VALORANT has had a series of updates to introduce new agents, game modes, and map changes. The addition of Harbor and the changes to Fracture have changed the meta in the VALORANT scene, with people still trying to grasp how to play the new character.

The error has been leading to players copping bans for leaving.
Countless players have been experiencing this error, leading users to believe that they’ve been banned.
