Error code 43 fix

Error code 43 is one of the more abundant errors that players jumping into Valorant have been running into. Basically, this error means that the game client has timed out connecting to the Riot Games servers. This could happen for a number of reasons.

First, if you experience error code 43, you should try restarting your computer. This can clear out the bad connections that you had with the client by completely resetting it. Once you do that, try to make sure your computer is connected to the internet by heading to a website or launching an application that requires internet access. If everything works correctly here, try connecting to the game as well.

If you continue to experience error code 43, then the Riot Games servers are probably having issues. Unfortunately, the only thing you can really do when this happens is stay patient and wait for things to clear up. Keep your eyes glued to the Riot Games Support Twitter account for the most recent updates and be sure to continue trying to connect to the game once the servers are back up and running.

Valorant will no doubt continue to stabilize over the coming weeks, so don’t be too let down by the issues that you’re running into right now. All online games launch with a few hitches, and we’re sure that Riot will do their best to clear things up before too long.
