VAN 9005 Error Code in Valorant is an issue that has been encountered by numerous players after the introduction of Update 7.0 in 2023. It is not caused by an internet connection or a server problem from either side but rather due to a few software settings.
To fix VAN 9005 Error Code in Valorant 2023, players are required to adjust their Virtualization-based Security or enable TPM 2.0 along with the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). Both are long processes that make the Valorant game compatible with your PC.
How To Fix VAN 9005 Error Code in Valorant 2023?
VAN 9005 Error Code in Valorant 2023 reads: “This build of Valorant is out of compliance with current system settings.” Here are three ways in which you can solve the issue.
Use Bios Key To Enable TPM 2.0
Each computer has a different BIOS key. To check your own BIOS key, search the same after typing the model of your computer (eg. ‘bios key for ASUS’). Use the BIOS key to open Settings and change TPM.
- Restart your PC. While it is in the process of restarting, hold the BIOS key.
- Navigate to the Boot section. In the menu, set ‘Boot Mode’ to UEFI.
- Go to the Security settings, then left-click Set Supervisor Password to make a password for the BIOS key. (if there is a password, you can directly toggle the TPM state.)
- After making a new password, toggle ‘Change TPM state’ enable. Go to the Exit section from the taskbar above and exit after saving the changes.
Toggle Off Virtualization-Based Security
Computers may not always support TPM and UEFI. To check, press together the Windows key + R key and bring up the Run box. Type “TPM.MSC” to check if the Windows TPM management tool opens.
Disabling Virtualization-Based Security can get rid of VAN 9005 Error Code in Valorant 2023:
- If you are using Windows 11, select Start and then use the Search bar to search for either ‘developer command prompt’ or ‘developer powershell.’
- Run the Visual Studio Code as an administrator. If needed, the VSC application can be installed on the computer.
- Enter the code: ‘bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off’ in front of the Windows C disc prompt. Press Enter after which the message “operation completed successfully” will be seen on the screen.
- Restart the computer to implement the changes.
Check if the VBS is still running by navigating to the System Information settings. If it is still operational, toggle off the ‘Memory Integrity’ setting from the Core Isolation menu. Restart the computer to implement the changes and then return to the Valorant application.
