Error code VAN -79 typically indicates a connection issue. Here are some steps you can try:
1. Restart VALORANT and the Riot Client: Often, simply restarting the game can resolve temporary connection issues.
2. Network Reset: Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run these commands one by one:
-
netsh int ip reset
- ipconfig /release
- ipconfig /renew
- ipconfig /flushdns
- netsh winsock reset
3. Firewall: Ensure that VALORANT is allowed through your firewall. Instructions can be found here.
4. Reinstall Vanguard: If the issue persists, try reinstalling the Riot Vanguard anti-cheat software.
If none of these steps work, consider reaching out to Riot Support directly for further assistance.
