Does it show any error codes reguarding this problem?
Yes
What is it?
what error
I have also already checked task manager but nothing shows up except for the browser I use
Anyone has a solution?
@kristofer1 u think its the antivirus problem?
or is this a diff error
@kuyaeden
so your val doesnt launch
when u click play?
Ohh
Yep
The play is grey currently
Maybe
what antivirus do u have on? @kuyaeden
Does it show in the task manager at all?
Avast
oh ew
disable avast for a bit
Alright
restart your pc after
then after u restart make sure its still disabled then launch val
AVAST IS ASSSSSSSSS
i dont like it anymore
fr I forgot to remove it
tbh you aren't the only person having this problem with avast lmfao
yea
avast is ass
Now I understand the A in avast
anyways it still wont open uh
ass
try uninstalling it
then just reinstall after
like if it worked without avast
Ok
I clicked on valorant and it said this
what
yes
I clicked yes and it kept bringing me to that same menu
Won't update for me... 😦
Just freezes at 45%
i had the same problem with avast
does it not let you close the packaged thing in task manager?
is avast the problem?? i never had this problem of not opening val until today
i reinstalled and everything
it was but for me all i had to do was add exceptions for val
whats exceptions?
go to menu > settings > exceptions > add exceptions and add 2 exceptions
one for your riot games folder
what does exceptions do?
then the other should be the \program files\ riot vanguard\ folder
stops avast from blocking or something
oh okay, thanks!
not sure exactly but if u add it for those folders it should fix it
I already did this. Doesn't fix it...
maybe check if you have it under a blocked app
im gonna try it
other than that im not sure
whats a good anti virus oher than avast
I'm now uninstalling my virus software all together... Will let you know if/when I figure it out.
Windows Defender works great.
