A critical error message in VALORANT usually indicates an underlying issue with either the game files, your system, or software conflicts. Here's what you can try:
1. Restart the Game: Close VALORANT and the Riot Client completely and try restarting the game.
2. Run as Administrator: Run both VALORANT and the Riot Client as administrator.
3. Check for Updates: Ensure both VALORANT and your graphics drivers are up to date.
4. Repair Game Files: In the Riot Client, go to Settings > VALORANT > Click "Repair" to fix any corrupted game files.
5. Firewall/Antivirus: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall/antivirus.
6. Reinstall Vanguard: Uninstall and then reinstall Riot Vanguard (Vanguard handles anti-cheat measures).
7. Reinstall VALORANT: As a last resort, uninstall and reinstall the game.
If none of these solutions work, I recommend visiting the Riot Games support site and creating a ticket for further assistance: https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us
