Running VALORANT from an external hard drive can sometimes cause issues due to the way the game interacts with your system's security features and hardware. Here are some steps to try to fix the issue:
1. Move VALORANT to the main internal drive: The game is optimized to run from your system's main internal hard drive.
2. Reinstall Riot Vanguard: Uninstall Riot Vanguard and then restart your PC. Upon restarting VALORANT, it should prompt you to reinstall Vanguard.
3. Check system requirements: Ensure that your external hard drive and connection method (e.g., USB) meet the performance requirements for VALORANT.
4. Update Drivers: Ensure all your system's drivers, especially GPU drivers, are up-to-date.
5. Run as Administrator: Right-click on the VALORANT icon and select "Run as administrator."
6. Support Articles: For a detailed guide, refer to Riot Games Support: https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us
If the issue persists, consider raising a support ticket with Riot Games for more tailored assistance.

Move it to your internal storage
