Error code VAN -79 typically indicates an issue with Riot Vanguard, the anti-cheat system for VALORANT. Here are the steps you can follow to resolve it:
1. Restart VALORANT and Riot Client: Simple restarts can sometimes resolve the issue.
2. Reinstall Riot Vanguard:
- Open "Add or Remove Programs."
- Find "Riot Vanguard" and uninstall it.
- Restart your computer.
- Launch VALORANT, which should prompt a reinstallation of Vanguard.
3. Check for Software Conflicts: Ensure no other software is conflicting with Vanguard, such as other anti-virus or system monitoring tools.
4. Update Windows: Make sure your Windows OS is fully updated.
5. Submit a Support Ticket: If the issue persists, submit a ticket to Riot Support for further assistance. You can do that here: Riot Games support.
