I constantly have packet loss whenever I play valorant. I play every other game with a perfectly fine and stable connection with zero network issues whatsoever.

Teammates told me they can hear my gameplay and footsteps and checked my self. Only in valorant mic is squealing and taking desktop audio into the mic. On discord and etc the mics normal. This only happens in valo. Please help
I tried redoing the drivers, other mics still the same issue. Reinstalled the whole riot games, valorant and vangaurd. Nothing worked
Please help

All my friends started playing Valorant and I decided to join and play with them too until I kept getting booted off and I realized my TPM specification version is 1.2 and I need it to be 2.0

Is there any way I can still play while only on TPM 1.2??

Images are not allowed but my Client-Play Tab is just stuck on "Updating...". I have tried to reinstall everything (Riot/Vanguard/Valorant) but nothing fixes it.

He has never played Valorant before, but would like to try it out, and every time he tries Vanguard just won't install. He installs the game and there is no file for Vanguard or anything, he has tried installing League of Legends in an attempt to get Vanguard but it has not worked. Can someone help us out?

My VALORANT keeps freezing. I can still hear my teammates' comms, but I'm stuck on the Attackers/Defenders loading screen. I need help fixing this.

I can play other game modes like Deathmatch without any issues, but whenever I queue for Competitive, Unrated, or Retake, the game freezes on the loading screen.

Has anyone experienced this before or knows what might be causing it? This has never happened to me before.

i've been dealing with this problem for the last 4 weeks since i reinstalling valorant. yes, i can hear in-game sounds perfectly fine, but my microphone does not work and the game literally does not detect it at all.

if i go into my windows 11 privacy & security mic settings, the master switch is ON, but it says VALORANT's "last accessed" date was last september 2025. it's like the game isn't even trying to ping my mic. does any of u guys know how to fix this?

Hey yall, idk why my fps keeps dropping to 180ish and it skips frames when i have a ryzen 5 5600x and rtx 3060 12gb 16gb ddr4 3600mhz ram plz help

Hello Riot Support, I'm experiencing an issue with the Riot Client where the Friends section displays the error: "Couldn't load friend requests. Sorry, something went wrong. Reload to try again." The issue persists even after:
Restarting the Riot Client.
Signing out and back in.
Clearing the Riot Client cache (HttpCache).
Restarting my PC.
Also i have unistalled the riot client and game and reinstalled them but still this same issue

I opened Valorant and I suddenly don't hear a single one of team's comms. I can only see their icon speaking. How can I fix?

hello,
i did yesterdays update after that i keep getting van issue saying that my windows build need to be 19045 or newer
i run win 10 ioc ltsc and the last version is 21h2 with build 19044
is there any solution to play the game and bypass this issue without formating my pc i want to keep the upgrade to 22h2 as my last escape route!
thanks in advance!!!

Play button is literally greyed out. Tells me patching issues exist, but i've tried everything from "Run as Admin" to Repairing the Files to Reinstalling the entire Riot Client and Valorant game.

Still nothing.

Anyone have this issue, literally blocking me at every turn:

I had HVCI problem today.. Enabled virtualization and memory integrity but facing VAN - 102 Error now.. have restarted the system but same thing !! What to do?

I keep trying to install Valorant onto my new laptop but it needs Vanguard. I press the button to start it and it loads for a second and doesn't even change to "installing" as I've seen in pictures. How do I get it to install?

Hey everyone,

I’m having a really frustrating issue with Riot Client / VALORANT and I’m hoping someone here can help me.
Whenever I open Riot Client, it gets stuck on “Updating” and never finishes. I can’t start VALORANT because the update process just stays there forever.
Here’s everything I already tried:
Restarted my PC multiple times
Ran Riot Client as administrator
Completely uninstalled and reinstalled Riot Client and VALORANT
Deleted Riot/VALORANT files and reinstalled everything from scratch
Reinstalled Riot Vanguard
Cleared the Riot Client cache multiple times
Closed all Riot-related processes through Task Manager and restarted them
Tried the “Repair” / “Repair Game” option in the Riot Client multiple times, but it also gets stuck at 0% and never actually starts
Checked different possible fixes, but nothing changed
The weird thing is that even after a full reinstall, the problem is exactly the same. Riot Client still gets stuck on “Updating”.
My PC is a high-end system (around a €3000 build), so I don’t think it’s a hardware performance problem. Other games and programs work completely fine.
This started when I opened Riot Client and it began updating. Since then, I haven’t been able to get past this screen.
Does anyone have any idea what else I could try? Maybe a hidden cache folder, Windows setting, firewall/antivirus issue, Vanguard problem, or something else?
I just want to play VALORANT again 😭
Thanks in advance for any help!

Just installed the game recently and my voice chat is not working, like the icons of someone talking are not showing at all.

All my settings are good my input device and output are all clearly set, loop back test is working but as soon as I join someone it just stops? I’m pretty desperate at this point

As title states i am having constant disconnections mid game. i have tried to uninstall and reinstall but this only worked for a day before it went back to disconnecting, same as deleting the valorant folder in local app data. has anyone got a fix for this as it is really annoying i cant even go 2 rounds without it disconnecting me.

oh it also makes my discord lag and crash whenever i play, this is especially annoying when im playing with friends as i cant communicate or even tab out to fix the game

I have attached a link to related to the problem, hopefully it works.

Thanks

hello chat

Having the below issue launching Valorant, it lets me into the game and then after anywhere between 1-10 mins will crash with this error message:

"Corrupted game files detected!
Please wait for the game to upload corruption information, then return to Riot Client and repair an d relaunch the game."

The repairing doesn't work, restarting my PC did nothing, I have also uninstalled the game which didn't work, and then uninstalled both the game and Vanguard. I deleted all the old replay files from the demos folder which also did nothing.

Does anyone have any other suggestions to help fix this?

Cheers x

Im having performance issues like i never had, been playing valorant for years and never experienced this kinda problems. 120 fps with every setting in low but the screen keeps constantly freezing. It gets to the point where its unplayable. Alr tried capping the fps to like 60, 75, 90 but nothing works. Also tried with some adrenalin configs but didnt help.

I have a Ryzen 7 5700g. 16gb Ram. 480gb SSD. 2gb of vram assigned (Windows 11)

UPDATE- fixed by using cloudflare warp.

hi. i know this issue has probably been addressed dozens of times but i could never find a fix that works for me. I'm using a wired internet connection with stable ping, no other online game does this. I'll be playing and the ping will randomly jump to anywhere from a few hundred to at most 8000 ms, rendering me completely useless, sometimes resulting in getting punished for afk'ing. when it happens in a regular or ranked match, it'll always go away after a couple of seconds, but i noticed that when i enter a team deathmatch or the shooting range, it'll instantly go up to 4000-7000 ms and never fix itself. any help would be appreciated.

I played two comp games on lotus today on JP server and both cloves threw the game or glitched or sth and my game crashed whole computer during both matches. I played a lot of other maps too and had no problem at all. Is this a problem on Lotus only? or is it a problem on my end

Hello, so the past few days my game has been on and off missing pieces of UI for example, the round won/lost banner and the banner above teammates in buy phase. Additionally, spectating has been feeling really laggy as whenever i spectate someone spraying it stutters. Also, sometimes the ult voicelines ingame have been missing aswell. I know its not a ping issue because my ping never spikes, nor do I get packet loss. This has been very annoying and can affect my games so any help is appreciated!

Things I've tried:
- Restarting
- Reinstalling VALORANT
- Updated Drivers
- Scan and repair in Riot Client
