How to Fix Valorant Connection Issues

Try these steps while waiting for servers to recover. Start at step 1 and work down.

01
Check Riot Games Status
Visit status.riotgames.com and select Valorant + your region to see the official status.
02
Restart the Riot Client
Fully close Riot Client from the system tray (right-click → Quit), then relaunch it.
03
Flush DNS and renew IP
Open Command Prompt as admin: run "ipconfig /flushdns" then "ipconfig /release" followed by "ipconfig /renew".
04
Check Windows Firewall
Ensure Valorant and the Riot Client are allowed through Windows Firewall. Go to Firewall & Network Protection → Allow an app.
05
Try a different DNS server
Switch to Google DNS (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) in your network adapter settings to bypass routing issues.
06
Disable background apps
VPNs, overlay software (Discord, GeForce Experience), and background downloads can interfere with Valorant's anti-cheat (Vanguard).
Upgrade your connection
A gaming router cuts lag and drops significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Valorant down right now?

Check the live report indicator above. GamerOutage.com aggregates real-time reports from Valorant players — a spike in the chart means server issues are widespread.

How do I fix Valorant connection errors?

Try flushing your DNS, restarting the Riot Client, and making sure Vanguard anti-cheat is running. Most connection errors resolve when Riot's servers recover.

What does "Login queue" mean in Valorant?

A long login queue means Valorant's authentication servers are overloaded, usually during a major update or outage. Wait it out or try again later.

Why is Valorant stuck on the loading screen?

Valorant loading screen freezes are usually caused by Vanguard anti-cheat failing to initialize, or Riot's servers being slow. Restart the Riot Client from the system tray and check status.riotgames.com.

Does Valorant have region-locked accounts?

Yes. Valorant accounts are tied to a specific region (NA, EU, AP, etc.). You can request a region transfer once every 90 days via the support portal at support-valorant.riotgames.com.
