3. Now, navigate to the Compatibility tab, tick the checkbox for Run this program as an administrator, and click OK to save the changes.
4. Finally, launch Valorant and verify whether Val error 59 disappears. 

2. Repair Valorant’s game files

While you could manually choose another IP address from the network adapter settings and fix the Val 59 error code in Valorant, we recommend letting the OS handle the task to avoid misconfiguration. And we have used Google’s DNS, but you can use the fastest DNS server in your location.
