We know that Windows 11 has had its justifiable share of issues with new-age games. Many players reported a recent error with Valorant that seems to have troubled everyone. Most players are also facing an error called VAN 1067. This issue is related to Windows 11’s requirements for TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot. In this article, we will show you how to fix this issue on your PC.
VAN 1067 error code in Valorant: Fixes & Workarounds
Try the following fixes and workarounds-
Checking PC Health
First, you must download the Windows 11 PC Health Check app from the official site. It will automatically start downloading. Click the Download button in the top-left, if the download doesn’t start. Run the PC Health Check app on your PC by double-clicking on the downloaded file. Click the Check Now button. If your PC is compatible with Windows 11, you will get a message with a green tick. Meanwhile, if your PC is not compatible with Windows 11 you will get a message with a red cross, indeed.
Selecting Windows UEFI in BIOS
You will need to open BIOS settings. To open BIOS, go to Settings > System > Recovery > Advanced startup > Restart Now. From the “Choose an Option” screen, navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > UEFI Firmware Settings and then click “Restart”. You will then see the BIOS settings screen. Select Windows UEFI in the OS type option in your BIOS menu. Normally, this option will be set to other OS as older BIOS versions can’t detect Windows 11 properly. Meanwhile, once you have selected Windows UEFI in your BIOS menu, VAN 1067 issue should have been fixed by now, and Valorant should be up and running on your system again as usual.
Resetting Secure Boot Keys
This is one of the best workarounds that can fix the VAN 1067 error. Secure Boot Keys helps determine and confirm signatures for different devices and software features on your systems. Secure Boot Keys can be reset from the BIOS for a fresh start very easily. In the BIOS menu find Secure Boot and make sure to enable it, disabling it can cause VAN 1067 error on some systems. Hence, you should immediately reset them in your BIOS menu.
Disabling CSM
We recommend you disable CSM on your system if your motherboard has CSM capability. Possibilities are that while installing Windows 11 you have already done this. This change gets reverted after executing major updates on some motherboards. In the BIOS menu, you must disable CSM at the earliest to fix VAN 1067 error and for a smooth Valorant playing experience.
Closing Discord
There is another culprit that is causing issues for some users. Many people using Discord reported that it is causing VAN 1067 error while playing Valorant. We recommend you close the Discord app and try to launch the game again. By all means, disable autostart for Discord, and then restart your system. The VAN 1067 error must be fixed by now if it was caused by Discord.
Changing the Startup Type
First, force close Valorant from your task manager. And then open your Windows Run. Here you have to execute a command- services.msc and it will show all the Windows services. Now, here you can locate the service name called vgc and simply double click on it. Now try to change the startup type to “Automatic” and click to start this service. Don’t forget to save these changes. Now, close all the windows and restart your PC once. hen try to launch that Valorant. Now, you will notice this time it won’t show that previously occurred VAN 1067 error message.
Updating to latest Windows
Some users have managed to fix the VAN 1067 error by pointing out Windows bugs with recent Windows updates. However, if you are still facing this error and are unable to play Valorant then, updating Windows is worth a shot.
