It looks like you're experiencing an error while trying to update VALORANT. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Restart the Riot Client: Close the Riot Client completely and restart it.
2. Run as Administrator: Right-click on the VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as Administrator."
3. Clear Cache: Clear the cache by deleting the content in the following folders:
-
%localappdata%/Riot Games/Riot Client/v1/
- %localappdata%/VALORANT/Saved/
4. Check Firewall/Antivirus: Ensure that your firewall or antivirus isn’t blocking VALORANT. You can add VALORANT and the Riot Client to the whitelist.
5. Network Issues: Sometimes network issues can cause update errors. Try restarting your router or switch to a wired connection if possible.
6. Reinstall VALORANT: Completely uninstall VALORANT and the Riot Client, then reinstall them from the official website.
If the issue persists, contact Riot Support for more detailed help: Riot Support.
