Fix Valorant Discord Invite Not Working - Server Side Workaround
You are staring at your Discord connections and Valorant settings trying to figure out why your lobby invites aren't showing up, even though everything says it is connected. You haven't done anything wrong; Riot has disabled the integration on their end, making the 'join' buttons simply disappear.
Why this happens
Riot disabled the specific Discord integration responsible for game invites and status updates in a recent patch. The account link you see in your settings is a legacy connection that only displays your status but no longer supports interactive lobby features.
Steps
-
01Open Valorant and locate the Party Code button directly above your player banner on the main menu.
-
02Click the button to copy the code to your clipboard.
-
03Paste this code into your Discord chat so your friends can manually join your party.
-
04Verify your Discord overlay by going to User Settings, then Activity Settings, and then Game Overlay.
-
05Check Registered Games to ensure the eye icon next to Valorant is toggled on to ensure Discord detects the game process.
Still not working?
If you are unable to generate a party code, check the Riot Games support status page for server-wide outages affecting the party system. If the game client itself is not detecting that you are playing, verify that your Discord and Valorant are both running with the same permission level, preferably as a standard user rather than running one as administrator while the other is not.
Frequently asked questions
Should I unlink and relink my Riot account in Discord?
No, do not unlink your account. Because the new authentication flow is currently disabled server-side, you may be unable to re-establish the connection once you disconnect it.
Is my game or Discord installation corrupted?
No, this is a server-side limitation implemented by Riot. Reinstalling the game or Discord will not restore the missing invite buttons.
