My valorant stuck at 0% INSTALL
So I was logging into my game and then it said to download vanguard but I already had vanguard, so I re-downloaded the game and then after downloading it went to install the game and now it's stuck like this...

same here
so how did you fix it?
mine's not even moving
so how DO I FIX IT?
Disable your antivirus
uh
check your firewall
mine isnt working either D:
bro i disabled my antivirus and restarted like twice and its still not working💀
deleted and reinstall
i did
or maybe check if you have 2 launchers
do this
ya thats what I did
ok will try
i dont know how to disable that dumb avast
just delete it
its bloatware
I put exception for valo
and I have never had problem's with it in the past
doesnt work
oh shi wait
ok now it works
Works for me
in just 10sec
LOL
srry mb
didnt saw it
no problem
dioes this work??????
just disable ur antivirus for a while
restart and run riot client again
delete your antivirus then restart comp
ez fix
^^
u don't have to delete it.
but okay
you should
most antiviruses are just bloatware
that run in the bg that give you false positives
avast?
thank you so fuckking much, it workedd
yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
love you
yes
and thank you to everyone who also helped me 🙂
what about those that never installed any antivirus to begin with? except w/ the built-in on win10 but also already disabled.
trying to figure out this error on an internet shop scale using diskless, mind you valo was working fine throughout the day, nothing was changed or moved but all of a sudden all newly booted pcs are experiencing the riot vanguard error while the other pcs whom are used for quite awhile has their valo working just fine, but since we are on a diskless system. All units has a deepfreeze, so anything changed on the client side wont affect the other clients.
so windows defender is alr disabled?
everything is disabled and i manually stoped vgc and uninstalled vangurd
dmn this game take my whole wifi
yep, it was already disabled a long time ago when the diskless system has been setup. and it's been almost a year
and you're having the same problem as everyone else? e.g. valo stuck at 0%
THANK YOUUUUUUUUU
the solution wasnt from me tho
you could try making an exception in windows defender if you have no other antivirus installed:
Press the Windows Key
Type Windows Security and click on the search result to open it
Click on Virus & Threat protection.
Click on Manage Settings that is under Virus & Threat protection settings
Scroll down until you find Exclusions
Add any Riot Games folders you have installed for Riot Client or VALORANT, including C:\Riot Games and C:\Program Files\Riot Games (or whatever drive you have them on).
not really, i can get past the login phase and the game loads for awhile and this pops up
someone that helped you thank you to them 🙏🙏
iirc rivatuner and msi afterburner also cause vanguard to have some issues
question, has this issue been raised to valo support team? seems like not everyone was affected by this
ok but it works
?
if they dont want to do it they dont have to
i’m having the same problem as everyone else and i disabled my antivirus like everyone suggested and ran val client as admin but then my pc crashed

i dont know bro

how long does it takes to uninstall vanguard
ive been waiting for 5 mins
Is antivirus disabled and did you exit vanguard in the system tray?
I did that, my computer crashed and ran into some problems
and also everytime I open up riot client it asks me if I want to have it make changes for my device
Yes, 1-3 blue screens might happen, happened to others too, after it worked
So everytime My computers recovers from a blue screen I do it again?
I heard 1-3 times from some people, until it worked. You disable the antivirus first, Avast seems to cause problems, then exit vanguard.
Then uninstall vanguard & start riot client/valorant
alright
Make sure to disable the antivirus until the update worked, some even uninstalled, but don't think that's needed.
how long does it take to download vanguard
on how good your internet is
but it will install by the launcher
i get 10 ping
and will tell you to reset the pc
guess that’s pretty quick then
it says its installing the vangaurd on the riot client
i wish i could see how long it takes
do i got to disable my anti virus
if so yea
Am unable to launch val after the new update
does anyone got solution for this issue?
does it say when the update is done
Don't bother trying
I tried everything
I uninstalled vanguard

mine showed up today
I can't even uninstall vanguard after disabling my anti virus
I got like 5 blue screens
i was gonna buy oni bundle 😦
😔
just follow this one
i did that
then run val as administrator
not the launcher
the game itself
access is denied
it told me
how do you run valorant as a administrator
search valorant then right click
maybe in the search
it denied me
then you’ll see run as administrator
when i typed that
ok i try now

oh shit i didint delete riot vanguard
and if I exit vanguard
it gives me a blue screen
I can't delete it bro
😂
still stuck on 0
same
Just wait for riot's response
there's no point in trying anything else
any actual fixes yet? not keen on scrolling through this entire thread..
my pc blue screened once when i tried to fix it earlier when i tried to force close riot vanguard. and honestly i have ptsd from blue screens from last year when my pc kicked the bucket so i'm not keen on reproducing anymore bsods if i can help it..
No solutions to the issue yet.
Just have to wait for riot to come up with one
there are some solutions but they don't work
for most people
Is there a reason why some people are being affected by this and others aren't?
some solutions work for some people
but they dont for most
No no I mean
why val isnt working for some people
It's their vanguard
or their anti virus
I've tried every possible way but none worked
hmm fair enough
I think it's because some people had their anti virus turned off
before this happened
that's why they have no issues
playing
ohh
But different story for those with anti virus
okay
on
And im one of them
i guess
did you try the turn your antivirus off/restart and then try to play fix?
i saw some people suggest that but
idk
I did
I tried to exit van guard to delete the app
but I got a blue screen
instead
yep same, that's what happened to me. got a bsod
You can't delete it if it's running
Yep
so i tried not to mess with it anymore
Yea.
I guess just wait for riot's response
my pc used to bsod a bunch last year so i have ptsd from seeing bsods loool
same here man
well hopefully there's a fix soon!!
glad to know it wasn't just me having this issue tho
yep
hopefully
No, don't think uninstalling VAL helps, it's vanguard that causes problems
didnt work
am i right?
?
First type sc delete vgc
Enter
Then sc delete vgk
@Deleted User
bless you it worked
i did it and when i press delete on riot vanguard it said like that
Is it still running in system tray? @Deleted User
If so, you need to exit it there, but might give bluescreen. Also disable antivirus for now, if it's running
yea it's a bug and MANY ppl have it, i tried everything and idk what worked overall.
1 I reinstalled Riot Vanguard*
2 I checked that my firewall doesent cancel anything
3 I reinstalled valorant
4 I Restarted my computer multiple times
But now my game works so idk
It does the same to me
That means you didn't uninstall it as it's running in the system tray
make sure you disable ur antivirus especially if its avast
ty from helping me i got my account back
?
just follow the instructions
if you have anti-virus installed, putting your anti-virus into passive mode/disabling it, which then requires a reboot, and then running the update after that works for many players
if that doesnt work, then you just have to wait for a fix - Schmick
Don't uninstall vanguard...
Is valorant even aware of this issue and are they going to fix it
they are
service.status
check it
Are they going to fix it
Like i really want play Val for some reason
They will
dont worry
im having same issue
whats your windows?
like 10 8 7
11
you can't play it on 11
switch to 10 I know so many people who have swapped back to 10 and it worked ag ain
again
I fixed it
On 11
just close and open it
