The error stems from failing to connect to the Riot Games server for Valorant and will prevent any attempts at logging in to the game from being successful. Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to address the problem for players.

You can check for any left over processors that prevented the game from closing fully by pressing Ctrl, Shift, and Esc on a Windows computer and searching for any programs from Valorant or Riot Games. After making sure the game and all processors relating to Valorant are closed, try restarting the game and it should allow you to log in normally.

You can also attempt to uninstall and reinstall the game files again from the Valorant site to fix error code 7. The problem may stem from a corruption that occurred when you first downloaded the game, so the best thing to is to initiate a fresh download of the game.

In the case that neither of those options work, the best alternative is to wait for Riot Games to release a patch or update that fixes the error.
