Error code VAN -83 typically indicates issues with the Riot Vanguard anti-cheat system, which may need reinstallation. Here’s a step-by-step guide to fix this:
1. Restart VALORANT and Riot Client: Sometimes a simple restart can resolve the issue.
2. Reinstall Riot Vanguard:
- Exit VALORANT and the Riot Client completely.
- Press
Windows Key + R, type appwiz.cpl and press Enter to open the Programs and Features window.
- Find "Riot Vanguard" in the list, right-click it, and select "Uninstall".
- Restart your computer.
- When you launch VALORANT again, Vanguard will reinstall automatically.
3. Update Drivers and Windows: Make sure your GPU drivers and Windows OS are up to date. This can sometimes resolve compatibility issues.
4. Check for Background Programs: Ensure that no other software is conflicting with Vanguard. Try closing unnecessary background processes.
