The VALORANT closed beta went live today on April 7th and Twitch is blowing up with over 1 million people trying to get access. If you connect your Riot Games account to your Twitch account, you might get a rare drop that enables you to play in the VALORANT closed beta. For some of you lucky enough to get access, you might launch up your game in full anticipation only to get greeted by an annoying error 43 or one of the many other errors you can come across!

VALORANT staff tweeted that they were troubleshooting the Error 43 issue that many players were having and they even stopped handing out beta keys on Twitch until everything was fixed. Luckily the issue was resolved around around 6pm UTC and beta drops on Twitch were enabled again. Unfortunately there are several other error codes you can come across.

Luckily, the VALORANT staff provided an overview of all error codes and how to resolve them. You can find them directly below!
