A critical error like this usually indicates a problem with your VALORANT installation or conflicts with other software. Here are a few steps you can try: 1. Restart VALORANT and the Riot Client: Many issues can be temporarily resolved by simply restarting both the game and client. 2. Check for Updates: Ensure that both VALORANT and the Riot Client are updated to the latest version. 3. Repair Game Files: Open the Riot Client, go to Settings -> VALORANT -> Repair. 4. Reinstall Riot Vanguard: Uninstall VALORANT, then navigate to “Add or Remove Programs” in your system settings, locate “Riot Vanguard,” and uninstall it. Reinstall VALORANT to reinstall Vanguard. 5. System Reboot: Try restarting your computer after following the above steps. 6. Check for Conflicting Software: Ensure no other software is conflicting with VALORANT or Vanguard. Disable any unnecessary background applications. 7. Firewall and Antivirus: Ensure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall and antivirus, as they might block essential game processes. If the issue persists, you might need to submit a ticket to Riot Support with the crash dump for more tailored assistance.

I get this same message. It isn't because of servers being down. I've been getting it since updating yesterday. I keep trying to run the game after getting this error and it just randomly opens fine somtimes. No idea of a solid fix.
