If you're experiencing issues with the VALORANT bootstrapper and have already allowed the game through your firewall, try the following additional steps: 1. Restart VALORANT and the Riot Client: This often resolves many bootstrapper-related issues. 2. Run as Administrator: Right-click on the VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as administrator." 3. Update Windows and GPU Drivers: Ensure your operating system and graphics drivers are fully up-to-date. 4. Clear DNS Cache: Open Command Prompt as administrator and run ipconfig /flushdns. 5. Reinstall Riot Vanguard: Uninstall Riot Vanguard from the system's Control Panel, then restart your PC and launch VALORANT to reinstall it. 6. Check for Background Software: Certain programs can conflict with VALORANT. Try disabling unnecessary software, particularly those related to security or network monitoring. 7. Repair VALORANT: Open the Riot Client, click on the profile icon, go to Settings, and select ‘Repair VALORANT’. 8. Clean Boot: Perform a clean boot to start Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. If the issue persists, please create a support ticket at Riot Games support for further assistance: https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us
