Are you able to try playing Valorant now & seeing if you get the same error?
im playing rn
its happening just once 3 or 4 matches
so its not that big of a problem
just sometimes its annoying

Ah, I see. Let's try reinstalling Vanguard.
;vgc
- Open the Task Manager > Details tab
- End the task on all VALORANT, Riot Client and VANGUARD-related apps/services
- Open the Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
- Uninstall Riot VANGUARD
- Open CMD as Admin and type these commands:
- sc delete vgc
- sc delete vgk
- Navigate to your C: Drive, then Program Files
- Find the VANGUARD folder and delete it
- Open the Riot Client and click update
- Restart your computer after the update
After you’re done with that:
- Press Windows key + R
- Type services.msc
- Look for vgc
- Right-click on vgc > Properties
- Change the startup type to automatic
- Start the services (if not started already)
We will be waiting for your response, thank you.

i didnt get the van 185 error but instead i got van 5
Was it VAN 5 or VAL 5?
didnt focus
whats the difference
i remember it said like connection error or sum
VAL 5 means "Account was logged into elsewhere."
i was middle of game so i just rushed
damn
is my account hacked
if
Did you get any emails about a new login attempt?
if i press this do i get kicked from game
dont think so
then no
you prob got VAN 5
what that
There's no information on the error codes website for that
ok
You still aren't the only person getting disconnected in-game
oh ok tyty
im really afraid of my account getting hacked
You can change the password then click log out everywhere but it will kick you from the game
it should be van 5
then you should be fine
i googled both and i believe i got the description of van 5
thank you homie
