Game won't open
Game won't open, I notice that it briefly flashes in task manager before closing. Tried several different fixes from both in this channel and on reddit, nothing has worked.

This isnt the same problem?
oh well at one point it also did that
Ok
because i tried to do one of the things someone said
Go to C:\Riot Games\Valorant\Live\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\ And run the file Valorant-Win64-Shipping.exe
it does say this
Right click the .exe, Open properties, Go to security, Advanced, Send a photo
ive already done the thing you said
and theres nothing in the compatability tab
oh.
are you the owner?
Above the photo there should be a owner: {your mircosoft account email/username OR your windows username}
yes
there is i just didnt include it
Below there should be a disable Inheritance button
press it
selected on which one
Doesnt matter
which one
Bottom one
ok i did it
now what
Is the game asking for admin?
uhh
no
When you try to launch it
Are you sure?
oh when i launch it
uhh
i launched it and nothing happened
Try to launch the exe now
this happened like completely out of nowhere overnight btw
directly?
Yes
WRONG EXE
i tried riot client as well
^^
oh
same thing
you set the perms to the right exe RIGHT?
yes
hmmmm

try launching from riot client
im just not putting my full name in the ss

i click the button and nothing happens
i mean it goes grey
my cursor shows something is opening
and then it goes back to this
Does riot client close?
or just stay there
no

i also cleaned up my c drive and nothing changed
show the compatibility tab now of the valorant-win64-shipping.exe
it's all unchecked
Ok check valorant.exe now
No the compatibility tab

i dont think itd make a diff but
something thats not normal
:Susge:
i do see that
but i wonder why it randomly stopped working
lemme see if that worked
well its stil doing this
it won't
yeah
lol
yea nothing changed
time to change the whole riot games folder
what do i do
at C:\
yeah
Find the riot games folder
but what do I do to it
Right click it, Open properties, Go to security, Advanced
Press add, Select a principal, Enter "Users", Then press "check names", Tick "full control", ok, apply, send a photo
@Jar?
ok i did it
still isnt working
Can you send me a photo of the security advanced menu?
A.k.a. the menu before you press add
this is the entire riot games folder
Is the game asking for admin when you launch it?
where should i launch it from
Riot Client
nope
nothing happens
just returns to this every time i click play
Yes, but does it ask for admin when you open it?
it buffers for a second
no
Fully close it and open it make sure it doesn’t ask for admin
and valorant is open in my task manager briefly after i press it
yeah its not
i went to the taskbar menu as well and closed it from there
Press disable inheritance
ok i did that
nothing changed
