valorant wont launch

I just installed a new update on Valorant and after installing it didn't let me load into the game. I click the play button in Riot Client, and it turns grey but never opens Valorant. I have updated graphics drivers (RX 6600XT card), rewritten firewall/antivirus exceptions, uninstalled and reinstalled Valorant and Vanguard and a lot more, but nothing I try is working... Thanks!

try to Repair Riot Client: The Riot Client itself might have some corrupted files. Try running the repair function. In the Riot Client settings, you should find a "Repair" option under Valorant.

that should fix it If that doesnt work you can also try to : Flush DNS: This clears your DNS cache which can sometimes resolve connection issues. Open Command Prompt as administrator and type ipconfig /flushdns (including the space).

ok then Press the Windows key and type Graphics Settings, then select this option to open it It should be the first one that pop up Select VALORANT and click Options Pick High performance and click Save. If VALORANT isn’t listed, select Browse and navigate to the installation directory. C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64 Choose the VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe file and click Add.
