Patch days and server maintenance can lead to unexpected issues, resulting in such errors. Additional causes include region-specific server problems, background applications interfering with the game, and corrupted game files.
1. Check Server Status
Check for any server maintenance or ongoing problems with the game.
2. Flush DNS
The DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. It stores this information for quick processing without needing to establish a fresh connection each time. This data can become corrupted or outdated. Deleting the DNS cache clears any configurations it had stored previously. This allows you to send a new request to find the game server’s IP address.
3. Re-Log Into Your Riot Client
Signing out and back into your Riot Client resets the user session. It establishes a new session with revised data and connections. This step helps erase faulty data and fixes bugs and errors causing the issues.
4. Repair Game Files
Game files can become corrupted, missing, or outdated over time, leading to errors in the game. Repairing these files involves comparing all files from your local storage with those available on the game’s server. Files are fixed or replaced if necessary. If the error persists, try submitting a ticket to Valorant’s contact support.
