Van error 185, In game Stuck screen

Van Error 185, Stuck Screen (Error Code: 185). Unfortunately, none of the suggested solutions have resolved the problem.


Getting disconnected mid-game with Error 185

Getting stuck indefinitely on the Game loading screen

Repeated penalties and even a 3-day ban due to unintentional disconnections

To troubleshoot on my end, I have:

Reinstalled Valorant and Vanguard multiple times

Attempted to set VGC to automatic startup (the service still stops on its own)

Added both Valorant and Vanguard to my firewall exceptions

Ensured all Windows and driver updates are current

This has become extremely frustrating. I play Valorant because it brings me joy, but these issues are turning it into a stressful experience. I am genuinely trying everything I can on my endplease help me find a lasting solution.
