i can't play valorant
every time i try to run the game, nothing happens, the game never shows up but is in the background processes in my task manager.
every time i press the "play" button on my riot client it just pops right back after a moment and the game never shows up.

and yes, i have already restarted multiple times.
both the "BootstrapPackagedGame" and "VALORANT" is running in my background processes, but never really shows up so i could play the game.
try reinstalling everything including vanguard and riot client and make sure to delete the old folders before reinstalling
i did everything
now this shows up

i reinstalled again now it's stuck on 0
Wait for like 10-15 minutes
go to your services
check for svc
i fixed the stuck on downloading, i got to download the game but every time i try to run this keeps showing up and it doesn't run
i already sent a ticket to riot for this
thank you guys
go to your services
check for svc
make sure its on
its important for running the game
what's "svc" i don't see it anywhere
open services, search it
That should be an easy fix
nothing on youtube is working :(
Move ur riot games folder to another disk
ok
Or wait
Wait
Open ur riot games folder then valorant then live then shootergame then binaries then win64 and double click the valorant win64 shipping apk
Send an ss of the error it gives u
If it gives any
okay
i don't understand
Yep move the riot games folder to another drive
okay
Make sure u move the entire riot games folder
how do i move it to another disk
it keep saying copy
not move
do i reinstall the game to another disk?
No
It should give u the move option
No way it doesn't
Show ss when u right click the folder
okay
Also give ss of the whole screen
Don't cut anything
oh my bad
Cut it bro
Cut=move
Cut it and paste in C drive
okay
there's not enough space
the folder is like 200 gb
Its not supposed to be that big
Its not supposed to be more than 45 gigs
I would assume u have downloaded it multiple times
wait
nvm it's 45 gb
:val_KEKW:
Free it a bit
U can cut it back to the other disk too after u do this btw
So if u want move some things from ur C drive to the other drive
And u can move them back to C later
i'm cooked bro
c drive is all windows crap
190gb is def not taken by windows
I can assure u that much
:val_KEKW:
i know there are some files in this drive but i cant find them
bro my downloads folder 40 gb
ok wait
ill put the folder in c now
1% complete
there's no search in services
search services from windows bruh
then press s
make sure svc is on
Doing anything in services will not help ur case.
it does bruh
Not in this case
sometimes windows updates disable svc
i can't find svc
in services
What even is svc
vgc
my bad
its vgc
Yes exactly
vgv
vgc
Also its not a vgc error
@resh just do what i am saying
im just advising
why so rude
Yea i get that
I'm sorry if u thought i was rude
But i am just answering on why its not a vgc error
And has nothing to do with vanguard
bruh
hang on guys
everything is so slow
i'm copying riot games files into c
i'm starting vgc right now
its status doesn't have "runnung"
so i think it's not running
It only runs when ur game is open
Don't do anything with vanguard kindly.
oops
should i close it
Meh just let it happen
Shouldn't rly matter that much
@something
i think i need to start the game first
almost
After that open the valorant win64 shipping apk again
And see if it still gives u the error
:(
If it does then on ur desktop, right click the valorant shortcut thats on ur desktop and change its path to C from the older disk
Yea dw its supposed to be like that
Do this
should i delete the folder in D:?
i cut it but its still there
Its not gonna be there
Hm?
Open the folder
And also check the size of that folder in D
i cut and it's just transparent
45 gb
Huh
Right click on the folder in C
And check its size
45 gb

Now that is concerning

Close ur windows explorer
Then reopen
And see if its still there in D

Is it still showing as transparent

Check size again
