My valorant won't open
I tried running the program as admin, restarting the PC, even reinstalling the whole game, but it still won't get my valorant to open. Anyone know how to fix this?

It seems like you're encountering a generic launch error. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:
1. Restart VALORANT and Riot Client: Close both and restart them.
2. Check for Server Status: Sometimes this might be due to server issues. Check the VALORANT server status here.
3. Update Windows: Ensure your Windows OS is up to date.
4. Update Graphics Drivers: Make sure your GPU drivers are the latest versions.
5. Disable Overlays: Applications like Discord and GeForce Experience can sometimes cause issues. Disable overlays and try launching the game.
6. Run Network Commands:
- Open Command Prompt as an Administrator.
- Run these commands:
-
netsh int ip reset
- ipconfig /release
- ipconfig /renew
- ipconfig /flushdns
- netsh winsock reset
7. Temporary Disable Antivirus or Firewall: Sometimes they might be blocking the game. Disable them temporarily and try again.
8. Uninstall and Reinstall Vanguard: Sometimes, reinstalling Riot Vanguard can help.
If none of these steps work, please reach out to the Riot Support Team for further assistance.

Reinstalling the vanguard worked for me, thanks ❤️
