Constant VAN 185 Disconnects – Tried Everything
Hey, I’ve been getting hit with VAN 185 non-stop, and it’s making the game completely unplayable.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:
-Uninstalled and reinstalled Vanguard
-Completely uninstalled and reinstalled Valorant
-Fully formatted my PC and reinstalled Windows
-Updated all drivers and BIOS
Despite all that, I still get disconnected and kicked with VAN 185 after launching the game.
Can you help me figure out what’s going wrong or what’s triggering this? I just want to play without getting booted every time.
Appreciate any help you can give. Thanks in advance.

How much in game pings do you get ?
25-35 maximun is 40
some people say it's cause vanguard being drama
but idk nothing works
have u fixed it
i been having this same issue for the past week anyone found a solution? 💔
i fix it
yea i fix it
first of all you need to go to task manager and end task of vanguard

then head to search and type "ser" it will show you "services"
click it
after it open search for "vgc"
and then click it once

then click start
then enter valorant
there's 50% you play freely and 50% they will kick you
if they kicked you
just do the steps again
and it's now 100% you'll play freely
you can code an .bat file to do it for you but you gotta run it as admin
idk if you can trust me but just go ask chat gpt about vgc and how to start it using .bat file and end task of vanguard and stuff like this
@!𝒩𝓊𝓁𝓁𝒱ℴ𝓌¡
send gpt this line to give you the bat file that does that in one click:
@!𝒩𝓊𝓁𝓁𝒱ℴ𝓌¡
ughhhhhhh valo system is shit, I'll dm you guys to give you the prompt alright with that?
help!
i had hope for a sec

yea normal you just didn't started vgc right or something bad happen, it's just vanguard didn't woke up
restart your pc
and look
downlaud it and run it as admin 0 malware you can ask chat gpt
it will just stope vanguard and start vgc
I coded it and I use it always to fix the van 185 problem
run it as admin
yo the process you're trying to kill doesn't exist
you can do this if you wish

Hi guys, I managed to solve the problem, try going to the panel of your internet box and opening your ports, look on the internet there are lots of videos for each wifi box so try opening your ports, it worked for me
It isn't the internet for me, it is account based for many of us, it makes no sense
Try removing any sd cards you may have, that’s working for a lot of people
Do you have a controller connected to your PC?
nop
hmm i have an external harddrive
i think mine fixed

i did this random shit on reddit
the first solution
and havent had it since then
@tenma1000 not to be the bearer of bad news, but it seems like every time it fixes it comes back around the 7th DM so double check :(
i havent had it in 3 days so
i think im good
oh nice
its over none of these working for me 😭
neither are they working for me
@!𝒩𝓊𝓁𝓁𝒱ℴ𝓌¡ riot id? please send me your vanguard logs, ty!
guys its fixeble?
bc i have the problem so many times idk what i need to do
i just dont wanna troll games for my tm8 and i want to play to with no problems
We are working on a fix
But would appreciate vanguard logs and riot ids to help diagnose the problem quicker
vanguard logs wdym about that
sry my english is not good
my riot id its G1blin#3638
maybe you saying about my logins in my acc in riot client? @junimo
It’s a folder called Logs in your vanguard install folder
okay i have a question no problem if i atm open valorant
Meanwhile try this workaround and see if it works for you guys-
If you enter firing range at all, wait in lobby for 10 minutes before queuing a match to avoid van185
If it works let me know
do you still need the vang logs
?
and if you need can you say where i can finds the logs
@junimo
.
I M liitle bit scared to quene match bc i can get ban
for 185
i got kicked by just siting in the lobby val problem 185
how do yalk get banned tho just restart asap
it takes 30 seconds
Or try this- go in firing range for 7 min, exit and then enter firing range again and see if you get van 185
can you help me <#1381947104733171853> 🙏🙏
okay
I think the current van185 has to do with joining different games too quickly- for example going from firing range immediately to a new match or another firing range
But if you leave 10 min gap between games it should be ok
Just a workaround until we fix this issue
can someone help me ?
okay i do it now dc i get crashed
i need to be in range 10min?
@junimo
Okay now im waiting 10 min in the lobby
@junimo i gotted now the same van 185
In the lobby
I get errors with different numbers for each error.
we are rolling out a fix, you shouldn't need the workaround anymore
fix should be deployed globally now
it has not fixed anything
i beg of you please also fix critical error, valorant is such an unstable game that it crashes literal 4090s. please search up critical error in community help and see what everyones getting, this is such an issue and it is so heartbreaking.
