Valorant Doesnt launch after pressing play (No error message)
Whenever I press play valorant does not start and simply reopens riot client. I tried all of the fixing methods wether that being deleting the whole game and re-installing it, clean installing, compatibility mode, deleting the vgc and vgk service, etc.. On another note, my vgc service is running and is set to automatic as well.

Press windows key
Search “msconfig”
And open “System Configuration”
Head to “Services” tab
Check “Hide all Microsoft services”
And then “Disable all”
And find “vgc” and enable that only
Open “Task Manager”
Then head to “Startup Apps”
And disable all
Then restart your pc
After doing this I got a error code "OxcOOOO142" upon pressing play

Did you leave vgc enabled ^ :val_Okayge:
I left vgc enabled in services and its currently running right now.
The error message dissapeared again
now its back to the launcher re-opening when clicking play
Idk how but my game randomly started but now Im recieving this error msg

;vgc
- Open the Task Manager > Details tab
- End the task on all VALORANT, Riot Client and VANGUARD-related apps/services
- Open the Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
- Uninstall Riot VANGUARD
- Open CMD as Admin and type these commands:
- sc delete vgc
- sc delete vgk
- Navigate to your C: Drive, then Program Files
- Find the VANGUARD folder and delete it
- Open the Riot Client and click update
- Restart your computer after the update
After you’re done with that:
- Press Windows key + R
- Type services.msc
- Look for vgc
- Right-click on vgc > Properties
- Change the startup type to automatic
- Start the services (if not started already)
We will be waiting for your response, thank you.
