ban appeal
few days ago i had to afk a few rounds to pray (religious reasons), which resulted in my 1 week ban. but time to time, i get this error connection issue (van: 185) and it so happened to occur just a few days after my 1 week ban. while i was trying to launch valorant again, it kept saying "not responding" so i had to restart my pc. i then got banned for 2 weeks, please help.
problem: the only problem i have is with my GPU needing to get a later driver, but its so old that it doesnt support it. and i cant upgrade my pc parts because my parents said no.

please help
Press windows key + r
Type msinfo32
Show ss
Also open task manager > performance tab
Show ss in gpu tab



@Rachel
In the future to avoid VAN185: follow this, load in to the range, sit and wait 20min, use your movement keys to not go afk, then play the game

i see. okay thanks
what about the ban? would it get lifted or no
Also for the GPU, what error do you get ?
You can try your luck with support, can’t be done anything from here.

not much error js when im about to launch the game it says smth like
wait lemme ss it
what.. i dont even get it anymore
but anyways from what i remember it says something like i need to upgrade my graphic card driver
but i cant bc my gpu is js so old it doesnt support the driver
But if you close that error message, you’re still able to play?
yep it gives me an option
yes or no
even if i click yes i cant even download it bc my gpu too old
but if i clikc no im still able to play
But it doesn’t crash mid game cause of it tho?
Yeah I get that
no it happens very rarely
not very but like
pretty rarely not often
but like the error connection js so happened to be a few days after my previous ban 😭
