Valorant Update Stuck 0.01 Kbps

Players of Valorant may encounter the frustrating issue of their game updates getting stuck at a measly 0.01 KBps. This slowdown can occur whether updating the game from a previous version or attempting a fresh installation. In this situation, the game is unable to progress, leaving players unable to launch and enjoy Valorant.

This problem can arise from various sources, making it difficult to identify a single cause. Fortunately, resolving these issues often involves straightforward solutions. Many players may find relief by executing a series of simple troubleshooting steps, effectively addressing the root of the update problem.

How to Resolve Valorant Update Stuck at 0.01 KB/s

Encountering an issue where the Valorant update stalls at a mere 0.01 KB/s can be bothersome. Here’s a series of short yet practical measures to help remedy the situation:

• Allow Some Time: Sometimes the update appears to be stalled when the Riot Client is busy with internal operations like file installation. Frequently, this resolves in a few minutes, so patience might do the trick.
• Restart the Riot Client: Close and make sure you properly exit the Riot Client from the system tray. Once closed, open it again to attempt the Valorant download anew.
• Reboot Your Computer: If restarting the client doesn’t solve your problem, try rebooting your computer altogether. After the reboot, attempt to relaunch the game's update.
• Temporarily Disable Antivirus: Antivirus software can sometimes interfere with installations. Consider turning off your antivirus temporarily while the update proceeds. Remember to turn it back on afterward for security.
• Modify DNS Settings: Another approach involves altering the DNS server settings:
  1. Open the Control Panel.
  2. Navigate to Network and Internet > Network & Sharing Center.
  3. Choose Change Adapter Settings from the menu.
  4. Right-click your network adapter and select Properties.
  5. Find and select Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6).
  6. Click on Properties and choose “Use the following DNS server addresses”.
  7. Enter DNS addresses such as 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
  8. Save your changes by hitting OK.

These steps aid in addressing the common situation where a Valorant update grinds to a halt at 0.01 KB/s. Should these efforts not yield success, it might be beneficial to seek assistance from Riot Support for further guidance.
