Valorant - solving technical problems and decoding errors

Error 43, chat not working, problems creating a group, crashes, and more


On April 7, 2020, closed beta testing of Valorant, a new shooter in the spirit of Counter-Strike from the creators of League of Legends, started. Unfortunately, the launch of early access was not without problems: crashes, errors when creating a group, broken chat, and other technical bugs. Let's see how they can be fixed.


When you first start Valorant will automatically determine the best graphic settings depending on your PC build. And yet, if you encounter freezes, lags, and friezes, you can try turning off some options. Minimizing graphics settings will reduce the number of effects on the screen and help avoid crashes. From the main menu, select "Video" and go to the "Graphics Quality" menu.


You can improve the graphics by selecting the following settings:


  • Multi-threaded rendering: off
  • Texture quality: low
  • Detail Quality: Low
  • UI Quality: Low
  • Vignetting: off
  • Vertical Sync: Off
  • Anti-Aliasing: Off
  • Anisotropic filtering: 1x
  • Quality Enhancement: Off
  • Bloom effect: off
  • Distortion: off
  • First Person Shadows: Off

Valorant won't launch (no access to CBT) / how to get access

If you have downloaded the installer, but you cannot get into the game, then first follow these steps:

  1. Link your Riot Games account to your Twitch account.
  2. Watch Valorant streams on Twitch-tagged Twitch Drops.
  3. You will receive a notification when you have access to the CBT.
If you already have access, then restart your PC after installation - Vanguard anti-cheat will work only after restarting Windows.
