Try adding those exc from this - https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048522893-Your-Firewall-VS-VALORANT
VALORANT Support
Your Firewall VS. VALORANT
If you've encountered Error Code 29, chances are something has gone awry in the interplay between VALORANT and Windows Firewall. This can be further complicated if you're running antivirus software...
yes
run the game as admin, try launching it via the riot client as well
not directly via the val shortcut
if you have some AVs active, you might wanna just disable them temporarily, Norton, mcafee, avast etc
virtual machines too
i did it and still not working
hm

Hello I have tried following this tutorial, when I clicked on startup tab, there was nothing there it just said open task manager
that's from a microsoft thread
I am sorry but I am very much not smart enough to undderstand that especially Startup folder under Programs in both your personal start menu." I disabled the things in service tab lemme see if valorant works
you can try skipping the step yeah
still cant get it to work 😭
Does riot client show up with this sometimes?
no, it jsut doesnht even bother to show up
check your task manager
if its in the background close it
and reopen
Hey, I did the whole firewall valorant thing, clean boot, etc. I have no clue if i did anything wrong but valorant does not want to open at all unless i exit vanguard
When i exit vanguard the game actually opens but it just gives me that reboot error thing
Thers a problem with your vanguard i guess
Repair valo?
I mean you did a clean boot so its a freshlt installed valorant
Idk anymore
Well the only thing left to do is wait, because whenever ive seen someone try to help, its always a “Nope, didnt work” instead of “Thanks pal”
Dont waste time on such a buggy game
Like the repair button in riot?
Ye
try that for now
It was working perfectly fine yesterday, ive been trying to fix it for like the past 8 hours
Wait it out for a couple days
trust
Hopefully that works
Prove me wrong I derank to iron

Have u tried opening it on another acocunf?

Yea
yo if this is the reason
im praying they revert this
Is it error 43?
If so most likely xD
nah no errors
just straight to task manager
What about this
reboot error thin
Btw i think this happens in only certain areas
Not just randomly
all my friends that live near me/in my country have this bug
it just shows a close or reboot option
Never heard offhat
Never seen**

but it looks like this
Oh
You need vanguard opened
yeah but when i have vanguard open it just never opens
but when vanguard opens, it bugs your valorant..
