The VAN 9001 error is a classic. First thing, try running Valorant as an admin. Right-click the game icon and select 'Run as administrator'. Sometimes it's just about giving it the keys to the kingdom. If that doesn't do the trick, check your Windows Firewall settings or any antivirus you've got running. They can get a bit overprotective and block Valorant from connecting properly. Lastly, a good old-fashioned reinstall can work wonders. Just make sure to backup any game settings or personal configs!
