How to Fix VALORANT Version Mismatch Error

Riot’s VALORANT receives regular updates that bring gameplay changes or simply serve as a fix to the game. But sometimes, these updates can cause unintended problems in the form of bugs or errors. The VALORANT Version Mismatch error is one such unintended side-effect. Here’s How to fix the VALORANT Version mismatch error. 

The VALORANT Version Mismatch error occurs when the player runs a version that is different from the one the server is running. As such there are a few simple fixes that usually solve this problem. The VALORANT Version Mismatch error is nothing to worry about.

The first step is to update your game. If you read the reason for this error code you will realize the solution is usually very simple. You need to be on the server game version that the server is running. Sometimes the game might launch without updating and that is when the server senses a version mismatch. 

In most cases, this will solve your issue. However, if the problem persists then we have a few more steps for you to go through. 

If you are playing in a party, ask your teammates to also update the game on their end. 

The second solution is to restart your PC. Restarting the game flushes the RAM and clears temporary files which might have led to the error persisting despite updating the game.

The final step is obviously to reinstall VALORANT. You can uninstall VALORANT and then download it again. 

Here are the steps to uninstall VALORANT. You can then install it again once you have already uninstalled the game.

If these steps do not fix your issue, we recommend you wait for a few hours. It’s most likely a server issue at this point and Riot Games should fix the issue shortly.
