Game wont open.
I downloaded the new update today, and the game would load but crash before i saw the menu. no error codes, no pop ups. After a little consideration, i reinstalled the game on my second drive. Now the game wont open at all, with "valorant failed to launch, something unusual happened" poping up in the riot client. Could really use some help on this one, have been frustrated for about 4 hours. Should i have kept it on the original drive? how can i get my game to work?

When VALORANT fails to launch without error codes, it can be due to various issues. Here are some steps to try and fix the problem:
1. Restart your PC: Sometimes a simple restart can clear up issues.
2. Run as Administrator: Right-click the VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as administrator."
3. Check for System Updates: Make sure your operating system and drivers are up-to-date.
4. Check Background Processes: Ensure no unnecessary programs are running that might conflict with VALORANT.
5. Firewall and Antivirus: Ensure VALORANT and Riot Client are allowed through your firewall and antivirus software.
6. Reinstall Vanguard: Uninstall Riot Vanguard, restart your computer, and then launch VALORANT again.
7. Check Disk Health: Ensure your second drive is functioning correctly by running a disk check.
If none of these steps work, you might want to revert to your original drive or contact Riot support for further assistance.

I have already restarted several times, for some reason the game will only run if i use the client (i cant run as administrator through the client) and my system is up to date.
