Ik how to fix
@imagine_20
Are you gonna respond
yes yes
i was eating dinner
@cert13
Well
how do I fix it?
Not sure if it works but my friend had the same problem and it worked for him
Basically he uninstalled Valorant from the website
tell me how
And downloaded epic games launcher
And then downloaded Valorant on that
website?
OH
you mean the website verion?
but wouldn't my progress be lost in the website version?
What
It would?
Wait
sure thing
I’ll ask my friend
is there a log in to riot in the epic games version?
sure thing
I’ll download it and check so u don’t waste time
I alr got epic games indtalled
Thanks for going through the trouble
can you also test out if epic games version allows for people to invite other players from different regions?
I'm from the Philippines and one of my friends is from L.A. and we really want to play together
Tbh i wouldint uninstall the website version
Instead
Id keep the website
And play on the epic launcher
Till website is fixed
I live in Oce and my I don’t have any problems with the download
noted
did it worked?
Downloadsd fast
Took me to the same account
I was logged on in website
That's great news
The problem is
do you have a friend that is relatively far from where u are?
Downloading epic game launcher
No
that wouldn't be a problem for me
but thanks for going through the trouble
I'll have to test this on my own now
but can you also research about how to play with friends around the world?
it woudn't let me join the invite of my LA friend
Don’t think you can unless
U have a vpn
Will a free one suffice?
But u can’t play with LA people unless u wanna lag
Don’t know
That's ok
Pleasure doing business with you
This friend did you know him irl
yes
it made me open my riot client
Send ss
Install
What’s the problem
Click install
ig i still need to download the website version of it
My friend messaged
For OCE people like me
and we're back to square one
Dam
this time its actually moving
when its at 0.01 speed it is installing and not downloading, so the download indicators do not move
you just wait
but idk if its downloading the game
Says install riot vanguard
does it have to be so long
Maybe it fixed
like a couple hours long
we'll see for ourselves
Hopefully
as for joining a friend in another region, your account is region locked. u have to create a new one while using a vpn to get to their location (after that the vpn isnt needed)
couple hours shouldnt happen but to fix that u hit settings > verify
Wil u lag
With using the vpn changing the country or remain the same ping
yeah. you will still have your 200ping
you are connecting to the other side of the world
makes sense
Yea
but I will get back to you two once its finished
Okay
Hopefully it fixed maybe
What number is it on
I’m so curious if it is gonna work
sorry boys but I have to head out for the night
but I stopped it at 38%
Alright
See you tmr
but I'll get back to you two once its finished
cya
👍
Bye
pleasure doing business with you two
hey um
the thing still doesnt work
@cert13
cant seem to delete these 2 files here
oh btw it also says access denied when I try to do this
oh nvm it deleted one of them
i js needed to put it as administator
it says that I need to find "vanguard tray notification" but I don't see it anywhere
think u can still help me? @cert13
@cert13
can you help me too
Do you also have the same problem too?
I cant seem to delete these files because it says its open on another program
@imagine_20 @snoopdoog on the bottom-right in the taskbar press the up arrow ^ (system tray), and right click vanguard then exit/close vanguard. This might give a bluescreen sometimes, but often worked after a few tries. Then uninstall vanguard, and only after all of that, start the riot client. There's a command line version floating around, that might help.
Also, disable Avast (maybe even uninstall?), or disable any antivirus until the update worked.
@Rito there's none I can see
Did you click the arrow on the right side of the taskbar?
these are the only arrows I see
what should it look like? @Rito
Like this ^
Not task manager, task bar just Google "system tray"
oh i see what you mean
I see none
That's great, then if you go to programs, if vanguard is there, uninstall it @imagine_20
No anti-virus is running, correct?
If you have avast, that's the main one causing problems, you could temporarily uninstall it, and reinstall it after. Maybe that makes it so you can't delete the files?
But if uninstalling vanguard works, you should be good
its turned off
noted
ion see a vanguard in here @Rito
Now if you open the riot client, does it download the update?
will reinstall vanguard
too
Did the problem fix I just finished doing stuff
@imagine_20
hang on
let me test it
here it goes
wish me luck dudes
I've been dealing with the same problem for months aswell
Don't know how to fix it
Back read to see if you can use these tips to help
