1. Start With Riot’s Suggested Fixes

Riot Games has a full post regarding all the Vanguard error codes in League of Legends. The post lists over 20 error codes, their common causes, and quick solutions. For the VAN 185 error code, the guide states, “The issue may be caused by leaving the League Client running for longer than 7 days or being logged into the client on multiple devices.“

To fix the VAN 185 issues, Riot suggests restarting the League and Riot clients and logging out of the client on multiple devices. Let’s take a closer look at these solutions.

Restart Your League and Riot Client

To restart your League and Riot Client, close any open windows and ensure the app is not running in the background. Go to the taskbar, click the upward arrow icon, right-click on the Riot Client or League Client icon, and select Exit. Once the respective client is closed, relaunch it to see if the issue is resolved.

Riot also recommends not leaving either of these clients running for more than seven days, as this can lead to network issues, such as VAN 185 and VAN 0.

Log Out Your LOL Account From Multiple Devices

If you have multiple devices using the same League of Legends account, you should reconsider this. Sharing an account across multiple devices can lead to issues like the Van 185 error. To resolve this, log out of your League account on all devices except your main one, and check if the problem persists.

2. Reinstall Riot Vanguard

Riot Vanguard is an anti-cheat software developed by Riot Games that runs in the background while you play games like League of Legends and Valorant. It monitors your computer for applications and processes that may indicate cheating. However, Vanguard can sometimes cause errors when launching games. Reinstalling Vanguard is often helpful in addressing these errors.

1. Open the Windows search bar and type in Control Panel. Select the first matching result. 
   

   

2. From here, under the Programs tab, click on Uninstall Programs.
   

   

3. Next, scroll down until you find Riot Vanguard. Now, right-click on it and select the Uninstall option.
   

   

4.  If a confirmation window pops up, click on Yes. 
5. Once the software is removed, open up the Riot Client. Here, you should see an Update option next to League of Legends. Hit the Update button, and Vanguard should start installing.
   

   

6. Once the update is finished, restart your computer and see if the issue persists. 

3. Enable Vanguard Services

Another way to fix the VAN 185 error is by enabling Vanguard services. While these services are usually enabled by default, it’s a good idea to double-check to ensure everything is set up correctly.

1. Press the Windows + R keys simultaneously and the Run box should open. Here, type in “services.msc” and press OK.
   

   

2. When you do that, a Services window should open, showing all the necessary files running on your computer.
   

   

3. Here, press the “v” key on your keyboard and find vgc. Right-click on it and select Properties from the menu.
   

   

4. Next, in the General tab, look for “Startup type” and make sure it’s set to Automatic.
   

   

5. Now, hit the Start button to enable the vgc service.
   

   

Once you have done that, you need to do one more thing. Go to the Run box again, type in msconfig, and hit OK. From the System Configuration window, head to the Services tab and toggle on Hide all Microsoft services to make the process easier. Next, scroll down, find “vgc,” and ensure it is toggled on and that the Status says “Running“. Once all that is done, hit the Apply and OK buttons and restart your computer to apply the changes.

4. Reinstall League of Legends

If none of the above methods fix the issue, the last option you can try is reinstalling League of Legends. Reinstalling the game won’t delete your data and settings, as these are stored on your profile and in other temporary files. So, as long as you don’t alter those, reinstalling shouldn’t be a problem. With that said, here’s how to reinstall League of Legends:

1. Open the Control Panel via the Windows Search bar. 
   

   

2. Next, under the Programs tab, click on the Uninstall a Program option.
   

   

3. Now, find League of Legends from the list, right-click on it, and hit the uninstall button.
   

   

4. Follow along with the uninstallation process and restart your computer once it’s done.
5. Finally, head to the official League of Legends website and download the game again.
   

   

5. Contact Support

Contacting support is your last resort. Typically, customer support will suggest steps already listed on the website, so to avoid repetition, ensure you thoroughly explain everything you’ve already tried. You can reach out to both Riot’s and League of Legends support, as one may be more helpful than the other.

if %errorlevel% neq 0 (
    echo Failed to create the service. Please check the folder path and run this script as an administrator.
    pause
    exit /b
)

echo Updating Randgrid permissions
sc sdset atvi-randgrid_msstore D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;AU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;PU)

echo Service installation and configuration completed successfully.
pause

1. Copy either of the above scripts, according to your Windows version (10 or 11), into a new text file.
2. Save this file with a .bat extension (e.g., “cod_service_setup.bat”).
3. Right-click on the .bat file and choose “Run as administrator”.
4. When prompted, enter your Call of Duty Xbox app installation folder (e.g., C:\XboxGames\Call of Duty).

In addition to third-party antivirus software, other potential causes include a weak internet connection, server issues, and corrupted cache files related to Roblox.

