VALORANT VAN 84 Error Fixes
Restart your WiFi router
The VAN 84 error often stems from an unreliable network or server issues. If you’re using an unstable internet connection, try restarting your WiFi router. This simple step can fix common errors, including VAL 62, that may be causing the issue.
Change your DNS server
Your default DNS server may be slow or unreliable, impacting your connection quality. To address this, follow these steps to select a faster and more stable DNS server:

- Repeat the Ping for 8.8.8.8 and compare.
- Open settings, click on Network and Internet, then Ethernet.
- Click “Edit DNS server assignment,” select “Manual.”
- Turn on IPv4 if off.
- In Preferred DNS, add the DNS server with the lowest ping.
- For alternative DNS, use 100.1.1.1 if using 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.4.4 if using 8.8.8.8.
- Click “Save” and relaunch VALORANT.
