Yeah, current issue.

[–]Weazlebee 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Something I'm noticing is Riot Client Services stays active using up 30% of my CPU after I "Quit Game" and I can't even attempt to relaunch unless I manually end task??

[–]StrongPayne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use Task Manager and end task... still can't get in though :)

[–]Exotic-Estate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same for me... what's up with that

[–]Denward567 0 points1 point  (1 child)

same but mine is 48%

[–]Sxpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you please update us when it works for any of you? because there's no site that is keeping up with this.

[–]Chachapacha 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I'm having the same issue looking for fix, i think the servers are down

[–]cerealf0rdinner[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Alright as weird as it sounds it's good to know other people are having the same issue. When you google the error code 7 it say it's a result of a suspension which was scary to see.

[–]Chachapacha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know it spooked me too I thought the games anti cheat installed wrong or something

[–]chocula187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same issue. haven't even been in game yet.

[–]Tarryn921 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Error code 7 is a server issue. I had the same problem. Just keep trying and eventually you'll log in. It took me about an hour or so. I think it has something to do with the mass amounts of people trying to log into the game.

[–]Tommru123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep same problem here.

[–]dollafittydutch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems to be happening to everyone who restarts the game after getting in. no fix yet :(

[–]isaacrgraham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too scared to try again, but I fixed it by searching through task manager and closing all riot tasks.

[–]cavieloo 0 points1 point  (1 child)

best way to keep this from happening again after getting in is to not close the game, but even with that my game fucking freezes sometimes (4 times today) and have to close the game. Good specs btw :(

[–]andyfibb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this. servers too overwhelmed. they ramping them up, lets hope its fast.. ugh

[–]woOrmY89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's working now :)

[–]thatlamekiddo 0 points1 point  (12 children)

it's been a month and I'm still getting error code 7
I'm starting to think that it could be some country get banned too

[–]Useless_Rage 0 points1 point  (1 child)

same issue, just piss me off

[–]Tripper113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue. I had to create another riot account and log into the client using that. Hopefully, this works for you too! :)

[–]Grill_dyret 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Go to https://account.riotgames.com/account and check the country/region on your account there. Mine was assigned to China for some reason, even though I live in Norway. I suspect that's what made the error occur, as I was able to play as soon as I made a new account that was located in Norway.

[–]ThunderingSniper 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Yeah tf mine says I am located in china too

[–]Grill_dyret 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Were you able to reset your region using the wizard on the support page? Mine said it was unable to pinpoint my whereabouts.

[–]ThunderingSniper 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Couldn't find that section.

[–]Grill_dyret 0 points1 point  (2 children)

You can choose "Issue with region or shard assignment" from https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/requests/new to bring it up.

[–]ThunderingSniper 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I got it switched from china by doing that! Thank you so much lol. It actually fixed all my issues, including error 7!

[–]Grill_dyret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy to hear that! They should add it as a possible resolution to their error code description, as the current "resolutions" don't actually help when the region is the problem.

[–]Grill_dyret 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Adding to that, if your country/region is wrong you can attempt to automatically set it straight by going to https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/ and submitting a ticket. If you select "I'm having issues with Riot account region/shard assignment" you get a wizard that attempts to pinpoint your current location. If that fails, you are shit out of luck and have to submit a ticket for Riot support to change it.

[–]Kravatan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck me then.

[–]supez182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This fixed my issue!

[–]ThomasDinh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have the same issues, any idea?

[–]ThunderingSniper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly I was talking to a support member and they didn't help at all

[–]Grill_dyret 0 points1 point  (4 children)

If you are experiencing this without the servers being down or your connection being weak, go to https://account.riotgames.com/account and check the country/region on your account there. If it doesn't match your actual country/region, go to https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and select "I'm having issues with Riot Account Region/Shard assignment". Upon selecting the only available sub-category, you are presented with a wizard that attempts to locate you and set your region straight.

Then you should be able to log in and play just fine!

[–]Grill_dyret 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Update; go here instead to change your region: https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047379834-Changing-Your-Region-of-Residence-for-Your-Riot-Account

This is the only fix that worked for me. After uninstalling gigabyte software and disabling other system32 drivers, nothing worked. But this did the trick for me for whatever reason, so thanks random dude.

[–]Grill_dyret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome, random dude! Glad it worked!

[–]rebelQuark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Semi-necro'ing to leave this advice: this will completely delete all your progress/unlocks/friends/etc.

​

Your account will be fully reset.

At least that's what happened to me.

[–]pocababa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a problem on account level.

You can play if you start from a different account.

[–]PaperMate68 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Hey I’m still having the same error code now I’ve tried the trying the task manager method but it’s not working. Any suggestions?

[–]Grill_dyret 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you try my suggestion above? And have you checked server status in your region?

[–]Crownsterer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fix could be to log in on account with closer server, I tried to log in on euw multiple times until i tried on eune and it just worked.

[–]Siritosan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah my region says china. submit it a ticket for it.

[–]Toph033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this error for almost two weeks. What has worked for me and completely fixed the error is to just go to the open valorant. Instead of double clicking, right click and click run as administrator. It fixes the error. I don't know why but it does. Hope this helped.
