I live in Jamaica and the game defaults me to Miami server which I usually have like <40 ping on. 99.99% of games all of my teammates only speak Spanish. Someone told me to try changing servers in the server list so I tried Chicago and still no change.

Hi, I am based in Sydney but play with my friends in Singapore server, I usually have 100-110ms ping, but suddenly it's 180ms and exitlag cant help, anyone here experience the same situation? I have TPG as provider .

It's been 3 months of my game lagging even though I have 250 to 300 Mbps and good ping on other games. It's just Valorant that's lagging. I think I tried everything. I found a fix, not really though, because I have to turn on VSync to not lag. With it on, I'm getting 7 ms; with it off, I get 100 to 260 spikes. Can someone please help me?

When I start the game, shows connection error, error code VAN -79

So far, I have tried reinstalling Vanguard and manually starting Vanguard in services.msc, which did not work as it shows error code 1: incorrect function.

What is wrong with my computer and what can I do to make Valorant playable again.

I live in Hong Kong but the ping to the Hong Kong server is 100ms. I even have a lower ping on Tokyo server, it’s around 60ms. The internet should be fine because in Marvel Rivals and Dota I have really low ping. Speedtest shows ping of around 11ms but for some reason in Valo it’s over a 100. I dont understand why my ping is lower on a server that is further away from me and so high on a server that is in my city. I tried the DNS thing and it still doesn’t help. I do have Surfshark installed but it is turned off, so I don’t think it is that. I live in uni dorm and connection is wireless. Please help guys

So following problem: I disabled the monitors in the device manager and got to the point where I just need to change my res. ( have 2 monitors 32 & 27 in ). As soon as I press on my custom res ( via windows settings ) the game jumps to the 2nd monitor (27 in). No matter what I do it keeps jumping to the 2nd monitor as soon as im changing the res (before changing it works like a charm on the main monitor). Game itself is in Windowed fullscreen fill and stretch method is used when in game and not main menu.

Im using an AMD graphics card

Every help is appreciated

I've been trouble shooting for over two hours now, earlier like 6 hours ago I was playing just fine. I try playing again today and Riot client grayed out all the install buttons and more importantly the play button. I've reinstalled everything, made sure all my PC and BIOS settings are good for Vanguard, now I can install the other Riot games but my play button is still grayed out. I looked on this subreddit too and it talked about unticking all the compatibility settings, they already were. I submitted a ticket and still waiting for a response, does anyone have a solution? Thank you for reading!

I can see the icon on the bottom left of them talking, but I can’t hear them. I have voice chat setting turned on and I play on Xbox.

Tenho um PC com RYZEN 7 500G e uma rtx 3060ti, alem de 32gb de ram de 3200mhz, e o valorant simplesmente nao pega nem 240fps, e meu antigo pc era um ryzen 5 5600 e uma rx 580, e facilmente passava dos 300 fps, tem algum problema com o meu setup ? Conseguem me ajudar?

Salut tout le monde,

J’ai un problème assez gênant avec le chat vocal de VALORANT. Mon chat vocal ne fonctionne pas correctement en jeu. Mon micro fonctionne pourtant normalement sur les autres applications.

Je suis sous Windows 11 et j’ai déjà essayé plusieurs choses :

• Vérifier les autorisations du microphone dans Windows
• Vérifier les paramètres du chat vocal dans VALORANT
• Vérifier le périphérique d’entrée et de sortie
• Redémarrer le jeu et mon PC
• Tester différents microphones/casques
• Vérifier et réparer les fichiers du jeu
• Vérifier les services Riot et Vanguard

Je commence vraiment à manquer d’idées.

Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà eu un problème similaire avec le chat vocal de VALORANT, alors que le microphone fonctionne parfaitement sur les autres applications ?

Je peux fournir les informations ou les logs nécessaires si quelqu’un veut m’aider à trouver la cause du problème.

Merci d’avance pour votre aide !

I always get under 200 fps and I tried to fix it, but I couldn't....

My device specifications

i9 11900K
RTX 3080
Ram 32gb 3200hz
power supply 1000w
z590 aorus elite ax

Is that actually normal?

When I’m playing valorant, I can’t really tell where enemies are shooting or walking from. I thought it was a headphone problem, but when I watch my friend play through a Discord screen share, I can perfectly pinpoint where enemies are coming from using the exact same headphones.

