1. Flush Your DNS
Flushing the DNS settings is a simple and effective method to eliminate the VAN 54 error. The Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names into IP addresses, and if the DNS cache becomes corrupted or outdated, it can cause network issues. By flushing your DNS, you can clear the cache and potentially resolve the VAL 62 error as well.
Here’s how to do it:
- Open the command prompt as an administrator (type CMD in the search bar, right-click, and select “Run as administrator”).
- Confirm permission by clicking “Yes.”
- Type
ipconfig /flushdnsand press Enter. - Verify the message “Successfully flushed the DNS resolver cache.”
- Close the window and check if the VAN 54 error persists.
2. Restart VALORANT
Another troubleshooting step is to completely close VALORANT and then restart it. Simply right-click on your taskbar, select ‘Task Manager,’ locate ‘VALORANT’ in the ‘Processes’ tab, right-click on it, and choose ‘End Task.’ After that, restart VALORANT to see if the error has been resolved.
3. Check Your Internet Connection
An unstable or weak internet connection can often be the culprit behind error code 54. Test your connection using different online services or reboot your modem and router if necessary. Make sure no bandwidth-intensive downloads are running and disconnect any active VPN connections that may be causing disruptions.
4. Contact Riot Support
If none of the above solutions work, your best course of action is to reach out to Riot Games support for assistance with the VAN 54 error. The support team will analyze your log files to identify the root cause of the issue and provide personalized guidance. Submit a ticket through the official website and communicate with them until the problem is resolved.
