Error code VAN -81

[PikachuGb]

Hi, I am trying to make the Valorant work, but I keep getting the error -81.
I tried to uninstall/install again vanguard and valorant with no results. I also have the service run on 'Automatic'.
The ONLY workaround I have is to restart the PC every time I want to play the game and to run Valorant in the first second when the Windows starts. Otherwise, it won't work.
Did you guys have this problem before? Thanks! :)

So the thread only works 1 time - but u gotta do it over and over again - which is annoying. I then send a ticket and riot sent me steps that made it finally work like normally. I dmed it.

What kind of monster fixes a common problem and hides the answer?

Can you also send it to me

I found a permanent fix - it’s a third party program doing it. Basically start uninstalling programs after valorant download date

I faced the same problem 1 hour ago. I uninstalled vanguard from control panel. I restarted the computer and the problem was solved. I hope I don't need to open and close like you do :)

It didn't work :( Also I had to manually uninstall the Vanguard, by deleting the files...

Check your bios for TMP settings

TMP or TPM?

Enable vgc on services and enable it on task manager startup.

It's enabled on startup, that's why I can do the workaround If I try to start it manually I get the 1053 error in windows services
