Valorant is constantly crashing?
Four days ago; I uninstalled this problematic app that made Valorant crash quite often ever since getting it, something about seeing the rank of every player in the lobby.
These previous four days, I was able to play Valorant again.
I opened up Valorant once more today and now I crash immediately upon joining these matches again...
What could possibly be the problem? How can I see what is damaging Valorant?

Is there any crash error or message? And what did you install in the first place?
Sorry for being late, no I never got any crash error or message. The game just quit and immediately tried to rejoin, but then just quit again and stay that way.
I try to open it again and then they say that I need to update.
I reach 17% or close and then poof, the play-button shows up.
Try these steps:-
5. Clean Boot (MSConfig)
It could be that other programs are interfering with VALORANT. To eliminate the possibility of that happening, let's turn off your unnecessary start-up processes.
• Press [Windows Key] + R
• Type msconfig into the text bar at the bottom of the menu
• Click on the Services tab
• Check Hide all Microsoft services <--- Super important! Protects you from accidentally disabling a key process!
• Click the Disable All button
• Find vgc and re-check that one. This is required for VALORANT
• Click on the Startup tab (Note: Windows 10 has you go to a Task Manager Tab, which has no disable all button. Disable the ones you see there manually)
• Click on the Disable All button
• Click on the Apply button
• Click on the OK button
• Restart your computer
• Possibly clean boot to make sure nothing that can interfere with Vanguard is running
6. Whitelist VALORANT, Riot Client & Vanguard in Firewall & Antivirus
Go with a whitelist of both VALORANT, Riot Client and Riot Vanguard (https://support-leagueoflegends.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752664-Troubleshooting-Connection-Issues#updating-your-firewall-0-5) on your antivirus & firewall.
These are the filepaths you need to add:
• C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\VALORANT.exe
• C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\vgc.exe

7. Let's make sure you have Windows "Data Execution Protection" (DEP) turned on, since the Connection Error can occur if it's off.

• Paste the following command and then press the Enter key: bcdedit.exe /set nx AlwaysOn

• Open "System", then choose "About" from the left side panel.
• Click the link on the About page that says "System info".
• Click the "Advanced system settings" link.
• Click the "Advanced" tab.
• Click the "Settings" button under "Performance".
• Click the "Data Execution Prevention" tab.
• Select the radio button that says "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select".
• Don't add any program exceptions.
• Click the "Apply" button.
• Restart your computer.

Sorry, came to • Click on the Startup tab (Note: Windows 10 has you go to a Task Manager Tab, which has no disable all button. Disable the ones you see there manually)
I am very sorry to be somewhat new to the system. "Startup tab"... Is that the microsoft/windows button down-left corner? 😅
Nevermind, sorry. Just Task-manager and then Startup-tab there I now see.
I need to shut them all down manually... But even the "System configuration ultility" and then Background processes?
