Fix Valorant VAN 1067: Valorant Connection Error VAN 1067: Troubleshooting Guide (Valorant)

The Valorant VAN 1067 error code is a frequent connectivity and security-related issue that primarily affects players on Windows 11. As a Senior IT Technician, I have identified that this error is triggered by Riot Vanguard when the system fails to meet specific hardware security protocols or when there is a conflict with essential system services.

🧐 Causes

This error is almost always linked to the security features required by the Vanguard anti-cheat system to ensure a fair play environment. The most common triggers include:

• Secure Boot is disabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings.
• Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 is not active or recognized by the operating system.
• The VGC service, which powers Vanguard, has failed to start or is set to manual.
• Conflicts with background applications like Discord or third-party antivirus software.

🔧 Fixes

To resolve the VAN 1067 error, follow these technical procedures in the order listed below:

• Enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot: Restart your PC and enter the BIOS (usually by pressing Del, F2, or F12). Locate the Security or Boot tab and ensure TPM 2.0 (or PTT/FTPM) is set to “Enabled” and Secure Boot is turned on. Save and exit to apply changes.
• Restart the VGC Service: Press Win + R, type “services.msc,” and press Enter. Find the “vgc” service in the list, right-click it, and select Properties. Set the Startup Type to “Automatic” and click “Start” if it is currently stopped.
• Reset BIOS to Factory Defaults: If settings appear correct but the error persists, enter your BIOS and select the option to “Load Optimized Defaults.” After doing this, re-verify that Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 are still active.
• Disable Discord Overlay: Open Discord settings, go to the Game Overlay section, and toggle “Enable in-game overlay” to the off position, as this software can sometimes interfere with Vanguard’s initialization process.
