Problem with launching (URGENT)
Hello, or good morning/evening! I was hoping to find some help today over an issue I have been having. I have recently installed Valorant and was hoping to dive in and play with some friends but I have hit a roadblock... Every time I go to launch it I get an error "Something unusual happened failed to launch..." Now I am not as stupid as I seem so I did some research on this topic and tried just about everything there is but I still can't seem to get it to launch on my "laptop."
Specs:
Intel UHD 620 is my graphics card.
Intel I3 8th gen.
Troubleshooting I have done
-Run as an administrator.
-Disable full-screen optimizations.
-Update drivers.
-Update windows.
-Uninstall and reinstall.
-Turn off all antivirus and firewall.
-ETC.
A little more info is that when I get this pop-up it is as soon as I launch or click "play" it INSTANTLY closes/minimizes, and then when I go to re-open it I get the error. I would love any help I get and thank you so much for listening to my ramble you guys are the best and have a great day!!
Edit: I have also installed it on a USB thumb drive and I am thinking this is the problem, but I have seen people do it...

It might be an issue on riot's side
if you say you have tried everything that is
Yes I have submitted a ticket.
the usb thumb drive might be a problem
sure u can generally play on usb if its fast enough. Looking at ur specs, i would assume that the laptop dosent have the best usb speeds
try installing on ur drive and see if it continues
Install DDU utility
and uninstall intel drivers using DDU and reinstall it @ggood_
So you don’t think it’s the thumb drive
Well, I am out of room would you think an external would be better?
not really but it might help
also try reinstalling / installing codec packs
microsoft visual c++
microsoft net framework
directX
Yeah it’s a lot more in-depth than I thought it might be
Like I could play Rocket league off a thumb drive
I’ll wait for the ticket see what’s up. Hopefully it won’t take too long.
i know a friend who has a whole windows on USB thumb and still able to play valo
What do you think most likely will fix it
there is no specific error code which makes it harder to fix
but ill try general stuff like reinstalling gpu driver using DDU or installing codec packs
What .net?
12?
11
NET Framework 3.5
I have all that
This is all very weird idk why it won’t work…
Just installed c++ library if say I don’t have that would this be the solution
Nope 👎tried it all
Thanks for your help @redpainsam
Still nothing
