The game doesn't start
Here are the answers to the most common mistakes. If you have not found anything suitable to solve your problem, we recommend switching to website, where you can read in more detail any error found in Valorant.
The game flies onto your desktop without errors.
A: Most likely the problem is in the damaged files of the game. In such a case, it is recommended to reinstall the game, having previously copied all saves. If the game was downloaded from the official store, you don’t have to worry about the safety of progress.
Valorant does not work on the console.
A: Update the software to the current version, and also check the stability of the Internet connection. If a complete update of the console firmware and the game itself did not solve the problem, then it is worth re-loading the game, having previously removed it from the disk.
Error 0xc000007b.
A: There are two solutions.
The first is to completely reinstall the game, in some cases this fixes the problem.
The second consists of two stages:
- Complete reinstallation (if the installer offers a file deletion option when first launched - do this and then restart it for clean installation) of DirectX, Microsoft Visual C++ and Microsoft.NET Framework components.
- If it doesn't help, you'll need to check the game's shortcut with the Dependency Walker app (or equivalent). As a result of the application, you'll have a list of all the files needed to run the game.
Error 0xc0000142.
A: Most often, this error occurs due to the presence of Cyrillic (Russian letters) in one of the paths through which the game stores its files. It could be the username or the folder itself in which the game is located. The solution would be to install the game in another folder, the name of which is written in English letters or change the username.
Error 0xc0000906.
A: This error is due to blocking one or more game files by antivirus or “Windows” Protector. To eliminate it, you need to add the entire exception game folder. For each antivirus, this procedure is individual and you should refer to its help system. It is worth noting that you do this at your own peril. We all love repacks, but if you are often tormented by this error, it is worth thinking about buying games. Even at discounts, which can be found out from news on our website.
Absent msvcp 140.dll/msvcp 120.dll/msvcp 110.dll/msvcp 100.dll
A: An error occurs if the correct version of the Microsoft Visual C++ package is not on the computer, which includes msvcp 140.dll (and similar ones). The solution will be to install the desired version of the package.
After downloading and installing a new package, the error should go missing. If the message about the absence of msvcp 140.dll (120, 110, 100) is saved, you must do the following:
- Click on Windows + R;
- Let's enter the command “regsvr32 msvcp140.dll” (without quotes);
- Pressing“OK”;
- Reloading the computer.
Error 0xc0000009a/0xc0000009b/0xc0000009f and others
A: All errors starting with the index 0xc0000009 (for example 0xc0000009a, where any letter or number can be in place “”) can be classified into one family. Such errors are a consequence of problems with RAM or a swap file.
Before you start following these steps, we strongly recommend that you disable some background processes and third-party programs, and then try running Valorant again.
Increase the size of the swap file:
- Right-click on the computer icon and then: System Advanced Settings - Advanced - Performance - Advanced - Virtual Memory - Modify
- Select one disk, set the same size.
- Reloading.
The size of the swap file should be a multiple of 1024. the volume depends on the free space on the selected local drive. We recommend setting it equal to the amount of RAM.
If the error 0xc0000009a persists, you need to check your RAM. To do this, you need to use the functions of programs such as MemTest86, Acronis, Everest.
The game slows down and lies down
Most likely this issue is hardware-based. Check the game's system requirements and set the correct graphics quality settings. More information about game optimization is available read on our website. Exceptional cases are discussed below.
Brakes appeared in the game.
A: Check your computer for viruses, disable unnecessary background processes and unused programs in Task Manager. It's also worth checking the status of your hard drive using specialized programs like Hard Drive Inspector. Check the temperature of the processor and graphics card - it may be time to service your computer.
Long downloads in the game.
A: Check the status of your hard drive. It is recommended to remove excess mods - they can greatly affect the duration of downloads. Check the antivirus settings and be sure to install “” game mode or its analogue in it.
Valorant lies.
A: The causes of periodic brakes (freezes or lags) in Valorant may be applications running in the background. Particular attention should be paid to programs like Discord and Skype. If there are lags in other games, we recommend checking the condition of the hard drive - most likely it's time to replace it.
Fashion problems
Many modifications require additional programs to run or are installed “over” other mods. Carefully study the installation instructions and complete all steps exactly.
Before launching any modifications, Microsoft Visual C++ and Microsoft .NET Framework and Java Runtime Environment must be downloaded from the official developer sites. Both platform data are used to one degree or another to create and launch modifications, especially complex ones.
Download/update errors
Check the stability of your internet connection as well as your download speed. With too high a ping or too low bandwidth, the update may produce errors.
If the Valorant store or launcher does not complete updates or issues errors, then reinstall the program itself. At the same time, all games you download will be saved.
Run the game data integrity check.
Check for free space on the drive that the game is installed on, as well as on the drive with the operating system. In both cases, there should be no less free space than the game currently occupies. Ideally, always have a reserve of about 100GB.
Check the settings of the antivirus and “Windows” Defender, as well as the permissions in the firewall. It is quite possible that they limit Internet connection for a number of applications. This problem can also be solved by completely reinstalling the store or launcher because most of them will ask for Internet access during the installation process.
Login errors to the game
Check your internet connection and also make sure you have the latest updates installed. Check your antivirus settings - it's possible that it currently limits internet access for a number of apps. Could the game be preparing for a big update? Or is it not just you who made the mistake?
Black screen and elimination when trying to enter the game.
A: If you are using a VPN, then it is more likely that the problem is it. Try changing its settings or temporarily disabling it. It is recommended to change the region in the game itself (if this is possible). After some time, you can return to your usual settings.
“Invalid session” and similar.
A: Restart the launcher and wait for it to reconnect to the servers. If this does not help, you will need to restart the computer and router.
Valorant does not connect to the server.
A: Most likely, the game server is overloaded or a specific lobby is not available at the moment Try updating the list of available servers or simply restart the game.
PS Make sure your account or IP address has not been banned from the game for violating the rules, and your computer does not have cheats or other prohibited programs installed.
