“Error Code: 62” in VALORANT typically means there’s a problem connecting to Riot’s platform services — often due to platform downtime, network issues, or client corruption.
This can be caused by various factors, including a slow or unstable internet connection, server-side problems, or interference from your firewall or antivirus software.
✅ Step-by-Step Fix Guide
🔁 1. Restart Your PC and Router
Fully shut down your PC, then restart it.
Power cycle your router/modem (unplug for 30 seconds, then plug back in).
Launch VALORANT again.
🌐 2. Check Riot Server Status
Make sure the issue isn’t on Riot’s side:
Select your region and check for any platform issues or maintenance.
If servers are down, you’ll have to wait.
🔧 3. Run VALORANT as Administrator

Choose “Run as administrator.”
This helps bypass permission-related issues.
