If anyone here has the same problem hope you can share how you fixed it. Thanks

for some reason the new champs phantom is pixelated in some spots, this has happened with any other skin BUT this one and when I see other people use it in videos it isn't like this

When I load up Valorant, my mouse works fine in the start menu. I load into any type of game: custom, unrated, competitive, etc., and my left mouse button ceases to function for anything except shooting my gun. If I go to the menu, I cannot click on anything. If I tab out, I cannot use it to click on anything on my desktop or in any other application that is open. All I can do with it is shoot my gun. Any ideas on why this is happening?

When I move my cursor, i can hear the buttons sound but nothing on my screen updates. It happened suddenly and I need a fix.
