The error code you encountered, VAN 185, typically indicates a connection error in VALORANT. To troubleshoot, try the following steps: 1. Restart VALORANT and the Riot Client: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connection issues. 2. Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure your internet connection is stable. Try using a wired connection if possible. 3. Restart Your Router/Modem: Power cycle your router/modem by turning it off for 10 seconds and then turning it back on. 4. Update Your Network Drivers: Ensure your network drivers are up to date. 5. Allow VALORANT Through Firewall: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall. You can find detailed instructions here. 6. Flushing DNS: Open Command Prompt as an administrator and enter the following commands one by one:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset

ipconfig /release
