This error usually indicates a permissions issue. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve it:
1. Run as Administrator: Right-click on the VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as administrator."
2. Check Antivirus: Sometimes, antivirus software can block access to files. Ensure that VALORANT isn't being blocked by your antivirus and add it to the whitelist if necessary.
3. Check File Permissions:
- Go to the VALORANT installation folder (
C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\).
- Right-click on VALORANT.exe and go to Properties > Security tab.
- Ensure your user account has full control.
4. Reinstall VALORANT: If the problem persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling VALORANT.
5. Update Windows: Ensure your operating system is fully updated, as missing updates can sometimes cause issues.
Try these steps, and if the issue continues, you may need to contact Riot Games support for further assistance.
