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.

search services from windows bruh then press s make sure svc is on

jidat5mo ago
Doing anything in services will not help ur case.