Before discussing solutions, ensure your internet connection is functioning correctly by performing a speed test. You can also restart your router to clear any cached memory that might be overloading and impacting your internet performance.

Once you have tested your network connection, verify that the Roblox servers are not down or undergoing maintenance. To check the server status, visit status.roblox.com. If the servers are operational, you can resolve the issue by following the methods below:

1. Run Roblox from the Executable Directory

Running Roblox directly from the executable directory can bypass issues that may arise when using a shortcut. This ensures that Roblox runs with the correct files and settings. Since some users have resolved the error by launching Roblox from the executable directory, we recommend starting your troubleshooting with this basic step.

1. Click the Start Menu and type Roblox Player.
2. Right-click on it and select Open file location. This will open a folder where the Roblox application shortcut is located.
   
3. Right-click the Roblox Player again and select Open File Location.
   
4. Launch Roblox by running the RobloxPlayerBeta.
   
5. If the error persists, proceed to the other methods.

2. Allow Roblox through Your Antivirus Software

Third-party antivirus software often mistakenly flags Roblox. This is common with antivirus programs like AVAST Anti-Virus, Bitdefender, and Kaspersky. If you are using third-party antivirus software instead of Windows Defender, try adding the Roblox executable file as an exclusion in the antivirus program. This will prevent the antivirus from interfering with the Roblox executable file, potentially resolving the error.

1. Open the Antivirus Software and navigate to Settings.
   
2. Under General, select Blocked & Allowed Apps.
   
3. Click Allow App under the List of Allowed Apps.
   
4. Add the Roblox Player and click Done.
   
5. If you can’t find Roblox, click Browse or Select App Manually and navigate to the following location to select the Roblox executable file:

   C:\Users\(Your Windows Username)\AppData\Local\Roblox

6. After allowing Roblox, check if the error is resolved.

3. Clear the Temp Folder

Over time, temporary files can become corrupted, causing several startup errors, including this one. Applications create temporary files to enhance performance and reduce loading time. With the help of temp files, applications do not need to fetch data from the server, which typically aids in efficient operation.

If the temporary files related to Roblox become corrupted, they could interfere with Roblox’s ability to download the necessary files or apply critical settings. Therefore, you should clear the temp files by following the steps below to determine if they are causing the issue.

Additionally, we recommend using a disk cleanup utility, which will remove temporary data, system cache, and unnecessary files that might be preventing Roblox from functioning properly.

1. Press the Win + R keys to open the Run Program.
2. Type %temp% in the input box and click OK to open the temporary folder.
   
3. Press Ctrl + A to select all the files.
4. Right-click and select Delete.
   
5. This will not delete all temporary files because some are used by active applications, but ensure the Roblox folder is removed.
6. Once done, reopen the Run Program by pressing Win + R.
7. Type “cleanmgr” in the input box and click OK to run it.
   
8. Select the disk where Roblox is installed.
9. Select all the options under Files to Delete and click OK.
   
10. Click Delete Files once more to begin the process.

4. Use a VPN

If your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is blocking Roblox or if there are regional server issues, connecting to a VPN (Virtual Private Network) using a different server can bypass these restrictions and allow you to access Roblox without receiving an error message.

If connecting to a VPN resolves the error, it means the issue lies with your network. To address this, you should contact your ISP to resolve the issue.

1. Download any reliable VPN, such as Nord or Express.
2. Once downloaded, open the application and connect to a server in a different region.
   
3. After connecting, launch Roblox.
4. If the error is resolved, turn off the VPN, return to Roblox, and enjoy.

In the end, if the error persists, you should reinstall Roblox. If this also does not work, consider resetting your computer. Before doing so, contact your ISP, especially if using a VPN resolved the error.

Before we explore the solutions, ensure that no unnecessary background applications are running while playing Resident Evil 4 Remake. This is especially recommended if you have less than 8 GB of RAM.

1. Launch the Game Directly From the Folder

If you launch the game from a shortcut rather than directly from the game’s folder, try starting the game directly from the executable located in the game’s folder. This solution has worked for many users because it bypasses additional steps that might be causing compatibility issues. Therefore, try launching the game directly from the folder before making any changes to the game or system.

2. Disable Ray Tracing

Ray tracing is a feature that significantly increases the workload on the GPU, especially in scenes with lighting effects. It simulates the way light behaves in the real world, creating realistic shadows, lighting, and reflections. However, it also consumes a large portion of the VRAM, which can lead to crashes if you don’t have a high VRAM graphics card.

To see if this helps, consider disabling Ray Tracing.

1. To disable Ray Tracing, open the Settings and go to Graphics.
2. Scroll down to Ray Tracing and turn it off.
   
3. Once done, you should not encounter any further crashes.

3. Update Graphics Drivers

If you don’t frequently update your GPU drivers, updating them can resolve the crashing issue, as it ensures that the system is using the latest driver. Over time, GPU drivers can become corrupted or outdated, which could cause games to crash.

