Connection error
For the last few days my game have been showing van-5 and other connection errors and happens during a match. I have tried reinstalling vgc but it does not work.

Hi
On your windows search bar search for services
Find vgc
Set startup type to auto
And start
Then apply
Then run your cmd as administrator
Run these one by one
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset
Restart your pc
i did everything but still it is showing the error and i got banned for disconnecting from a game
do you have anti virus other than windows defnder ?
no
are you using custom windows or normal one ?
normal
this problem started a few days ago
before that everything was normal
what cpu you have ?
oh sorry i just checked my app list and i have malware bytes installed
intel core i5-6200U
unistall it
think your cpu might be issue
ok but it does not run in the background
unistall it
ok
look at your task manager cpu usage when you are ingame
and tell me how much is it
i dont think so, i have been playing valorant in this pc and this problem only started a few days ago.
ok
but how long you have this pc ?
this laptop is really old i have it since 2020
yea
it could be
think reset windows and update chipest and bios would help
but look at task manager
cpu usage
and tell
Ok i will drop a screenshot
how much ram you have ?
8gb
when last time you reset your os ?
i recently installed a ssd 2months ago .I didnt reset once from that time.
you unistalled malwarebyte ?
hey i just closed valorant and in the task manager -> details i dont see vgc
yes
restart pc
and see what is eating too much from your ram
also what apps you have installed ?
i restarted and then opened valorant
your game working now ?
it opens but my problem was that it randomly disconnects and shows the connection error
and everytime it shows i have to restart pc to launch valorant
since you installed malwarebyte or before ?
or else the game gets stuck in the loading screen
loading screen is another issue
a month ago
ok..
and when then problem started happen ?
anyway test now without malware byte
a week
also look what is taking much from your ram
ok
think its malware byte blocking vanguard thats why you keep getting kicked
uhh what about other players who are having the same problems as me?
ok.. but malware bytes does not run in the background at all
i used it because i had a hdd issue back then and i never used it and disabled startup.
you checked if vgc service is running ?
no vgc is not running now
do i have to restart
wait
or i can start it from services.msc and it will work the same
have you added vanguard and valorant to firewall ?
no i didnt
go add them
ok
and make sure vgc service set to auto start it
restart
and watch what is taking much from your ram
yes its in auto and i started it
okay
add val and vanguard to firewall
you know how ?
i added both valorant.exe
how can i add vgc?
or vanguard
vanguard
allow app through firewall
then above change settings
click it
whats the file location of vanguard?
C/program files/ riot vanguard
thank you
np
vgc.exe right
ye
if none worked then your only option left is reset pc
yes i did it
ye i meant if you test and still getting error
ok i will play and see if the problem still persists
yea if you reset install only val and test with it
see if something eles was making problem
by the way does rainmeter affect anything?
this one
widgets for win 10 thingy...
dont think no
ok
just look what is eating your ram
ok i have to restart first wait a moment
Thats definitely not 8 gigs of ram
Do you think temu 8gb ?
Or there are 2 4 gb sticks and one of em is dead
Or its actually just 4 gb ram
no its a 8gb stick
Then you have something eating your ram
you gotta figure out
wait i just noticed this
its 7.4 not 8
hey my problem have been solved
i have played like 4 matches and it didnt showed any connection error
Good to hear
good it work
it seems to be firewall problem
but still wonder what was taking much from your ram
Solution
fix add val and vanguard to firewall
