What Is the VAN 1067 Error
VAN 1067 is a Vanguard anti-cheat error code indicating that Secure Boot and/or TPM 2.0 are not enabled on your system. Since the 2023 Vanguard update, both features became mandatory requirements for Valorant. The game will not launch without them — regardless of your Windows version.
Secure Boot protects the OS boot process from malicious software by verifying the integrity of the bootloader. TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) is a hardware chip or firmware module that provides cryptographic security functions. Both are configured inside your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI.
Root Causes of VAN 1067
- Secure Boot is disabled in BIOS settings
- TPM 2.0 (Intel PTT / AMD fTPM) is not activated in BIOS
- Boot mode is set to Legacy/CSM instead of UEFI
- A BIOS update reset your security settings to defaults
BIOS Navigation Paths by Motherboard Brand
| Brand | Path to TPM | Path to Secure Boot |
|---|---|---|
| ASUS | Advanced → PCH-FW Configuration → PTT: Enabled | Boot → Secure Boot → Secure Boot Control: Enabled |
| MSI | Settings → Security → Trusted Computing → TPM Device Selection: PTT | Settings → Boot → Secure Boot → Secure Boot: Enabled |
| Gigabyte | Settings → Miscellaneous → Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT): Enabled | Boot → Secure Boot → Secure Boot Enable: Enabled |
| ASRock | Advanced → CPU Configuration → Intel PTT / AMD fTPM: Enabled | Security → Secure Boot → Secure Boot: Enabled |
For AMD systems: PTT is labelled fTPM. For Intel: PTT is built into the chipset and requires no separate chip.
Step-by-Step Fix
Step 1 — Enter BIOS Restart your PC and press Del (on most desktop boards) or F2 when the manufacturer logo appears. For laptops, try F2, F10, or Esc depending on the model.
Step 2 — Switch to UEFI mode In the Boot section, find Boot Mode or CSM. Set it to UEFI Only or disable CSM entirely. Secure Boot cannot be enabled while CSM/Legacy mode is active.
Step 3 — Enable TPM Using the table above, navigate to the TPM section. For Intel systems, set PTT: Enabled. For AMD, set fTPM: Enabled. If a discrete TPM chip is installed, select Discrete TPM.
Step 4 — Enable Secure Boot Find the Secure Boot section and set it to Enabled. If prompted to reset keys, choose "Restore Factory Keys" or "Install default Secure Boot Keys."
Step 5 — Save and reboot Press F10 (or choose Save & Exit). Your PC will restart. Once back in Windows, launch Valorant.
Step 6 — Verify TPM status in Windows
Press Win + R, type tpm.msc. If TPM is active, you'll see "The TPM is ready for use" and version 2.0 listed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Secure Boot disappeared after I enabled UEFI mode — why?
Your Windows drive may be formatted as MBR rather than GPT. Legacy mode and MBR formatting prevent Secure Boot from appearing. Check your disk format via diskpart → list disk → detail disk. Converting to GPT is possible without data loss using MBR2GPT.
Will enabling TPM and Secure Boot erase my data? No. These settings do not affect data on your drive. The only exception: if you use BitLocker, save your BitLocker recovery key before enabling TPM to avoid a recovery prompt on next boot.
VAN 1067 still appears after enabling both — what next? Fully reinstall Riot Vanguard: remove it via "Add or Remove Programs," reboot, then reinstall Valorant from scratch. This forces Vanguard to re-register with the new BIOS security state.
