It sounds like the issue could be related to your network settings or ISP. Here are a few suggestions to try: 1. Check Firewall/Antivirus Settings: Ensure that VALORANT and the Riot Client are allowed through your firewall and antivirus software.
2. Network Reset: - Open Command Prompt as an Administrator. - Run the following commands one by one:
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset

3. Disable IPv6: - Go to Network and Sharing Center. - Click on your network connection (e.g., Wi-Fi). - Click 'Properties' and uncheck 'Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6).' 4. Check Router Settings: Sometimes specific router settings can cause connectivity issues. Ensure your router’s firmware is up to date. 5. DNS Change: Try changing your DNS settings to Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). If none of these solutions work, consider checking with your ISP if they have any blocked ports or restrictions.

It could also be your isp If it works with a VPN just use it And see if you got issues when trying to play the game without the vpn on