1. Press the Win key and type Device Manager.
   
2. Open the Device Manager and expand Display Adapters.
3. Right-click the GPU driver and select Update driver.
   
4. Select Search automatically for drivers.
   
5. If the drivers are not found, go to the GPU manufacturer’s website, then download and install the latest driver from there.
6. Once done, check if this resolved the crashing issue.

4. Verify Integrity of Game Files

Corruption in the local game files is also one of the main reasons that can lead to crashing problems. Verifying the integrity of game files restores the corrupted files by downloading fresh versions from the Steam servers and replacing the corrupted ones.

1. Open Steam and navigate to Game Library.
2. Right-click on Resident Evil 4 Remake and select Properties.
   
3. Select Installed Files from the left and click Verify integrity of game files.
   
4. Wait for it to be completed. Once done, launch the game and check if the crashing issue persists.

5. Lower Graphics Settings

High graphics settings increase the workload on the GPU, which could instantly crash the game if you run out of VRAM. However, if you reduce the graphics settings such as textures, shadows, and resolution, you will be able to make your game run smoothly because it will now use less VRAM, which can improve overall stability during gameplay, especially effective for systems with low VRAM.

1. To reduce the graphics settings, open Settings and go to Graphics.
2. Here, reduce all the settings to Low.
   
3. Once done, play the game for some time and see if the game still crashes.

If the problem persists, try reinstalling the game. Reinstalling the game will restore the corrupted files that might be causing the issue. Corruption in the game files often causes crashes or instability. A fresh installation ensures all files are intact, so as a last resort, it is recommended to reinstall the game.

Player data can be found in the documents folder, which contains information about the character or a player. Since Black Ops 6 is struggling to load player stats, it strongly suggests that the root cause is the corruption in the player data.

While corrupted player data is one of the main contributors to this issue, other causes include a weak internet connection, outdated Windows, or a server-side problem. These are also common contributors that often lead to this issue.

1. Delete the Players folder

Since misconfiguration or corrupted data associated with the player profile often causes Black Ops 6 to get stuck on loading player stats, we should start troubleshooting by deleting the Players folder.

1. Open File Explorer by pressing the Win + E keys simultaneously.
2. Go to Documents from the left and navigate to the Call of Duty folder.
3. Here, delete the folder named Players.
   
4. Once done, launch the game, and your problem should be resolved.

If you are facing this issue on the Xbox, you need to delete the reserved space allocated by Black Ops 6. For that, follow the steps for clearing reserved space by clicking here.

2. Update Windows

Outdated Windows versions may cause conflicts with the game files, leading to issues like games getting stuck on loading screens. By updating Windows to the latest version, you ensure the system has the latest drivers, fixes, and compatibility improvements. This can reduce the chances of the game getting stuck on loading screens. Therefore, ensure that you have updated Windows by following these steps:

1. Press the Win key and type Check for updates.
2. Hit Enter to open the settings.
   
3. Here, click Check for updates and then download the updates if found.
   
4. Finally, restart your computer to install the updates.

3. Use a Hotspot Connection

If you’re experiencing issues with your home network, such as poor connectivity or firewall restrictions, using a hotspot connection can help bypass these problems and determine if the root cause is related to your network.

To use a hotspot connection, simply turn on the hotspot on your mobile and make sure you are connected to either mobile data or a different Wi-Fi connection.

If you don’t have a Wi-Fi adapter on your device, you can simply connect a USB or charging cable between your computer and mobile, then enable USB tethering to use the hotspot connection.

4. Download through Battle.net

We have observed that users who downloaded Black Ops 6 from Steam are frequently encountering this issue. However, players who downloaded the game from Battle.net are not experiencing the same problem. Therefore, if the issue persists after trying all the listed methods, it is recommended to download Black Ops 6 from Battle.net.

This is a common issue, with many players expressing their frustrations on forums and social media. Server outages, incorrect account settings, or outdated software can worsen the problem. Fortunately, troubleshooting steps like reinstalling gaming services or checking your network connection have helped many users resolve it.

(Note: Sometimes, a simple power cycle or checking the Xbox Live service status can fix the error! So, before trying more in-depth solutions, consider doing this—it might be all you need.)

Before diving into the fixes, it’s helpful to understand the potential causes:

• The Xbox Live servers may be down or experiencing issues.
• Your internet connection might be unstable or disconnected.
• There could be a problem with your Xbox Live account, such as a billing issue or suspension.
• Temporary glitches in your console can also trigger this error.

Now that we know what might be causing the issue, let’s explore how to fix it.

Method 1: Check Xbox Live Server Status

1. Go to the official Xbox Live status page online to check for any ongoing issues with the servers.
2. If there are alerts indicating server problems, you might need to wait until they are resolved before trying again.

