Valorant Van-81 Connection Error On PC? Fix!
In this video I show you how to fix the Valorant VAN 81 connection error on PC.
VAN 81 usually appears when Riot Vanguard cannot start or connect properly. This guide gets Vanguard running again so VALORANT can connect normally.
If you use Vanguard Pre-Check, do not change VGC to Automatic because Vanguard intentionally starts on demand. If reinstalling fails, use the Riot Repair Tool and contact Riot Support.
STEPS
Step 1) Restart your PC, open Riot Client, and test VALORANT.
Step 2) Open Settings - Time & language - Date & time, then correct the automatic time settings.
Step 3) Open services.msc, set VGC to Automatic, start the service, and restart.
Step 4) Uninstall Riot Vanguard, restart, then launch VALORANT to reinstall it.
Step 5) Perform a clean boot while keeping VGC enabled.
Step 6) Restore Normal startup, uninstall VALORANT, reinstall it, and restart.