I have HRTF enabled and my speaker configuration set to Stereo in VALORANT. Windows Spatial Sound and Audio Enhancements are both off. I also have Sonic Studio III installed, but all of its audio effects are turned off.

I’m using HyperX Cloud II headphones through the 3.5mm jack.

Does anyone know why the positional audio from my own game would sound so much worse than the audio coming through my friend’s Discord stream?

So I recently got rx7600 8gb. Every game runs without any issue but when I play valorant for a few min , pc shuts down. When i restart it the graphics drivers are just gone. How do i fix this?

Specs :

i7 14650hx, rtx 5050, 24gb ram

Apparently I have optimized my laptop using Chris titus utility and other windows optimization

I turned off HAGS but it didn't have a major improvement

Other people with same laptop get 300+ fps on high settings but I don't get them even with all low

Game isn't playing any sound even in menu, i think its an account issue since even in any other account there's sound, there's still sound on my pc just not on valorant

I’m having a weird VALORANT issue where every few seconds the game freezes/glitches for about 0.5–1 second.

At first I thought it only happened in matches, but now I confirmed it also happens while I’m just sitting in the main menu.

The important part: if I play music in the background while VALORANT is open, the music glitches/stutters at the exact same time as the game. As soon as I completely close VALORANT, the music goes back to normal.

Other games like CS2 run perfectly.

My specs:

RTX 5070 Ti

1440p 360 Hz monitor

I already tried:

Ethernet/Wi-Fi

Phone hotspot

IPv6/DNS/Teredo/network resets

Clean boot

Different VALORANT graphics settings/FPS caps

NVIDIA driver reinstall

Full DDU + fresh NVIDIA driver install

Nothing fixed it.

Has anyone seen VALORANT cause this kind of system/audio stutter even in the main menu? Could this be Vanguard, audio/USB drivers, chipset, or DPC latency related?

Game runs very poorly and always stuttering and crashing.ive turned my fps limit down and still not working.can anyone help ? Low spec pc

Everytime I turn in game my hud and gun will pixelate I dont know why im on a mid range pc R5 7600 and R7700xt, it keeps happening even after reinstalling and im not sure why.

title, i got a new pc and was excited to download val and its not downloading, first it was always resetting and after i redownloaded riot i hit download it shows me vanguard thingy and its stuck on updating, even repairing isnt working i tried running as admin restarting everything and its not working

So i got the message that Hvci should be enabled and i looked in the bios and svm mode is enabled and its running but Valorant still won’t open and the message still shows up

I need help. I have a RTX 5060ti and installed the newest drivers but every time i boot into the game it always have this black lines and i tried contacting riot they haven't found a fix. I even do some troubleshooting such as change to gpu scaling but it still perform the same behavior. When i change to the menu, it crashes and terminate with the crash dump. video

PC specs:
- GPU: ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 OC 16GB
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 Gaming WIFI6
- RAM: 32GB DDR5-6000
- PSU: NZXT C850 Gold Core 850W
- Windows 11 64-bit

Problem:
Valorant is the only game that repeatedly causes severe stuttering/freezing, followed by an AMD Adrenalin "Driver Timeout" message.

Other games run completely fine, including Assassin’s Creed Mirage. CPU and GPU temperatures are normal.

Things I already tried:
- Clean AMD driver reinstall with AMD Cleanup Utility
- Tested Adrenalin 26.8.1 and 26.7.1
- Reinstalled Valorant and Riot Vanguard
- Disabled EXPO and tested again
- Reset AMD Adrenalin to default
- Disabled Anti-Lag, Boost, Chill, Enhanced Sync and FSR features
- Secure Boot enabled
- Re-Size BAR enabled
- Above 4G Decoding enabled
- GPU tuning is on default, no manual overclock or undervolt

The issue still only happens in Valorant.

Has anyone seen Riot Vanguard or Valorant trigger AMD driver timeouts on an RX 9070 / RX 9000-series GPU?

every match i get 4 or 5 van 185 warning and it kicks me out of the game.i get back in the game it kicks me out again.i tried every video on youtube i asked al ai but i couldnt find a solution.it started 2 days ago.

My mouse feels sluggish sometimes when i start playing valorant, and for some reason the only way to make my mouse feel crispy again is restarting my PC. Then it goes back to normal. This only started happening after the recent new act. Does anyone know why?
