Minimum requirements for Valorant (30 FPS): Operating System: Windows 7 / 8 / 10 64-bit Processor: Intel Core 2 DUO E8400 Memory: 4 GB RAM Graphics Card: Intel HD 4000 One common reason Valorant won't launch is that your PC doesn't have the available RAM for the game

i did this before, i saw in a yt vid, it did absolutely nothign the same problem occurs
Deleted User 7dg36792
No it’s not from YouTube. I took a look at someone’s else crash folder he’s having the same issue and I did some testings and this method works. It basically make sure the Riot Servers are running properly and that valorant is also running properly and running as admin. And other stuff.
