Valorant has gained massive success in the online gaming community since releasing a few months ago. The first-person shooter from Riot Games has seen significant improvements after its closed beta release and it continues to grow bigger. However, Valorant has been susceptible to various bugs and errors which is actually common for an online video game that constantly evolves. Some of the Valorant errors can be quite frustrating at times as they may block access to the game when attempting to log or even during a live play session.
One of the most common Valorant errors you may encounter while booting the title is a message that reads “System time out.” This generally pops up on the screen when the game is having some kind of server maintenance. In some instances, there could also be some issues with the Valorant servers. Riot Games instructs users to restart the game client if they encounter this error message. It is, in fact, a common solution to a wide range of error messages that you may encounter at launch or in the middle of gameplay. And while that's quite an easy solution, some users may not necessarily be aware of how to actually restart the Valorant game client. So, let us find out how it is done.

The Valorant client is nothing but the game application.
