CANT PLAY VALORANT SINCE MAY 2022
So, this is an issue that I have been facing in Valorant since May 2022! Before that the game was working perfectly fine with 80-120 FPS normally! My specs are more than the minimum required as well!
These are my specs:
Model: DELL Inspiron 15 3000
Proccessor: AMD ryzen 3450U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx
Ram: 8gb
SSD: 256 gb
Windows: 11
I have looked for and executed every possible steps, instructions, troubleshoots and fixes since then! I have contacted Valorant support for more than 5 times as well! Almost 10 months have gone by and the game does not work! I have tried all issues- uninstalling, reinstalling, services, cmd, msconfig, startup, everything available, but not nothing changes!
What happens is that whenever I open the game, it takes me to the riot client and shows the Play or Update button.. sometimes! When I click on it, the client will be minimized and the game wont start.. When I reopen it from the taskbar it will just show Something unusual happened while trying to launch valorant.. And this is the same thing since 10 months! Also when I reinstall it will show the "Cant install a required dependancy error" And when I restart it will again do the unusal error..
I have done every possible fix, submitted multiple logs, but just nothing seems to happen!
I have tried making new accounts as well, thinking maybe there is a problem with my acc.. but nothing helped. Also done all McAffee, Updating and antivirus fixes.. It is not a Win 11 error also, because i have the TPM and Secure boot as per your requirements..
I think it is a Vanguard related issue so please help me out! I really want to play the game..
Please treat this as extreme urgent and help me out! I really want to play the game..

have u tried reinstalling vanguard?
also i think for windows 11 the system requirments are higher (not sure)
so maybe downgrade to win 10?
ya man.. done that like 30-40 times over the past months
i actually have tons of friends who have win11 as well.. it works extremely fine for them
jeez 💀
actually, i bought a new laptop with pre built win 11 so i dont have the option to go back
with similar specs?
hm
its same with my friends tho.. one bought it just a week before me
but faces no issue till date
i actually have higher than couple of them
and you've tried stuff like sfc /scannow ?
ohh nope.. what's this?
idk if it'll work tho
open powershell (with admin) and type sfc /scannow
i'll try if u say so lmao.. anything might help xD
it checks and repair system files i think
okay
the scan has started
also u didnt reinstall/reset windows ryt?
nope
well if nothing else works, reinstall windows (10 probably)
it always works but rip 14gb wifi
Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
got this mess
hmm
:/
wai @.insomn see if theres a system restore point made before May 22'
try reverting back to it cuz it worked fine before
if theres none just reinstall windows 10
Won’t it affect my files?
it will
I don’t think I can coz this machine came in built with win 11
you can
Can u tell me how
back up important stuff ig
Hmm
sure
first see if theres a restore point made before May
ahh where can i find it lmao
uh
search system restore on search bar
done
then click 'recovery'
done
i am getting a diff interface..
what does it say
screenshot?
oh its windows 11 lol
thats why
@.insomn
this is what i get
rip it says 2023
it's showing today's date itself..
not even some other lmao
btw u have valorant installed on C drive right?
yup
welp i dnt know anything else that would work so if nothing else works, clean install windows 10
after backing up stuff u need
ohh
okay
btw vanguard shows here ryt?
yea
:/
if ur rlly desperate, reinstall win 10
it might actually be a simple fix but figuring that out would be a pain
lmao
ill probably skip the steps and go to some service center.. coz not just valo but a lot of stuff is only working on 10 so it really annoys lmao
welp theyre gonna charge u right?
why not do it urself
hmm
lets see lmao
i mean if ur not sure if u can do it then its fine
ya
or maybe ask a friend to install it for you
someone who knows
hmm
go back to windows 10
its really simple
just download a windows 10 iso
burn it onto an 8gb usb using rufus
then boot into the usb from your bios
Thank you so much!
😀
Just that my laptop came pre built with 11.. so that won’t be an issue right?
11 is newer than 10 so on the Support site there will be drivers for 10 too :)
Oh okay
Thanks
also win 10 doesnt need activated TPM + Secure Boot
Ya but idk why the valo prob is coming cause I have them activated here as well
For Secure Boot and Activated TPM u need diasble some other stuff too
idk the name for now
hmm okay
maybe if u lmk that it could fix valo
TPM on (i have an similiar Gigabyte Board in my pc so)
CMS Support > Disabled
Okay thanks
Secure Boot on when "While" CSM is diabled. U could try this.
will it help if i install the game on an external hard drive?
Nope
okay
external drives are also slower then ur internal Drives.
hmm
I think the problem started from birth 🙏
since you came to world?
No u
xD
prob skill issue
