Various types of errors have affected the game in the past, with the VAL 62 error becoming more common after the recent VALORANT EPI 9 Act 1 update. This error is reminiscent of the VAN 52 and VAN 69 errors from previous updates and usually occurs when players are on an older build of the game following an update.
Another scenario that could trigger a VAL 62 error in VALORANT is during a server maintenance period, preventing players from logging in and playing. In such cases, players may need to restart their system if the error persists while playing the game post-update.
If players are unable to update the game despite a new update being available, it may be due to temporary files hindering their connection to the VALORANT update servers. Players can follow the steps below to resolve the VAL 62 error in VALORANT:
- Click on the Windows button on the keyboard.
- Search for Command Prompt and select the first option.
- Run Command Prompt as an administrator.
- Confirm the action with a ‘yes’ on the pop-up window.
- In the new window with a black screen, type “ipconfig /flushdns” and press enter.
- Type “ipconfig /release” and press enter.
- Type “ipconfig /renew” and press enter.
- Type “netsh winsock reset” and press enter.
- Once all steps are completed, restart your PC or laptop.
To avoid encountering this error again in the future, players should regularly check VALORANT’s social media channels for any announcements regarding server maintenance in their region.
