Alright i will try
Because im so mad i got a 3 day ban on ranked its not even my fault
Also you got app called process lasso ?
And what abt when i load in in val it rakes so long after error code
No
ye bc its still trying to load files needed for vanguard
just try stay in range for 10 mins then go into match
Wait i got to take my cmos battery off because i tried what chat gpt told me and i wont get any screen 🙁
://
Should i install it



These are from Riot's support page. Maybe they'll give you some insight in what you're experiencing?
i tried it so many times i told my brother to stop riot client and just dontopen it and still
I get 9 ms ping
Eu
Germany
Maybe you should access you account and sign everyone out, then log back in on Riot Client?
Also, are you using any antivirus other than Windows Defender?
It could be interfering with Riot Vanguard
No
Not related
Press windows key + r
Type msinfo32
Show ss
Show me this
Based on what are you saying that? I'm not saying you're wrong, but it would be nice if you could enlighten us as why you think the description of the error codes that Riot provided are unrelated?
Only windows defender
Imma try that
give me 10 mins just took cmos battery out
Also, try adding Riot Games and Riot Vanguard folders to the exceptions list on Windows Defender just in case.
thats by riot dev here
There is many issues that listed and not listed correctly on riot site
so the dev here we tag here sometimes for same error and she look into logs and mostly recommend to stay in fire range for 10 mins
Did that
Sometimes can be driver conflict
Could it be my cpu
Fair enough.
I have an i5-6600k and an rtx 2060
Thats why i asked for ss
ill send you soon pls wait!
im waiting
Provide the screenshots that @momo asked for so that we can assist further
I will.
Alright, good luck
dont send ss
Why
What should i do ghen
go to C/program files/ riot vanguard
Zip the file called logs and send it here
you said your cpu already so its enough
Its your cpu was looking around some ppl have same issue as yours
but we need logs to ask dev to make sure it is your cpu and not something eles

Uhm
in your files
disk C
why you open chrome ?
no when i copied that
it
opend chrome
wait i got the logs
before i reinstalled vgc
No
i mean
afterr
Zip the file
not one by one

if i press logs it goes one by one
i also went on my alts and same soo
dont open it
alr
right click on logs
Zip and send it here

Please anyone
I went got kicked out of a swiftplay bro

Please
Im so desprate i have a i5-6600k with an rtx2060
Never had this problem
I got banned for 3 days anyone?
only devs can help
Oh alright
Man
are you using any third party softwares or connections? i saw on another reddit post that having your riot account connected to other platforms can disconnect you and cause the van 185 error, as they are trying to connect your account/read your account whether it’s tracker, apps to check the store, etc etc.
I use an app called val store but its only on every acc
i think its becase the app
I cann see remove it
this app can steal your accont
delete it
also mind showing all apps installed ?
then remove your account data from the app completely, then reinstall vanguard, then restart pc. if you do plan to use apps/programs/3rd party software only do it when you’re not playing then after checking remove your data/sign out to prevent any disconnections.
Its called valpaw
yes can steal your account
Oh never knew
and
Is it also on my other accs
show me all apps you have installed
okay, my friend used that app before and got van 185 disconnects as well. make sure to click remove data, don’t just delete the account.
Havent login on other accounts
On the app but same
Problem
its pc problem not this app problem
not login or logout something messing with vanguard
in the settings on valpaw, click storage and data, then reset data.
oh
Idid
its connection to vanguard. these apps can still cause the vanguard to disconnect with van185 as it deals with connection to riot servers.
im playing an game on myalt bcs i got banned for 3 days
reinstall vanguard before playing to clear any cache data that couldve been saved from pervious occurrences. restart pc after. then try playing.
Alright will after the round!
I noticed after i got the app it hapend more
yes, my friend had the same issue and it fixed for them.
if not, then the vgc could also be randomly stopping. so check what cpu priority vgc.exe is running at while valorant is launched, make sure it’s at normal. make sure to have vgc.exe at automatic in services not manual.
from another reddit post, hi, here's the fix that worked for me for van 185 error. delete the file at C: Windows\vgkbootstatus.dat > uninstall riot vanguard fully using revo uninstaller > run command prompt as admin type or copy paste these separately sc delete vgc sc delete vgk > restart your pc (not shutdown and start, use the restart button option) > open the game VALORANT shortcut again in order to reinstall Vanguard (you might need to restart the PC once again during this process). thanks to DarkBeing from riot games player support for this fix, i hope this helps you fix the issue.
try these out and test, then let us know!
Did he also had van 84 van -102
not sure, but just give it a try and see if it stops the van 185 at least.
WAIT
OPEN CMD
as admin
Yes?
apply these one by one
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset
can you show me what apps you have installed ?
and this one
netsh winhttp reset proxy
um im not on my pc rn but i cann tell u
alr
lmk
obs, luna client, tl launcher, fortnite, riot client, direct drivers ethernet driver chrome hoyolab for genshin impact dead by daylight roblox discord wallpaper engine steam epic games launcher
Thts all
Tried so many times ill try tmrw
you sure ?
what is hoyolab ?
Hoyolab is the launcher for genshin impact!
msi after bun ner just installed to see if i did any overclockinbg



