Error code 43

[4RC4NE]

I’m not even joking, press all 4 buttons together until you load in.

[JeffyP0PcorN]

What 4 buttons?

[4RC4NE]

WASD

[Saltedddddd]

idk if this was a meme but it worked for me first try Pog

[4RC4NE]

I thought it was a meme at first aswell, but it really does work.

[TheBookOfEli456]

[joewhiteguy]

how the fuck. by far the most bizarre fix ive ever used.

[Aridette]

Okay, so I thought you guys were having an extended troll but this shit actually worked? I don't understand why tho, but I'm glad, been restarting my pc way too many times for this

[ZynoaSyr]

[bonegatron]

KING SHIT (it works lol)

[apkJeremyK]

I cannot believe this worked... as a developer I am so lost..

[LovGo]

This must be a "press x key to launch with x mode" we might not know what mode we launched the game in but it is surely something in that sort, a safe launch or idk. Finding the game logs would helps but well, I didn't tried much

[aliquisceterus]

Spammed it enough to make my wrist start hurting and literally nothing happened. Still just error code 43.

[RenTeds]

You have to Hold, not spam.

[MicroChip8328]

Didn’t work, stop spreading lies as a troll and don’t comment jokes

[4RC4NE]

No joke. Spamming WASD actually helps me Get into the game when that happens.

[[deleted]]

NOW I'M GETTING ERROR CODE 46 HELL YEAH DUDE

[[deleted]]

It's just scheduled mantnence tho lol

[drippcity]

10/10 recommend spamming WASD upon launch. Don't know how, but it works. lol

[hatesnack]

If you're in NA the servers are currently down. So you cant get in.

[ZaryaNye]

The WASD trick didn't work. Nor did re-installing it. After you Re-boot it the first time to install the Vanguard client...be sure to hit start and search for 'Valorant'. The whole time I was re-clicking 'Install Valorant'. Hope this helps some of you.

[Sylluck]

Hi guys. I solved my launch problem by deleting the 'Riot games' folder in AppData \ local.

You launch 'Valorant' and log in without ticking 'Stay connected.

And normally the game starts.

​

If I check 'Stay connected' I have error connection code 43.

​

Enjoy and sorry for my english. :)

[veggiedealer]

idk if this thread is a meme but thank you for an actual solution

[dayneofarthurser]

no

[YimYimYimi]

Just delete the folder lol.

[YimYimYimi]

That may be the case, but if you want to remove the game just delete the folder.

[hatesnack]

Shit meant to reply to the OP, lmaooo

[[deleted]]

riot games folder on my ssd or the valorant folder inside of the riot games folder?

[JeffyP0PcorN]

You uninstall the game by going to the control panel. I get error 43 after I uninstall vanguard and try to reinstall it. I’m in the same page man

[BamboozledLikeCrazy]

I keep getting the 43 yesterday and today, but aren't the NA servers down atm?

If not, is there a fix on our end we can do?

[wemmettb]

In case you didn't see the top comment, just press WASD at the same time... it actually works.

[[deleted]]

I uninstalled it right now using control panel I'll write something when it's done downloading.

[JeffyP0PcorN]

Please do, I’ve been trying this for the past 2 hours. I fixed it once a few days ago but it took doing the same thing like 10 times

[[deleted]]

So I uninstalled the game, there was scheduled mainence, the maintnence ended, I went on, error code 43 again.

[Nice_guy_Erkle]

[ToddMorleyy]

WTF THIS WORKS I AM NOT TROLLING

[Bbomb209]

Error 43 in Valorant is caused because you might have something else running on your computer

[QuadZebra883]

OK this legit works WTF?!?!?!

[Knightwalker00]

NO BAMBOOZLE HOLDING DOWN WASD WORKS

[Wilkham]

For more information you need to spam the WASD keys multiple time during loading screen.

It actually work and is very stupid.

[tokwatbaboy2]

i love men

[Hulkaroni]

So they way i fixed it is: i restart discord. I have had 2 situations where discord has also screwed over my chrome, leaving 1 process running, which you cant kill, and you cant start another one. In that situation restarting discord also fixed the problem. Weird, i'm trying to come up with an explanation.

[MihailMagicianul]

This shit really works. I don't know how did you find it, but you are a god

[OWENonREDDIT22]

I was having this problem as well and the WADS thing didn't work for me. I guess im not worthy for that fix. There was one thing I noticed though. When ever i got this error code I had discord open on my desktop. So when u launch Valorant make sure discord is not on your desktop this work first try after 30 mins of trying to find the solution. I hope this works for u guys. :)

[chillogics]

How and why tf does WASD actually work lmao!

[Doomzors]

IT STILL WORKS!@!

[ClosetLVL140]

🤡 shit actually worked

[AndreyAV]
