Valorant Shipping Error 0xc0000005 is rendering players unable to play the game since the latest 2.05 patch. The error code is not new to the game but the latest update is causing the issue to occur for a lot of players and it has also gained Riot Games’ attention. The issue has nothing to do with your internet or hardware and it is a Valorant issue that needs to be addressed with a hotfix. Until Riot Games offers a patch for Valorant Shipping Error 0xc0000005, there are some workarounds that are working for players. Let’s take a quick look at how to fix Valorant Shipping Error 0xc0000005.
After a number of people started complaining about Valorant Shipping Error 0xc0000005 since Patch 2.05 dropped, a Riot Games team member responded to players on Reddit stating “we're currently investigating a fix for this. One of the client updates is not playing nicely with some non-riot software on some players' machines. We're working to narrow it down and get a fix out as soon as possible.”
Disable Your Antivirus
This is the solution that has worked for most players. If you are running an anti-virus program, temporarily disable it before launching Valorant and you should be able to login into the game without getting the error. After you finish your matches, you can re-enable your antivirus. If you use only Windows Defender, you do not need to disable it.
The error code might be caused by a corrupt file in Windows. Run the System File Checker via the following steps.
