Valorant can't launch.
Does anyone know why i cant open Valorant? when i press "Play" the button gets greyed out but nothing happens, except i can see "BootstrapPackagedGame" in task manager, but i cant close it.
Edit: I have tried running Valorant in compatibility mode, reinstalling everything riot related on my pc, giving it administrator perms, running in full screen optimization, creating a new account etc.

restart pc
i have tried that, along with a lot of other things. like running it in compatibility mode, reinstalling valorant, reinstalling vanguard, and everything riot related on my pc, running in administrator mode, etc.

i've tried giving it administrator perms, and is there any other way to check for updates than checking in Riot Client?

@Deleted User
ill take a look
same is happening to me, the process only ends when you restart ur pc and then you can click play again, where for me at least, it still doesnt work
it happen to me too
just i cliked play after update r
like right after when it was still red
then it got grey
but the game opened in like 10 mins
my game hasen't opened at any point
loll
u guys try reinstalling ?
yes
same
i deleted the game 3 times just cause of the rage
loll
oh XD
i've tried reinstalling everything riot related too, still didnt work :(
ahh sad
guess i got lucky
i even waited 4 hours for the game to open just in case it did yesterday xDD
lollllll
did u guys try lauching valorant shortcut
instead of through riot client ?
yeah
btw have you guys made a ticket on the support page?
the game worked with me with no proplems
yeah
same
works for me too
trying to reinstall rn
lmk if it works
i have idea
go on
change the file place
from c to d
and
change the file name
never place a heavy game in ur c drive
ya i've already tried switching from my A: to C:
never place it in the system drive
i tried it it worked
sorry
im arabic
it slows the pc if your c drive gets heavy
nice
my en not very good
np
when i downloaded the game
it didnt works
or lunch
but
when i tried it
maybe it was cause your riot client was in c aswell
it works with nout any prop
wait
its cause riot games was in C aswell
now even my client dont work ;--;
?
delelete everything
wdym by that?
and try to reintall
maybe for the riot vangard ?
he was showin me somethin
nvm my client work now
but still valorant didnt open
sad
i dont think so
so many people have this issue recently
prob riot problem
rly?
do u have riot vangard here§
?
@meh.exe is your riot vangaurd open ?
while trying to launch the game ?
cause the game doesnt work without it open
dont believe so, i only have the riot client icon
and it only opens once every time the pc has been opened
so to open it again if u have it u need to restart the pc
but it opens when u lunch the game
think i might know why it isnt launching, brb
sure ok
crap, really thought that would work. i noticed that my vanguard wasnt set as a start up app, so i set it to be and restarted my pc. didnt work :(
sad
is your vanguard open right now ?
i reinstalled it
vanguard
but it isn't on
yeah
look at the bottom right
no vanguard sign
restart pc
you can seach for "services" open it and see if "vgc" is running, its got to be running for valorant to launch
it should be like this
but mine dont have the vanguard
my val works fine
@hz2008._ try this ^^, pretty sure the tray icon is just an indicator for seeing if the service is running
ye i tried
it is running
wait so when u guys run valorant does riot client stay opened
yes
and when i try to close it it informs me that i cant since valorant is "open"
YES SAME
i mean i close it but it runs in the background
the client runs in the background
yes
basically when i try to close it, it informs me that valorant is open for like 0.4sec then, closes (and runs in the background)
ye same for me
yep yep
my valorant can't lauch too
happen to a lot of people
probably a glitch with the update
the devs will probably fix it
Okay thx
u speak french
plz
sameeeee
@Deleted User
i feel like the devs would've adressed it by now, does anyone know if they've mentioned it?
no sorry i cant
my: riot game launch and close
i cant sorry
ill just wait for their respond
ok
this isnt official valorant support
so rip
yep

I have the same issue. Riot support replied to my email yesterday and they told me every single troubleshooting method I've tried already. Still no solution. I sent them new error logs. I hope they get back to me with a fix to this issue.
GUYS I FOUND A SOLUTION FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE NO RTSS OR MSI AFTERBURNER.
I remember b4 my valo is broken, i download avast antivirus. i think it is the reason why my valo is broken so i uninstalled it. now my valo works. You can choose to not try if u think it is scam but it all depend to you. I just want to share it with u guys.
I SPOKE TOO SOON
MY GAME'S WORKING NOW
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID
I JUST TRIED MY CHANCE TO LOG ON TODAY AND IT WORKED
I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING ANYMORE TBH LOL
EH
MAYBE NOT MY ANTIVIRUS
maybe they patch it lol
Probably? Cause I saw a lot of people having problems with the game. I'm still waiting on Riot support team to respond to my email again. They've been good with replying within 24 hours but still no luck with a solution. 🙏🏻
True. Broken patches happen sometimes. ha.
