Fix Valorant Matchmaking Issues

If you experience matchmaking issues, make sure the game is not affected by an outage. If Valorant’s servers are not available, some game features won’t work or the whole game is unplayable.

Fix 1 – Restart the game

A simple game restart works wonders. I know, getting angry when something’s not working, especially after you waiter for so long so play Valorant, is easy. Instead, take a deep breath, close the game and launch it again. With a bit of luck, matchmaking will be complete in just a few seconds and you can start hunting the enemy team.

Fix 2 – Check your connection

Unstable or low-bandwidth Internet connection may trigger a wide array of game issues.

Here’s what you can do to make sure your connection is stable:

1. Restart your computer and router
2. Change your DNS settings and switch to a public DNS
3. Make sure your firewall is not blocking the game
4. Disconnect other devices connected to your network, especially if they’re streaming video content.
