Error code -79 is not listed among the known VALORANT error codes, but it’s likely related to general connection issues or problems with the Riot Vanguard anti-cheat system. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve it:
1. Restart VALORANT and the Riot Client: Simple, but often effective.
2. Restart Your PC: This can clear out any temporary issues.
3. Update System and Drivers: Ensure your Windows and graphics drivers are up-to-date.
4. Allow VALORANT through Firewall: Check your firewall/antivirus settings to make sure VALORANT isn’t being blocked.
5. Reinstall Vanguard: Uninstall Riot Vanguard via "Add or Remove Programs," then restart your PC and start VALORANT to reinstall Vanguard.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, I recommend checking the official support site or submitting a support ticket for further assistance: Riot Games support.
