VAN 1067
Riot Games Valorant
Severity: CriticalWhat Does This Error Mean?
VAN 1067 means Valorant's anti-cheat (Vanguard) requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot to be enabled. This is mandatory on Windows 11. You need to enable both in your BIOS/UEFI settings.
Affected Models
- PC (Windows 11)
Common Causes
- TPM 2.0 is disabled in BIOS
- Secure Boot is disabled in BIOS
- Motherboard has TPM but it is turned off by default
- Older motherboard without TPM 2.0 support
- BIOS set to Legacy/CSM mode instead of UEFI
How to Fix It
-
Enter BIOS: restart your PC and press Del, F2, or F12 during boot.
The key varies by motherboard brand: ASUS: Del or F2. MSI: Del. Gigabyte: Del. Lenovo: F2. HP: F10. Watch the screen during boot — it usually shows which key to press.
-
Enable TPM 2.0 in BIOS.
Look under Security, Trusted Computing, or Advanced settings. On AMD: enable fTPM. On Intel: enable PTT (Platform Trust Technology). Save and exit.
-
Enable Secure Boot in BIOS.
Look under Boot, Security, or Authentication settings. Set Secure Boot to Enabled. You may also need to set Boot Mode to UEFI (not Legacy/CSM).
-
Restart and launch Valorant again.
After enabling both TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, restart your PC. Valorant should now launch without VAN 1067.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Valorant require TPM and Secure Boot?
Vanguard (Valorant's anti-cheat) uses hardware-level security features to prevent cheating. TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot make it harder for cheats to tamper with the system before the anti-cheat loads.
Does this affect Windows 10 players?
No. VAN 1067 only appears on Windows 11. Windows 10 players do not need TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot for Valorant.
