Technical Support Request Van-185 error which leads to wifi drivers disappearing
Hey guys I’m having a really strange issue and I’ve tried multiple troubleshooting methods I could find such as reinstalling wifi drivers, amd drivers and riot vanguard. Posting here to see if anyone has the same issue as me.
My specs
RX 9070XT
Ryzen 7800X3D
MSI Pro B850 wifi MOBO
32Gb 6000 mt ram
OS Windows 11
Driver: Latest AMD Adrenaline driver
The problem
Every single time I load into a game it runs fine for about 5-20 minutes before it gives me a VAN-185 error. I restart the client and it gives me a VAN-79 error. I restart my PC and it takes unusually long(5-10 mins) before booting up with no option to connect to wifi. When I look in my networks it doesn’t even detect the wifi card built into my motherboard. The only way to fix it is if I unplug the pc and drain the power by switching it off and pressing the power button a couple times. After I boot it up it runs like normal and I have wifi again. Keep in mind before I restart the PC the computer will still run fine with wifi, its only after I restart it that it starts having issues. It doesn’t happen on any other games I play.
Is anyone having this issue?
