Players see the VAN 84 error code when the Riot client runs into a connection issue with the servers. It can be caused by either the client's or the game's server, with the latter being the most likely scenario. If it is caused by Valorant's servers, any technical issue or server maintenance can be the source.

Player-side issues and game servers

However, if players encounter the error code, they should follow the steps below to ensure that the issue is not from their end:

Check their internet connection
Log out of the game and restart. This is a usual fix for most errors in Valorant.
Sometimes, rebooting the entire system can also fix the issue.

If the problem persists, check the status of the game's servers online. A quick search will reveal if similar complaints have been posted around that time and if the servers are indeed down.

Reddit and VPNs

Players can also post on r/ValorantTechSupport, discussing the issue and explaining the problems. We have seen responses from Riot employees to look into the matter.

Players can also use a VPN to change which game server they are connecting to. Oftentimes this allows them to circumvent the Van 84 issue in Valorant. Players should keep in mind that using a VPN (depending on which one they are using) may impact the internet speed and thus the in-game experience.

What is the VAN 84 error code in Valorant?

The VAN 84 error in Valorant mostly arises from server-side issues at Valorant's end. In rare cases, it can also be caused by your internet connection problems.

Players might also face the VAN 84 error during local network outages or if the Valorant servers are facing an abnormally high amount of traffic for some reason.

If the issue is on Riot's end, the best course of action is to wait for the developers to fix the error, which usually happens promptly.
