Valorant wont launch
Hoping someone can help here.
I was playing Val yesterday with no problems, today I wanted to open and it wont launch.
I launches to the "PLAY" screen. I had to update so I clicked update and then play and nothing happened. I tried running as administrator and still nothing opens.
I ran Riot as administrator and it opened, when i click play it loads for a few seconds and then the play button screen is back again and I cant get further than that.
When I exit Vanguard my game loads but then I get the error that Vanguard needs to be installed before the game will run.
Below are the "fixes" i have tried.
- Reinstalled about 6 or more times to different folders each time
- Checked my drivers and windows updates and they all updated.
- Made sure my Secure BOOT and TPM are enabled in my BIOS
- Uninstalled Vanguard only and reinstalled
- VGC is on automatic and enabled
- Vanguard tray Notification is app is turned on
This happened to me in January and I eventually reformatted my pc. Trying to avoid that this time.
I did get an email from Riot in January with some steps to try which I did back then but not really sure if I did them right, maybe someone with more PC knowledge can hop into a call and help?
