Its valorant and its built in anticheat [Admin - removed]
[Admin - removed all-caps]
Resurrecting this old thread because I'm having this exact issue - only since this latest season though. I've disabled Valorant's service and still no luck. I've done several repairs of the game to no avail, even uninstalled/reinstalled. Tried both through Steam and the EA app with identical symptoms. It rarely works, but when it does I can play a match or two before getting kicked again.
Running Win11 with Microsoft Defender antivirus. Both anti-cheat and Apex folders have been excluded from AV with no effect - same behavior whether the folders are excluded or not.
Same issue since last week, hope someone will come up with fix.
this is annoying
