Match error

Hello, whenever I try to join a deathmatch or escalation, it just gets stuck at the match found screen and I load in at the last 5 mins + lag or I just don't load in. This doesn't happen at all in other modes like competitive or unrated. So is it just a pc error or in-game?

This issue could stem from several factors, including network issues, software conflicts, or specific game mode bugs. Here's a troubleshooting checklist to help you resolve it: 1. Network Reset: - Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run these commands:
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

2. Firewall Settings: - Ensure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall. Instructions can be found here. 3. Vanguard Issue: - Restart VALORANT and the Riot Client. If the issue persists, uninstall and then reinstall Riot Vanguard. 4. Background Software: - Close any unnecessary background software that might interfere with the game. 5. Update Game and Drivers: - Make sure both VALORANT and your graphics drivers are up-to-date. 6. Server Status: - Occasionally, such issues can be related to server maintenance or temporary bugs. Check the VALORANT support site or Discord for any ongoing issues. If none of these solutions work, consider submitting a ticket to Riot Games Support for further assistance.
