Error 33 and 38 are related to issues with Vanguard, VALORANT's anti-cheat system. To try and resolve these crashes, follow these steps:
1. Reinstall Vanguard:
- Uninstall Riot Vanguard through "Add or Remove Programs".
- Restart your computer.
- Launch VALORANT to prompt Vanguard to reinstall.
2. Update Graphics Drivers:
- Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date by visiting the manufacturer’s website (NVIDIA, AMD, etc.).
3. Check for Background Software:
- Close any unnecessary applications running in the background as some software might conflict with Vanguard.
4. Run as Administrator:
- Right-click on VALORANT and select "Run as Administrator".
5. Whitelist VALORANT and Vanguard in Firewall/Antivirus:
- Add VALORANT and Riot Vanguard to any whitelist configurations in your firewall or antivirus settings.
6. System Updates:
- Ensure your Windows OS is fully updated.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, consider submitting a support ticket to Riot Games for further assistance: Riot Games Support.
