This issue can occur for a few different reasons such as file corruption, missing permissions, or network issues. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve it: 1. Run as Administrator: Ensure you are running both VALORANT and the Riot Client as an administrator. Right-click the shortcut and select "Run as administrator". 2. Repair the Riot Client: - Open the Riot Client. - Go to the settings and find the repair tool. Use it to repair the game files. 3. Check Permissions: - Ensure the game folder is not set to "Read-only". - Navigate to the VALORANT installation folder, right-click the folder, go to "Properties", and make sure the "Read-only" box is unchecked. 4. Check Firewall/Security Software: - Ensure that VALORANT and the Riot Client are allowed through your firewall and antivirus software. 5. Clear the DNS Cache: - Open Command Prompt as an admin and run these commands:

     ipconfig /release
     ipconfig /renew
     ipconfig /flushdns

     ipconfig /release
     ipconfig /renew
     ipconfig /flushdns

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, there may be a deeper issue that requires direct support from Riot Games. You can submit a ticket here: Riot Support
