The emergence of a “party not ready” error in Valorant has been a significant nuisance for players ever since its release in 2020. Alas, this game is not free from its flaws. The “party not ready” error message can be encountered while attempting to join a party or queue for a match, and it does not provide any hint on what the issue is or how to resolve it. In this article, we will discuss some of the reasons why this error may occur, and we will provide a step-by-step guide on how to fix this aggravating issue.
Reasons for the Party Not Ready Error In Valorant
Let’s start by understanding why the party not ready error occurs in Valorant. This error can be attributed to several reasons, such as server issues, outdated game versions, and internet connection issues. Since Valorant is an online game, it relies heavily on servers to function correctly. Any disruption in the servers can lead to the party not ready error. Similarly, if party members have different versions of the game, it may result in this error.
Valorant: How To Fix Party Not Ready Error
Now that we have established why this issue may arise let’s delve into how to fix it. The first step in resolving this issue is to check if the problem is due to server problems. You can do this by visiting the official Riot Games Support Twitter account (@RiotSupport) and looking for any recent tweets regarding server issues. If there are no server problems, proceed to the next step.
Next, you should exit the game and check for updates. To do this, right-click on your taskbar, click on task manager, and locate all processes starting with Riot. Next, right-click on all the processes that start with “Riot” and click on ‘End Task’. Then, restart the game and check if the issue has been resolved.
If the issue persists, try staying in the queue without quitting the game. Waiting in the queue may result in loading into the champion select lobby, resolving the issue. Another solution could be flushing your DNS, which can fix potential issues with how your internet is configured. To do this, you need to press the Windows key and type “Command Prompt.” Then, hover on the first app result and click on “Run as Administrator.” You should now see a new window with a black screen. Type “ipconfig /flushdns” and press Enter, followed by “ipconfig /registerdns,” “ipconfig /release,” “ipconfig /renew,” and “netsh winsock reset.” Finally, restart your computer and check if the issue has been resolved.
In conclusion, the “party not ready” error can be a significant annoyance in Valorant. However, with these steps, you can fix it and continue enjoying the game with your friends. Remember to remain calm and patient, as resolving the issue may take some time.
