3. Perform a TCP/IP reset, DNS flush and port forward.
1. Open Start Menu
2. Type cmd and run it with administrator permissions
3. Type the following commands (press enter after each one):
- netsh int ip reset
- ipconfig /release (this command removes the current IP configuration)
- ipconfig /renew (this command requests your DHCP client to reset an IP address)
- ipconfig /flushdns (use this Netsh command to clear corrupted or incorrect DNS cache)
- netsh winsock reset (this command line resets Winsock settings and recovers your computer from any socket errors. Winsock contains your computer Internet connectivity configuration)
Note: These steps will only take effect after restarting the PC.
8. Unicode Settings
• Open Control Panel
• Click on “Change date, time, number formats”
• Then go to “Administrative”
• Click on “Change System Locale”
• Then change Current system locale to ENG
or Check the box to use Use Unicode UTF-8 (both solutions work)
• Reboot PC
maybe try this
watta freak!
thank you
its just the answer i got from val when i had the same issue
Also uncheck any options u might've checked in the compatibility settings please.
oka
i kinda dont understand any of this tho
; )
Welp
try this
netsh int ip resetipconfig /releaseipconfig /renewipconfig /flushdnsnetsh winsock resetnetsh advfirewall reset
Its the same thing but oversimplified
reminder to reenable firewall
oh ye ty
where is the random hardware access part?
ru sure its not supp to be addresses?
lira can u help me i have something similar issie
issue
Just skip that one
Tbh
?just ask here
I ain't sure
Never looked at it myself
yeah i mean random hardware access doesnt sound like smth that would be in network
Hm
i could be wrong tho im stupid as hell
Well not doing that shouldn't be a problem
okay well when i open valorabt it doesnt take me into the like what is in here but whem i load it up my mouse stutters as in it doesnt wor kat all but this only happens in valorant
im sorry but i cannot understand one word 😭
well when i open up valorant my mouse doesnt work and it keeps me in the loading screen for years
U mean ur screen gets stuck when u open the game
yes and my mic stutters on nd off really fast
mouse
i mean
Ur mouse like disconnects?
Wdym by on and off
not disconnect like i can move it but it goes on and off]
its easier if i show u
how will i show u it
What i need u to do is, open the game and put it in windowed mode by pressing F11 on ur keyboard
Lmk what happens then
ok 1 sec
Also show a photo of it being in windowed mode
well i think your like jesus
cause it fixed it now
thank you so so much
Well that was easy
pro
what if my valorant
doesnt switch to windowed with f11
Then we make it windowed fullscreen from the config files of the game
Also make it fullscreen once u r inside the game, if that also makes it stuck, change it to windowed fullscreen
where do i do the random hardware access part 😭
i mean
change random hardware access
to
daily
Just skip that part
i have the same problem since a few days
i also wrote the support but they dont seem to help
😭

trust
the cmd stuff?
did that already
i un- and reinstalled it like 5 times on hdd & ssd
tried repairing
tried doing the compatibility shit
nothings working

tysm for this 🙏 wasn’t able to play for a week now and this was the only thing that worked after i tried about 15 other things
Is it working for u now?
oh shi mb i forgot to do the steps

cmmands
..

but it didnt work
._.
Open task manager
Then details

Open control panel
Uninstall programs
Uninstall riot vanguard
Open cmd as admin and type these commands:-
1) sc delete vgc
2)sc delete vgk
Navigate to ur C drive then program files and find vanguard folder and delete it.

then
"sc delete vgk"
Write them separately
What gpu u got?
Open task manager

and then type
or
does deleting and reinstalling valorant and riot client do anytjing
3080 ti
i have the same problem
man everyone got this problem riot gotta fix their game
do u think re-downloading valorant and everything riot and all
will help?
you prolly wont understand anything but here
First type sc delete vgc then press enter
idk, i did it 5 times and it didnt
x.x
try it once
Show the whole screen please.
I've done it 3 times
it wont work
but im asking if it works for u guys
nope
cuz im trying to login in new pc
Also show ur errors @Daikiii @ℛ𝒾𝓂𝓊𝓇𝓊𝓊𝓊𝓊<3
same error critical error
im not currently in my pc but I have the same problem
its the exact same error
Try the 2 fixes i have shared above please.
alr sure
Open windows settings
Then apps and services
Search for "nvidia"
Show ss
btw does GPU affect it?
Sometimes
Depends
like the critical error part
i updated it yesterday.
how do i update my drivers?
Delete every one of those please
all my Nvidia drivers and windows update are all up to date
???
Including the control panel
for what ?
should i also delete
prob so they can re install
We do a complete reinstall
No
chat how do i update ma graphics drivers
i triedd it didnt work
i cant open itt
valorant should actuslly fix their game
@ℛ𝒾𝓂𝓊𝓇𝓊𝓊𝓊𝓊<3 done deleting all of em?
it's happening to alot of ppl
im on it
@jidat why don't u tell ppl to open their own ticket whatecer so it's easier to keep track
they dont know what the problem is
i wrote with the support the last 3 days
they gave me the same stuff jidat gives us here
😭
nothing has worked so far
I don't wanna chat in 6 different tickets simultaneously
I don't get paid enough to do this
hopefully they fix this next update or my money i spent is wasted
1 at a time
If the people wanna follow what i tell someone else to do, sure they can
(I do not take responsibility if they mess something up)
it keeps saying do u want riot client to make changes to ur pc when i open valorant when i click yes it just does nothing
Which someone can't possibly mess stuff like this up
Anyways
ah okay! I just thought it might be less of a headache for you but ig it's the opposite
same lol
