Riot Games Update Caused VAL 85 Error and Drops That Ruin Ranked Matches
Ever since the latest update from Riot Games, my game has become nearly unplayable. My PC constantly throws a VAL 85 error, crashing mid-match and kicking me out—especially during ranked games, which leads to unfair losses and a drop in rank I worked hard for.
This isn’t just a one-time issue. It happens regularly, and I know I’m not alone. Friends and other players I’ve spoken to are experiencing the same problem—frequent game crashes, FPS drops, and even random ping spikes that never existed before. It’s clear this update broke more than it fixed.
Riot Games, you need to address this immediately. Players are losing progress, rank, and patience. Roll out a fix, communicate clearly, and take responsibility for the technical issues your updates are causing. We deserve a stable and fair gaming experience.
