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).
repair is greyed out
hmm
can u send a screenshot
hang on maybe its coz val is open (in task manager)
Valorant needs to be closed, for the repair to work
ok it let me repair
and it said everything was fine
like it did nothing
i flushed dns tho
hmm
Did u change dns servers?
maybe thats the problem
ill check that
ive changed dns servers on browser but i dont think on os
did u try to reinstall vanguard?
yep
did u delete Misconfigured Manifest Files?
no, how do i do that?
that was the problem for me

If THAT didnt work, try to run valorant as administrator

Is this a new issue?

Did u allow Valorant through your firewall?
Windows firewall*

wait no
dotn restart

ok?
so did u do it
?
i closed val in task manager
but i did the high priority thing
try to launch it then
yep, it didnt work :(
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.
yep it shows
So you dont need to search it?
i searched in the graphics bit
Then just click options, and choose High performance, and click save.
ok cool
and launch valorant to see if it worked
then quit valo
try to open val again
not working still
Okay then
Press Windows + R to open the Run window.
Type sigverif.exe and click OK.
Click Start to begin the verification process
iff any unsigned drivers are discovered, its over for them and it should work
should i restart my pc?
