Green its only monitor purple mouse keyboard ethernet
@momo
are you using normal windows or custom one ?
normal one
and whenever you turn on iommu you got stuck on booting ?
Yeah
which kernel you wanna enable ?
and when i turn it off it disable my kernel
this
cause valorant need it right?
you need only first one above
the rest doesn’t matter
ok and how do i activate iommu if im stuck in booting
disable them
Go enable iommu
And play
but hold on
the wole core isolation?
whole*
yes
but like valorant doesnt need it?
Did you got the pop up to enable it before ?
Only if it asks you to enable it
if not then doesn’t matter
for kernel yes, after i enabled ioomu went in boot disabled iommu kernel got disabled itself
so i'll try to disable it and activate iommu i'll let u know if work
alr
Sadly atm i have no pc i could help you better
But if its making problem then you have some drivers making conflicts
but dont think you need kernel
Only core isolation
Bro, i’ve been trying months to fix this problem u are the only one that is really helping
I hope it works ahah
Ok disabled after restarting
Now i try enable iommu
So dont be u are doing a lot ahah even if u dont have ur pc here atm
@momo stuck in boot again
Even with core isolation disabled
other than video card i got an audio card i just saw that
reset your pc
will fix it
The once you done reset download driver booster from steam and update everything
It did fix it but i did it also last time and boom the error appeared again
yea driver conflict
reset pc
update driver’s with driver booster
You will be fine
I did that
So about this problem i even got a suspension for 2 months and 15 days, cause of this problem, might try to text them if they can remove it cause i fixed it?
yes open ticket to support and explain to them what was happening and say you were getting help in valorant discord and finally its fixed and im sure they will understand
Thx
But its fixed now you are not stuck on booting ?
nope
im ok
i got isolation core enabled
iommu enabled
but idk
feels like im not
you still getting error iommu ?
its enabled
you getting error to restart or you can play normal ?
i still didnt try
im dowloading it now
and trying after i play
again
@momo
it should happen only 1 time
Thats fine
Restart your pc and play
hopefully
i'll try
Boot loop again
im stuck
@momo
Hmmm
did you update your bios ?
Still no
do it
And try this
Fix for error message: An IOMMU restiction has been applied, however a system restart is required to complete initialization
First things to assure
I have a MSI mainboard: MSI B650-P Wifi
The vanguard requirements are already fulfilled
If you have a sound card: Disconnect it from PCIE
Update your network wifi driver (it doesnt matter if you play on ethernet)
If it doesn't work
Go to device manager,
Find IDE ATA/ATAPI-Controller,
If it says anything but "Standard SATA AHCI-Controller" then proceed to step 4,
I had ASMEDIA driver for SATA. And that is a big no-no.,
To see the overview, right-click on your SATA AHCI-Controller, then Properties - Drivers Tab - Drivers Details
4.1. Close the overview tab, right-click on your SATA AHCI-Controller then click on Update Drivers. Choose the second option "Search driver manually" - then choose the second option again
4.2. You'll see two controllers. One is Asmedia (in my case) and the other controller is called "Standard SATA AHCI-Controller"
You want to choose the standard SATA AHCI-Controller
4.3. After you've installed the standard driver, restart ur PC and open Valorant again.
You'll still get IOMMU restriction error but that is fine.
4.4. Restart your PC again and there you go! Your valorant will work again! Hooray!
im sure its something related in your bios
Can you show ss of this
Press windows key + r
Type msinfo32

Im really struggling
And the pc doestn even have 1 year
Feels like im destryoing my pc
i know
But really if im around my pc atm i would fix it
but sadly
That really sad
I mean i might way u when u come back on ur pc
From that moment idk i might just wait
Cause its really stressful
nah come i text you dm
will try something rq
I’ll be home at 2 pm
Cause of working
We can try at that time if u want
We can
Thx so much ur so kind
Also
i dont think its a problem of my pc
it might be vanguard it self
that cause it on me
cause some ppl had the same problem
and after a whyle it disappeared
but i still have it
even after 2 months
that stressfull
it is your oc
oc?
Your pc sorry
