VAN 185
Hello, I've been getting this error for like 2 days now and it always happens in the range/deathmatch. It might've just been my luck but I dont know what's happening. It looks like a network issue, but how do I fix it?

It always occurs on the second deathmatch
there is no fix, and support isn't helping me... add me, we will try to get help, we have found around 5 to 10 people or something with the exact same problem
it is account based for some reason, if you login to another account it should be fine
I have a bad feeling they aren't going to fix it for a long time unless if people start getting it more
how is it account based?
It makes no sense, but add me
we are trying to figure it out
I can play on another account but i can't play on my main
i never get the error on any other account i have
only on the onyl one i play on
and it always happens in DM in the second dm on a single session
i made a discord group that we are trying to figure out how to fix it, if any @riot can help us we'd love you for the eon
i have the same issue
any rioters willing to join a discord server to help us?
I have a server in which we are trying to figure out this issue
i can't post it here as it says advertisement
just dm me if anyone can help please

CAN EVERYONE PLEASE POST WHAT MOUSE THEY HAVE, WE HAVE A THEORY REGARDING WHAT IS GOING ON...
and also if you have any software for said mouse
Pulsar Tenz signature 
What mouse you got ?
@Icarus we have a few people who have razer viper v3, does that mouse have a software and what dpi do u have it on
one of us who had the error go away downloaded razer syn, changed his dpi to 800 and then his account got like bricked again
there was multiple of us with that mouse hmmm
but it could be like... something to do with this still because
when i was trying to read the logs for myself it seemed like it was a controller issue
Razer

i feel like this line has something to do with it
customizations?
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
Yo bro can you help me out aswell getting the van -79 error
Open command prompt as admin
Type sc start vgc
Then start up the game
Okay thanks I’ll test that now
Should I do this every time I launch val or just once?
If you keep getting the error upon launching then you’ll have to do it every time
Check and let me know if it works
It worked man thanks
so we need to start the game go in the firing range leave and wait 10min in the lobby before launching any match?
Yes
Once i installed valorant again it also happened to me
I dont advise you but i turned off firewall and it seemed to work
I would say make an auto run script but idk if thats possible and vanguard might think its cheats.
I've seen other ppl do it at my school don't know how to do it tho
we are rolling out a fix, you shouldn't need the workaround anymore
when will the fix be out?
@junimo Yes please tell us, and if you could post here when it is fixed

is this the fix?
it should be out now!
it still kicks me out :val_KekwSob:
what's your riot id?
i miss her#pook (dont judge:val_Hampter: )
@junimo how can we test if it will come back based on what issue it was?
i did 2 dms it worked on 2, but i havent tried more yet, about to try now... paranoid cuz it came bcak before after like 6
like in the last patch
can you send me your vanguard logs?
yeah wait
DMS or here?
testing firing range repeatedly can work
dm is fine, ty
um .. sorry but how do i get them?
C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\Logs
zip up the folder
its about how fast u join a match u can play 10 dm in a row and not be kicked (u need to wait 10min in the lobby) like if u join the firing range u leave and join a dm u will be kick on the first match
right click, compress, zip
still or is it fixed?
and this sounds right because i was joining dm after dm fast
apparently fixed i will try it later
I don't see similar errors popping up anymore though, the fix should have stopped van 185 almost entirely
@junimo i will join like 10 dms and tell you if i crash, i am certain whatever error i had was connected to what you found
give me an hr
ok ty
thank you too
Gods work guys
I can finally get back on my radiant push
💗💗💗💗
looking good so far!
@tortugi Yes
Awesome
@junimo thank you so much <3
hey just an update, not that you need one tbh, but its also working for me now
the issue seems to be gone
the weird thing is is that it was only happening on my main account
and not on any of my other accounts
idk why that was
i obviously did the same tests on all accs
W go get that radiant
im on it 😎
