Game crashing on launch since new patch?
Game shows the splash screen and seems to load for a while, and I eventually get the error in the screenshot. This happens if I try to launch Valorant directly, and also if I try to launch via the Riot client. Would appreciate if anyone has a fix or info on if this is a known issue.

The error you are encountering suggests a critical issue in launching VALORANT, possibly related to the recent patch. Here are a few steps you can follow to try to resolve this issue:
1. Restart VALORANT and Riot Client: Close both completely and try restarting them.
2. Check for Updates: Make sure your Riot Client and VALORANT are fully updated.
3. Run as Administrator: Right-click the VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as administrator."
4. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date.
5. Repair VALORANT: Open the Riot Client, go to the VALORANT settings, and select the option to repair.
6. Reinstall Riot Vanguard: Uninstall Riot Vanguard via Control Panel and then restart VALORANT so it reinstalls Vanguard.
7. Background Applications: Disable any unnecessary background applications that might be causing conflicts.
8. Reinstall VALORANT: As a last resort, completely uninstall and reinstall the game.
If the issue persists, consider submitting a support ticket to Riot Games with the crash dump. More details can be found on Riot's support page: Riot Games Support.
