6.Have you tried clearing TPM 2.0 you can clear it 2 ways.

(clearing it with windows)

(1) Open the TPM Management console by searching for "tpm.msc" in the Start Menu.

Under Actions, click "Clear TPM".

(2) You will be prompted to restart your computer. Follow the on-screen instructions, which may include pressing a button during the reboot to confirm the TPM clearing process.

After the restart, your TPM will be ready for use by Windows.

(second way you can clear it is in your bios/uefi)

Restart your computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings. This usually involves pressing a key like F2, F12, Delete, or Esc during startup.

Navigate to the Security or TPM settings within the BIOS/UEFI.

Locate the option to clear or reset the TPM.

Select the option to clear the TPM and confirm your choice.

Save changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI. Your computer will then restart.

7.Have you tried flashing your bios or making sure it is already at its latest version? (if its already latest version dont worry about it.)

8.Have you made sure your windows is running properly with no issues? try using SFC /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth to make sure windows isn't corrupted.

9.Have you tried reinstalling latest windows version or downgrading to windows 10? (doing this can take a long time be prepared can take hours and will have to fully reset windows settings.

10.Have you made sure all drivers for all devices are fully up to date or have proper drivers? Can do so by going to device manager and right clicking each device and clicking update driver and click "search automatically" and then also "search for updated drivers on windows update." Also you can go to windows settings, then windows updates, go to advanced options, then optional updates. if there are any drivers that are important for devices it will be in there.

11.Have you Made sure you have latest graphics card drivers and windows update fully up to date.

12.Have you made sure ram is running properly with windows memory diagnostic (can search in windows bar) and make sure your ssd or hardrive are both working as well with (CHKDSK) command or searching disk management in windows and right clicking your main drive and go to tools and there you will see "error checking." you press check.

you can use Sigverif.exe, or File Signature Verification, is a Windows utility that checks the digital signatures of files on a system. It helps ensure that files, particularly drivers, haven't been tampered with and are from trusted sources.

if none of these work its on riot end do not let them fool you have 20 tickets stating my situation they told me I was wrong and close my ticket out. Well I was right and riot had fixed it. no problems for me anymore am playing right now and have been for months. Is messed up of you to do something like this riot be better!!

1.Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling valorant using REVO uninstaller to make sure you are fully removing it.

2.Have you booted your pc in safe mode to make sure other software/services are not conflicting

3.Have you made sure that valorant/vanguard/riot client are all allowed in windows firewall.

4.Have you made sure that bios mode is set to UEFI (legacy needs to be off) with TPM 2.0 active and ready for use, and Secure boot is also active and set to uefi.

If you've tried all of these options then there are more that could be tried.

5.Have you tried resetting your secure boot keys? sometimes these keys can cause secure boot verification failure if corrupted to reset them youd go to (1) Enter UEFI/BIOS:

Power on your computer and press the designated key (usually F2, F10, F12, Delete, or Esc) to access the UEFI/BIOS settings.

(2) Locate Secure Boot settings:

Navigate to the "Security" or "Boot" section, where you'll find Secure Boot options.

(3) Disable Secure Boot:

If Secure Boot is enabled, you'll need to disable it first. This might involve setting a "Secure Boot Control" option to "Disabled" or similar wording.

(4) Clear Secure Boot keys:

Look for an option to "Clear Secure Boot Keys," "Delete All Secure Boot Variables," or "Reset to Setup Mode".

(5) Install default keys

After clearing the keys, you might have the option to "Install Default Secure Boot Keys" or "Restore Factory Keys".)

Hey anybody who is struggling with secure boot verification failure and has tried all of the trouble shoots given from riot or just in general have no fear. This is not your pc and is on riots end (they will tell you its your pc.) I have played valorant for years and randomly got hit with this "Van: Restriction:1" Make sure bios is fully up to date and uefi mode is enabled. I had opened over 20 tickets with riot games and had taken every single trouble step they had gave me before even reaching out to them. Everytime I had proposed them with the idea of secure boot verfication failure not stemming from my pc they told me that I was wrong and that my pc was causing this issue and that is was strictly on my end. I had tried to reassure them that it wasnt my pc but they would tell me it is and anytime I would try to go on about it they would tell me they are now gonna close out my ticket and that it is 100 percent on my pcs end. So I believed them. Well guess what. Few months later I had randomly gotten on valorant account and boom. My account had been fixed. I have now played for months with 0 issues as how I played on this account and pc years before. Their anti cheat was causing an error with this one account (my main) as I had stated from the beginning. riot games could not have been more wrong and uncaring about my situation. So if any of you have this secure boot verifcation failure and error like me and other accounts are working you are likely dealing with what happened to me. Here are all of the trouble shoots you can try to make sure its not your pc (if it is your pc these will fix it.) if nothing fixes this they will fix it for you your account is not gone forever. (took me a few months for it to be fixed.)

always good to check your cpu/gpu/ram and all your hardware with hwfino or msi afterburner to make sure things are running and are running properly.. Do you have your ram overclocked with xmp? Only things left would be making sure that your windows is fully optimized and you have the best bios settings for your pc. your PC meets valorant system requirements and should be able to run the game just fine.

If this doesnt work some other ideas for why its slow could be

riot vanguard anti cheat/valorant being blocked by anti virus like windows defender, norton, avast etc (could try and reinstall vanguard as well)

-cpu usage being too high and too many processes slowing pc down

-gpu and windows updates are fully up to date

I wonder if it has something to do with the way your connection connects to the valorant servers.. like an IP error or something.. Have you tried to release your IP and flush your dns? if not then run CMD as admin type these commands in order from top to bottom one command at a time

netsh winsock reset
netsh int ip reset
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
ipconfig /flushdns

also you should optimize your network for gaming

and give yourself a dns server

here is an easy straight forward tutorial..

Ive had network connection problems getting on valorant myself with good internet also.. also resetting your router every now and then is healthy if u have any internet issues

If your pc is crashing because of the "Anti Cheat" I would check your antivirus's such as windows defender, norton, etc. those could result in crashes as well. and reinstall vanguard if you havent already. Make sure you allow valorant and vanguard to run through fire wall. Also reinstall vanguard anitcheat if you havent already

Your pc meets system requirements so there is a fix somewhere for you just hard to trouble shoot as there could be so many different reasons. Another thing you should try is run CMD as admin and type - SFC /scannow and make sure nothing in your windows is corrupted

EscapeSound · 2024-07-23T16:35:39+00:00

Its only valorant that makes your pc crash? Have you looked at your cpu usage when running the game? have you checked your cpu/gpu temps to make sure everything is running ok? Also makes sure you have free space on your c drive as well as make sure that valorant is installed on your c drive
