Riot Games’ hugely popular first-person shooter, Valorant, has seen its fair share of issues from time to time. Recently, a common issue tormenting players has been ‘Valorant error: Could not enter matchmaking.’ This error prevents players from joining games, which can be quite frustrating. However, there are several tried and tested ways players can fix this issue.
Firstly, **Riot Games officially suggests restarting the Valorant client** to address this problem. Given that many game errors are transient and resolve themselves after a fresh start, this is a good first step to try. Another solution might involve checking your internet connectivity. A poor or unstable internet connection can often cause this error. Restarting your modem or switching to a wired connection could help.
In some cases, this error could also be due to a larger issue with Riot’s game servers. In such cases, there is little the user can do other than wait for Riot Games to fix it. Players can check Valorant’s server status online to see if there are any ongoing issues. Additionally, sometimes updating your graphics driver or **reinstalling the game** may solve the problem. Remember, a clean install involves completely removing the game and then downloading it again from the official Riot Games website. Here’s hoping that these solutions enable Valorant’s vast global community to swiftly get back into the game.
