valorant does not open after downloading
I just downloaded valorant, complete the update and restart the pc as stated. However, as I press play, the screen just freeze and the game could not start. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Does that relate to any of the firewall/ anti-virus issues

It's possible that your firewall or antivirus could be causing issues with VALORANT. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
1. Firewall/Antivirus:
- Ensure VALORANT and Riot Client are allowed through your firewall and antivirus software.
- If uncertain, temporarily disable the firewall and antivirus to check if they are causing the issue.
2. Run as Administrator:
- Right-click on the VALORANT or Riot Client shortcut.
- Select "Run as Administrator".
3. Compatibility Mode:
- Right-click on the VALORANT shortcut.
- Go to 'Properties' > 'Compatibility' and check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows 10.
4. Update Drivers:
- Make sure your graphic drivers are up-to-date. Visit the manufacturer's website for the latest drivers.
5. Reinstall Riot Vanguard:
- Go to Control Panel > Programs and Features and uninstall Riot Vanguard.
- Relaunch VALORANT so that Riot Vanguard reinstalls itself.
6. Network Reset:
- Run Command Prompt as admin and execute the following:
7. Check for Updates:
- Make sure your Windows OS is up-to-date.
If the issue persists, submit a ticket to Riot Support for further assistance.

Hi @Saucywan, I have checked and it's already enabled. However, when I press on play button the game still does not open or show any sign of running. Do you have other ways to solve this problem? Thank you!
