Jumping on Valorant seems easy till the game hits you with some errors. The developers at Riot have been pushing out updates to keep the free-to-play experience as smooth as possible. With VCT 2023 starting in February, the first-person shooter has cemented its name in the eSports scene.
As players get ready for the new Episode 6 and the new 3-site map, Riot has still not provided an official fix for the ‘Queue is disabled’ error. If you are facing similar issues that affect your ranked experience, here is everything you need to know about the error.
This error has been present since the initial release of the game in 2020. There are different methods that seem to work for different players who have had the same issue but point towards a similar method to start grinding again.

Everything that you should know about the ‘Queue is disabled’ error
What works for most players is restarting the game. If the error still persists, restarting your game multiple times might solve the issue. You can also try logging out of your Riot client and log back in. If nothing works, your best bet is to reinstall the game or submitting a request at Riot support.
Not all players face this issue, there is no specific reason to why a player might encounter this error. However, there have been instances where Riot has disabled matchmaking for everyone on their servers. One example of this can be when ranked was disabled due to bugs in Skye’s Guiding Light. Riot also disables competitive queue before every major update like releasing a new ‘Episode’ or ‘Act’.
We’re disabling the Competitive queue while we work to fix an exploit that bypasses the flash effect from Agent abilities. We’ll update as soon as we’re back.
— VALORANT (@PlayVALORANT) August 10, 2022With Valorant becoming more and more popular gradually, its success as an eSports title is inevitable. The developers have also been very active on social media and very interactive with the community which makes the player-base believe that all of these issues will be fixed eventually. The new map “Lotus” will also be introduced in the new update. With new content hitting the servers, one can expect the game to get lively again after it felt way too repetitive after the last agent ability changes.
In case you missed it!
