How to fix Valorant version mismatch error?

The Valorant version mismatch error occurs when players fire up the game without updating it. This might occur whenever a new patch has been released and can prevent players to queue for matches.

Players who are facing this issue in-game can follow these simple steps listed below:

  • Players need to exit the game
  • Now, they need to relaunch the Riot Client installed on their PC.
  • They will get a prompt to download the latest version
  • Once it’s updated to the latest version, players will be able to play the game again normally

However, there can be times when the version mismatch persists even after players update the game. In such cases, players should try to uninstall the game completely and reinstall a fresh copy.

A fresh installation will make sure all the necessary files are placed accordingly by the game’s client. Players should also note that updates go live in certain regions earlier. During that time, all they can do is wait for the update to become available in their region and then download it.