Checking server status helps ensure that the issue isn’t on Microsoft’s end, allowing you to focus on other potential fixes.

Method 2: Power Cycle Your Console

1. Press and hold the power button on the front of your Xbox until it turns off completely, which should take about 10 seconds.
2. Disconnect the power cable from the back of the console and wait for approximately 10 seconds.
3. Plug the power cable back in and turn on your console.
4. Attempt to access Xbox Live again to check if the error persists.

Power cycling can clear temporary glitches that may be causing connectivity issues, effectively refreshing your console’s system.

Method 3: Check Your Internet Connection

1. Test Network Connection:

• Go to Settings > General > Network Settings.
• Select Test network connection. This will check if your console is connected properly.

2. Restart Your Router/Modem:

• Unplug your router/modem from power.
• Wait for about 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
• Once it’s fully restarted, check your console connection again.

A stable internet connection is required for accessing online services without interruptions; resolving any connectivity issues can eliminate the error.

Method 4: Change DNS Settings

1. Navigate to Settings > General > Network Settings > Advanced Settings.
2. Choose DNS settings and then select Manual.
3. Use Google’s Public DNS by entering the following values: Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8 and Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4.
4. Save your changes and restart your console.

Doing this can improve connectivity and resolve issues related to server communication; using reliable DNS servers often leads to better performance when accessing online services.

Method 5: Remove and Re-add Your Account

1. Go to Settings > Account > Remove accounts, then select your account and confirm its removal.
2. Return to Settings > Account > Add new, and sign in with your credentials.
3. After re-adding your account, test to see if the error still appears.

This can help resolve account-related issues that might be causing the error; refreshing your account information can clear up any inconsistencies.

Method 6: Factory Reset Your Console

If all else fails, a factory reset may be necessary, but be cautious as this will erase all data on your console.

1. Ensure that any important data is saved or backed up on cloud storage if you have an Xbox Game Pass Core subscription.
2. Navigate to Settings > System > Console info > Reset console.
3. Choose between the following options: Reset and remove everything (which will delete all data) or Reset and keep my games & apps (which retains installed games but resets system settings).
4. Complete the reset process by following the on-screen instructions and set up your console again.

If you continue to experience issues after trying all these methods, consider reaching out to Xbox Support for further assistance.

The error can also be caused by various other factors, such as the platform being unable to reach the required data, an unstable or blocked internet connection, account-related problems, or incorrect login credentials.

It may also occur due to conflicts with cached data, outdated game versions, or platform-specific issues. Furthermore, certain regional restrictions or firewalls might also block access to necessary servers, causing the error to appear.

Before we begin troubleshooting, we must ensure that your internet connection is working properly.

1. Check Internet Speed: Check your internet speed by running a speed test using Fast or Speedtest By Ookla. If your internet speed is slower than usual, contact your ISP.
2. Restart Router: Restart your router by turning it off for 30 seconds and then turning it back on. This will clear any network configurations and reset your connection.
3. Switch Networks: Switching to another network can help determine if the issue lies within your network. If possible, switch to another network and check if the issue resolves.

Once it’s verified that your internet connection is working as intended, go ahead and check Minecraft’s server status.

Checking the Minecraft server status can help determine if the error occurs due to a problem on your side or if the server is inactive for maintenance.

If it is a server-side issue, nothing will work except waiting for the servers to come back online.

You can check Minecraft’s server status on websites like DownDetector or visit the official Mojang’s Twitter account to check for further updates on when the servers will return online.

For Xbox, use the Xbox Status Page, and for PlayStation, use the PlayStation Network Status Page.

Solution 1. Clear the Store Cache and Restart Minecraft

Clearing the cache removes temporary files and data stored by the game. If the stored files and data become corrupted or outdated, it can lead to such errors. Clearing the cache and then restarting the game will force Minecraft to use the latest data rather than relying on faulty cached data.

1. Go to Settings.
   
2. Scroll down and select the Storage option under the General tab.
   
3. Select Clear Minecraft Store Cache to clear the game’s store cache.
   
4. Lastly, restart your game and check if the issue is resolved.

Solution 2. Sign Out and then Sign Back In

Signing out and then signing back in can resolve account-related issues, refresh authentication tokens, and sync account data. Authentication tokens are created to verify your identity and allow access to services like the Marketplace, which can be helpful in resolving the issue.

1. Go to Settings.
   
2. Select Profile under the General tab.
   
3. Select Sign out of your Microsoft Account, and it will sign you out of your account.
   
4. Now, restart your game.
5. Once again, go to Settings > Profile.
6. Select Sign in for Free! and sign back into your account.
   

This concludes all the solutions that work for this error code. If after trying everything, the error remains, the best thing is to wait it out, as it may be an issue occurring due to some problem on the back-end of the game. Another thing you can try is contacting the official support of Minecraft and explaining your issue.
