Have you encountered Error 5 in Valorant? Here’s how to fix the issue so you can get back to winning games.
Getting an error will often prevent you from enjoying the game, or in some cases from even starting them to begin with. This can usually be the case with Error 5 in Valorant, which you can encounter while trying to log in. This guide will help you deal with Error 5 when you try to log into Valorant, so read on to find out how to fix it.
Fixing Error 5 in Valorant
When you try logging into Valorant, you can sometimes get Error 5, whose full error message says “The game has lost connection. Please relaunch the client or restore connectivity. Error Code: VAL 5”. By default, this error message means that you are logged into your Riot account on a different device. However, that might not always be the case, so let’s see how to fix it.
1. Log Out of Your Riot Account on Other Devices
As explained, the main cause of Error 5 is that your account is logged into elsewhere. If you’re using multiple devices to play Riot games, make sure to log out from them and try starting Valorant again.
2. Restart Valorant and the Riot Launcher
Valorant may be getting a false-positive feedback, so try closing the Riot launcher altogether, and restarting it. Give it a moment to check for updates, then try launching Valorant again.
3. Check Your Internet Connection
If the error persists, it’s possible that your internet connection is having issues logging you in. Check if the internet is working on your PC, and if there are issues, try rebooting your modem and router. If that doesn’t fix the internet, contact your ISP and ask them for a solution.
4. Reinstall Valorant
When all else fails, try reinstalling Valorant. It’s possible that one or more files have become corrupt, so a fresh copy of the game should fix the issue.
