Timeout vs VAN codes
Generic timeout messages may not show a VAN number. Still check Valorant status and run the same network fixes as VAN 6 or VAN 57.
How to fix step by step
- 1Check Valorant live status on Oracnoos.
- 2Use wired Ethernet instead of Wi‑Fi.
- 3Restart router and PC.
- 4Flush DNS and disable VPN.
- 5Close bandwidth-heavy downloads.
- 6Reopen Riot Client as administrator once.
How CONNECTION-TIMEOUT differs from related codes
- Error VAN-6: Valorant VAN 6 indicates a connection failure between client and Riot servers. (server or client)
- Error VAN-57: Vanguard detected a conflict or failed its security check. (usually client-side)
- Error HIGH-PING: Valorant shows high ping or rubber-banding in-game. (server or client)
