Folks, we have two pieces of news for you. Let’s start with the good news: Valorant is out now and millions of players all over the world already joined the fun.
The bad news is that there’s a series of bugs and errors affecting the game despite Patch 1.0 being released.
So, before you start searching for solutions to fix the Valorant problems you’re experiencing, take a look at the list below and see if the issue you encountered is actually a known bug.
If this is the case, there is rarely anything you can do about it but wait for Riot to release the second major patch for the game. Have some patience, no major game launch is bug-free and Riot are doing their best to find hotfixes for all these issues as soon as possible.
List of Known Valorant Bugs
- Missing VALORANT points from the beta. Please contact Riot support if you are missing points.
- Unable to purchase VALORANT points/no available payment methods. Known issue, please try again later.
- Unable to purchase battle pass. Known issue, please try again later.
- Not receiving battlepass rewards. Known issue. You will receive the rewards retroactively once fixed. If you still don’t have them in a couple of days, please contact Riot support.
- Unable to launch the game/connection errors. Known issue, please try again later.
- Receiving “Unexpected Provisioning Error” when starting a match. Known issue, please try again later.
- Contracts/battle passes/free agent unlock/missions in general having issues. Seeing lots of reports of missions resetting, completing but not giving XP/rewards, etc. Sit tight on those, closed beta launch had similar issues and those were all eventually resolved and rewards were retroactively granted. These issues shouldn’t impact you playing the game.
For more information, you can keep an eye on this Known Launch Issues Megathread on Reddit.

Everytime I load into valorant even just sitting on the home page it says “CONNECTION ERROR valorant has encountered a connection error please relaunch the client to reconnect” every 5-7 minutes. Mid games it happens also and reopening the game seems fine at first until it does it again mid fire fight and I have to reset and rejoin over and over leaving the team down a guy every 3-5 rounds for minimum 1-2 rounds before I can get back in.
Everytime I join a game it doesnt allow me to select a character and it only shows a button that says Lock In
Ive tried restarting the game and then uninstalling and installing and both didnt work I dont know how to fix this problem
