Valorant VAN Connection Errors — Patch Day Checklist

VAN 9003, VAN 106, and VAN 9001 reports rise after Valorant patches. Here is the fastest fix order before reinstalling Vanguard.

Patch days routinely spike Valorant VAN errors even when Riot status stays green. The Riot Client update, Vanguard reboot, and CDN auth lag behind patch notes. Fully exit the Riot Client, restart your PC so Vanguard loads at boot, then queue again. If VAN errors persist when Valorant status is operational, repair the client and flush DNS. See our VAN 9003, VAN 106, and VAN 9001 guides for code-specific steps.

Key points

  • VAN errors spike 1–3 hours after major patches
  • Restart PC before reinstalling Vanguard
  • Compare with live Valorant status and regional reports
  • VPN and firewall blocks mimic outages

FAQ

Are VAN errors always a Valorant outage?

No. Client cache, Vanguard boot order, and local network issues cause VAN codes when servers are fine.
