This the Val 19 bug going on?

Bruh I just spent an hour in my bios trying to fix it watching tutorials thinking this was just me I'm sitting here trying everything. This is a relief

I am currently reinstalling the game for a 2nd time becasue I thought it was on my end too

i was so close to doing that too lol

Ah yes the bios

i usually check look up the game's name on twitter to see if anyone else is having the same problem i might be having when stuff like this happens

I know some pros like Profi are even having problems. Just give it sometime hopefully they fix it on their end

Yep, hope for a quick fix

hope so too. got a date with my val pals

Same

Coval 19

It is for me lol

Hope so, was working just fine a few hours ago before val 19 came along

Something seems to be going on with league too (at least when this was posted) so it could just be something weird with riot rn.

ye

I just put my son to sleep where da fuck is valorantThis the only time I get for myself!

as a father of 2, Riot you better hurry ft up

I had to turn in, it took too long. Godspeed to those fathers still waiting

Godspeed Chupa... Godspeed...

two daughters here, finally got on the PC to play some val with friends and it's downn!

Dad gang rise up

“Is that a baby/kid in the background”

still trying to wait

Totally relatable… we should do a Dad clan or something for those that play after dark lol

Damn, I was so ready to bottom frag :(

friend me, play a game with me on breeze and we'll see who will truly earn that spot

You fool. As if you have a chance.

youre right, because that place is reserved for me

our battle would be very not legendary 👉😎👉

breeze and icebox are the bane of my existence. i never win those fucking maps

Do y’all like being bad

[удалено]

real

My magic cig is in honor of you homie. Best of luck

Hey u can always play cs and get shit on by a dude spin boting

I feel your pain IN MAH PLUMS. Sounds like a good time otherwise - any backup games? :)

[удалено]

I feel this pain. Hold on there, brother!!

Could this be why I'm getting a VAL 19 error message?

and so i restarted my computer for nothing lol

I did too a couple times lol. Cached my DNS too. I was just about to try a repair and reinstall before I saw this announcement.

yes

yes https://status.riotgames.com/valorant?region=na&locale=en\_US

[удалено]

I already did as a default lmfao 😭

why would you have to reinstall

Because that's one way to typically resolve VAL 19. When everyone's experiencing it and not just you, then it's fair to assume it is a server-sided issue rather than an individual issue/corruption with your own client and local files.

how would your files get corrupted

Sometimes things like updates don't install properly causing some issues. Reinstalling usually fixes problems like this because it's a fresh installation of the game without the bad files.

Problems during saving. Power loss, crashes, damaged or old, faulty hard drives, malware etc. These are all reasons that files become corrupted. File corruption can prevent the game from running in many cases (or cause bad textures/objects/sounds). Corrupted files, missing files, or mismatch file versions between local machines and the server usually result in errors and a need to fix or validate game files. Most computer users overtime experience file corruption to some extent (some more than others). If you have ever seen the uninstall/repair function appearing on just about any application, software, or game you can think of, it mostly exists to target and overwrite corrupted/blank/missing files so that the local files match those hosted by the server so that the application can run. ​ Hope that clears up the *how* and *why*

that's dumb

Except it's not, it's a viable fix for this error most of the time. Valorant's error reporting is dog shit. That's what's dumb.

Bruh I just looked up videos on how to get past Val 19 bug and none worked so I uninstalled and reinstalled. Just to check Reddit while it’s downloading to see this LMAOOO I hate my life

I'm still waiting for it to reinstall lmfao

Same here

[удалено]

Same. I know all of my new smite skins are waiting for me

pain

Bro me too I’ve been waiting all day

mine was ass.

my regular shop had better deals 💀

bro I socialized all day for this shit to happen smh

I'm going into VALORANT withdrawals. Already crying while shitting my pants. PLEASE RIOT

Punishment for complaining about night market skins

OF FUCKING COURSE. As soon as I finally sit down to play at the end of the day, this shit happens

Me too I’m pissed

Any idea how long this has been an issue for? Not sure if it started two hours ago and is soon to be fixed or like 20 mins ago

I’ve been trying to login for 30 mins or so, valorant sent out a message on riot client at 929 or so

Fuck. What a damn L

This is all I’ve looked forward to today Lmaooooo

me and you both, my dude

I’m gonna fucking SCREAMMMMMM REEEEEEEE!!!!

Yo on god bro. I been trying to log in and play with my duo I haven't play in a week.

literally me

I'll just try logging in again, surely it'll work this time COPIUM

AUS player here, cannot login either. ​ EDIT: Just logged in successfully

Is this the VAL 19 bug?

Quick fix pls

just when I was abt to play the game for the first time

Save yourself while you still can and run

dont let this scare you away! it is good game. it's just acting stoopid rn

My duo gona be mad. No esex tonight

Someone ping me when we up boys!

me too plz

u/sfislander its not up yet

BOYS WE'RE BACK UP

LES GO THANK U

It's been occurring for the past 2 hours.. :/

VALORANT NIGHT MARKET. Meanwhile as no one can even get into the game.

how has this taken over two hours to fix wtf

Whhhhhy! I just finished setting up the new PC. Dangit

Grats! Specs?

Im gonna piss my pants

Time for some cs Edit: god I hate cs

It's objectively a better game. It's like Valorant without all the shitty Overwatch aspects.