If anyone has gotten any fixes,I've been having this problem for over a month now and believe me I have tried everything. Flushing my dns, resetting it, reinstalling valorant and vanguard, disabling ipv6, i turn on vgc in services before opening valorant but it still crashes with different error codes each time, VAN 84, VAL 5, VAN 185, 184 and the list goes on. I've submitted multiple tickets, gotten multiple replies and solutions but none of them worked. It's frustrating because every time I start a match, I'm always anxious because the game might crash anytime. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. I don't know what else to do now. It literally happened an hour ago, twice, two games in a row. Riot basically told me it's probably my internet but I've been playing valorant for 2 years, it never happened before, started only a month ago and never got fixed. The only solution would be to change my cpu of which I can't do rn.
please
i asked junimo for you
but she is too busy with works but once she have free time she will take look
she have your logs already
alright thank you!
ill wait
ill try revo uninstaller if it dosent work i quit
dont think it will work
alrigh tbh i think i got rid of van 185 but not van 84 i standed afk in the range forr a hour and still got it :p
already wrrote ticket for my 3 days ban maybe they lift up but wont play on my main for now.
your issue is not the game it self
something making conflict with the game
is it because i use tiny 11
i dont really know
ohh alright
what is tiny 11 ?
Tiny11 is basically a shrunken-down, lightweight version of Windows 11 made by a community developer, not Microsoft.
👉 Why people use it
Takes up less space
Uses less RAM and CPU
Can run on PCs that don’t meet Windows 11 requirements (like no TPM or too little RAM)
lot
of people
use ti
it
🙂
that can make problems yes
bc the others some of them issue got fixed
but yours so weird
so better reset
go to win 10
well when i bought my pc it already had windows 11 but i downgraded to windows 10 because i liked it much better and i got windowss 11 bcs of update and eveything is fine but like my cpu thats why i used tiny 11 idk how it had windows 11 before but yeah and after i got my pc i needed to do secure boot in my bios and i didnt know how so i just downgraded to windows 10 and now to tiny 11
and also my old account got locked after buying the pc i have no idea how
and what i did wrong
maybe the pc was banned before
i mean maybe i bought it from ebay
from a seller i already tried to
yea
refund but it was more than 14 days
after i got banned
do you have proof you bought it ?
if yes open ticket to riot show them all proof you have that you bought used pc
well my parents bought it for my birthday i have a picturre from my old pc
they help you unban the account
recepit
well they payed with cash since they drove to the seller
ah
well still try
we bought in on ebay kleinanzeige its basically german facebook market place
but for now
go reset your pc
i will send you later light tweak make your pc have good performnce
and you will be good
alright will do it also i just accepted it i got banned but like after i got it it was christmas and i got a new gpu and ssd
and i got unbanned from the game
but it was just a month
i alr wrote riot and they told me i should go for a refund because theres nothing else to do
ah if they said it then not much you can do
now go reset
alright to windows 10?
yes
what abt the updates
doesnt matter
you dont really need it
alrightt
should i do with rufus or just normally
with an usb
just random with usb
thanks twin
once you are on the screen to chose windows and shi
hopefully it works
do this
shift+f10
diskpart
list disk
yes
select disk (number wtv)
clean
oki
then you sure you got rid of everything
i will do now 😄
alr
hhopefully it works because i deranked so bad
from d2 to plat
3
downloading

also vanguard is mostly at the top


my old main that got banned nothing was unusally since im a sage/reyna main im mostly a battle sage

yea if the pc was banned when they sold it to to you then you can get ban
wait so my main rn can get banned?
when did you buy that pc ?
Last year
Started playing val on that pc 5 monts ago
got banned 3 months ago
I had like old gpu and ssd from last year because my old pc was to shitty for them
i had an radion graphics card
and a ssd 200 gbs
after i changed them i got unbanned i have no i dea how because i switched to fortnite after that bann and i wanted to play val so bad and i just could play
my old pc was an bussnies school pc with just an gtx 1630 in it 4 gbs ram
my new has 16 gbs ram i5-6600k rtx 2060
so that account was banned 1 year ago ?
Nope 3 months ago
I started playing val 5 months ago on this pc
Because my parents wanted to give me the pc for my birthday and i couldnt wait because my old pc graphics card burned out
and you were able to play after ?
Yes after changing my gpu and ssd
I got these things on christmas and they were collecting dust
And didnt knew my rtx was better than my radeon
Amd
and on my old acc i also had van 185 but only van 185
and it got fixed by a drivers update
i mean old pc sorry!
that account you share it by any chance ?
only with my brother
somepeople said i got banned for using raw accel
and costume curve
but im not sure
my tracker is really legit
you dont get ban for that
and when that account got ban you were getting error ? like val 5 or 152 ?
val 152
hmm
well take care
play in new account after you reset
so not on my main?
ive been playing for 2 months fine expect those shitty ahh error codes
if i remember
i think they only was on windows 11
reseting now!
also i saw a tiktokerrr that said she got banned for her Red Dead Redemption mods i also had some
well idk
your case is just weird
yeah um do u think i have a virus or am i just tweaking
wait
ah make sense
mods or cheat for other games can get you banned
well if you are playing since 2 months then i dont think
but you said you are mods for other games it can ban you aswell


i had for genshin but didint god banned since those mods
were only skin mods
yea any cheat or mods can get you banned
so you know the reason now
vanguard is always at the top and it annoys me
only apps open


finish reset
then we will see
alrright will do i get to u
will i need to do secureboot again
huh ?
no
you are reseting os
not bios settings
Alrightt
Um

It works

When should i fo shift f10

i have been having issues with van 185 as well, let me know if a solution is found
this might sound crazy but a few weeks ago valorant was working fine, then, i pirated a game off steamrip and all of a sudden it gave me all these kind of errors, once i deleted the said game its been running smoothly for almost 2 days now. im no expert in all of this but im pretty sure theres something bugging w the vanguard
and i know u aint got no other games on there but just checking if anything else u got installed got you bugging w it
Well same here but not pirated just spotify
I uninstalled spotify
Now it works
why would spotify bug with the vanguard
thats weird
I have no idea
i also connected spotify with discord
Than it happend
So weird
good thing it works now just without music
