Restart Your Computer

Flush the DNS Configuration

• Next, you need to reset the network configuration:

Change the Default DNS Settings

If flushing the DNS does not help, you can fix this problem by changing the default DNS settings.

• Pressing ⊞ Win key+R together will open the Run terminal.
• Type the code below and press Enter to open the Network Connections settings.

ncpa.cpl

• In this window you will find several network adapters. Look for the adapter you are currently using on your system.
• When you find it, right-click the network adapter and click Properties.
• On this properties page, find "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)". Just double-click it.
• You will see the IP address and the DNS address. Leave the IP address as it is and click the "Use the following DNS server addresses" setting.
• Set "Preferred DNS server" and "Alternate DNS server" as follows:

8.8.8.8 
8.8.4.4

• Finally, click "OK" to save this.
• Close the VALORANT client and restart it.

If none of this worked, you can try disabling your VPN connection.
