VALORANT is one of the best tactical shooters out there. Since the meta relies on communication, it’s only natural you’d want to play with friends.

Valorant Unable to Join Party : How to Fix

It’s easier to communicate with people you know and trusts than with random kids that seem to be in the middle of a family argument, a dog barking competition, and a music festival. So, failing to get your squad can be very annoying for your Valorant experience.

Some players are unable to join parties in Valorant, however. Let’s see why that is and how you can potentially fix it. This problem can have many layers, so read our guide all the way through.

Unable To Join Party in Valorant

The most common cause of this problem is your account is located in a different region than the account of the person that invited you to the party. If your account is registered in Europe and your friend is registered in North America, you won’t be able to play Valorant together. You can solve that by switching your account to the same region. This isn’t possible while the game is in the beta stage.

You can check your region by opening up the Riot Games website and logging into your Riot account. When you do that successfully, you’ll see another screen containing information about the account you just logged into. You’ll see your Email Address, Password, and your region. Make sure your region is the same as the people you’re playing. It can be a pain to adjust everything.

Potentially, you can be set up in the wrong region. Your friends may be living in the same city or building, but as far as Valorant is concerned, your accounts are on different continents. To fix that, you may need to contact Riot support.

While on the same screen, click on Support, select Valorant, then Submit a ticket, and press “Technical issues: Install, patch, lag, or crash.” Then explain your issues. Wait to be contacted by support. Usually, they will fix the problem.

Why is This Happening in Valorant?

The game’s system of selecting regions is automated. When it picks your region, you can be placed on another continent. This is due to the overload of servers or simply a bug on the part of the algorithm. In any case, contacting support is the easiest way to fix the issue.

Being able to play with your friends isn’t the main issue. Having an account on a different continent will cause connectivity issues and lag, which is not advisable when playing any online shooter. It’s best to fix that problem sooner rather than later, as not only your enjoyment gets ruined. Playing against laggy opponents is not fun.