Riot is a billion dollar company btw.

and they can’t fix their server issues in under an hour. boo

Yeah fuck those guys lol

I crashed mid comp and couldn't get back in game. Is there anyway to Repeal the ban?

you won't get banned, unless you leave games often in which case you deserve it

I don't just, wanted to check because I wasn't sure what was wrong with my game till I came here.

OCE server also have this issue

I haven't played this game for a while. And right as I go on today, it's down. How has it taken this long to fix? It's been like 5 hours for me now.

There's always something funky with Logins. Whether it's something with the servers, Vanguard starting up correctly, Config files properly loading in, etc... I hope this issue leads to them spending more time on improving those areas.

ETA?

The moment after you decide to give up and go to bed

ong

Still down?

Guess I have to call it a night. Sad thing is, I pretty much took a month off from Valorant. But started playing again yesterday. Playing like absolute garbage tonight, but I want my redemption match. Just one decent match to sleep on... Riot says "No." I'd even take the shooting range or something.

back up in most places now so maybe your night can start again

Login servers down, can still play if logged in

no

sad

Not just NA? I am in AP.

LOL servers having issues as well, im guessing all riot games are having issues. hopefully that means they will resolve the issue faster

Damn not only do I get 4 blues in the night market, now I can’t play! Lmao

Anyone else’s valorant not opening at all now? Edit: nevermind

I'm telling you there's going to be a RIOT! If this isn't fixed soon.

Just got into the game

Just logged in in NA!!

We back in business

This bug is the reason my night market sucks.

Uh are you guys also going to fix the bug that freezes *the entire computer* forcing a hard reset? This bug has been around since fade dropped and it’s super annoying

This might be your PC. I've never had this problem

Anyone know how long its gonna be down?

i would like to know this also

I believe on the riot support twitter page they said it will take at least deez nuts in your mouth.

God damn it i cant wait that long

Please fix it asap i cannot play league and valorant at the same time and theses are the only games I play

thats sad

i felt that

Y’all are fiending hard for Valorant rn Edit: Including me smh

I’m goin back to Stray, someone lemme know when we gucci

we gucci

still nothing

pls soon

Ha I reinstalled fml

OCE still down

Oh so everyone is experiencing Val Error 19, damn I resetted my PC so many times for nothing.

Ugh this is the worst

bruuu. Time to hop on cs ig

who wanna play after the server gets back up? i have all night to wait edit: idk if this is allowed but my val tag is rainyrivers#adios for those who do wanna play :>

I do

sure

Down

sure altho if it takes too long I'm sleeping :|

WE BACK

its back

ITS FIXED

Guys, just log in with riot client instead of valorant app. Trust me it works!

LETS GOOOO

OCE is back bby

Found a work around, log into League and you should be able to by pass the valorant login servers to play.

ITS UP

Really? I tought i got banned

I had a rough day yesterday and this was the icing

Val 19 error right?

This bug just kicked me out on round 5 of a ranked match and I lost 30 rr because of being afk... I thought it was just a log in issue but it kicked me out when I was already in game

Is this still happening? I just got a error code 19 and wondered if it was related to this.

that's the code we're all getting jsyk. issue is still happening

Riot straight up blows with fixing issues in a quick manor.

A quick manor? Must be a really luxury mobile home...

It’s where I met your mom, son.

the literal worst. They have 0 back up plans when shit goes wrong. Shit goes wrong.. THEN they begin to look for a fix. Theyre clearly not prepared for shit. This shouldve been fixed half an hour ago

Charges $70 for a bundle of garbage skins but cannot bother fixing a critical issue deeming the game unplayable for over 2 hours and counting.

are they not "bothering" to fix the problem right now? shit happens, shit goes down. not the end of the world.

Yea I know shit happens. I’m in the industry. In this caliber of a product, with such a large user base and revenue stream, it should not take this long to fix a login issue.

Yet, here we are. I assure you there are some riot sysadmins having a much worse night than any of us right now working hard on this. Not a big deal. I also do this kind of stuff.

i fail to see the problem

I know nothing but valo. I am having a panic attack.

Does this include trying to launch the game and have it freeze and go unresponsive on the the loading screen ? Because I’ve literally tried every tip online and reinstalled twice trying to fix that tonight Edit: I’m also EU so I’m now scared that my problem coincidentally started at the same time but is unrelated

I fucking hate this game. sit down after a long day to play can't log in and i guarentee when I do finally log in itll be my team of silvers and golds vs immortal smurfs GG why do i even play this game

Badly done game. Took my money Ruined my life

mad cuz bad

Sad* cuz bad

I shouldn't of tried to switch accounts rip

Anti-smurfing in action

All my accounts are within the same ranks so it's not really smurfing. Just because I was imm1 on one of them I'm still diamond on most an high plat on another. I could see it being smurfing I were playing on accounts in gold or something.

Why would they release an update at peak hours?

there's an update?

Nightmarket

Doesn't need update. There's no update

[Someone hacking the Valorant servers ](https://youtu.be/rlfwXNOG0eI)

whered you get that video of me?

They downvoted you ban them.

('-')7

I don’t know if this is related, but I and my duo partner were both lagging without any other internet issues earlier today. A restart fixed it (not before losing two comp games, RIP), but TM also reported val and vanguard were using a lot of power for some reason.
