How should I start?
2 days ago,I've been configurating my pc with the typicals video of how to make valorant better and that stuff,and i could run valorant,that's in the evening and then at night,idk why,I cannot run valorant
I watched a lot of videos to make valorant run again,the vgc service,uninstall and install the vanguard and more, and valorant doesn't run.
Yesterday one guy of the forum had an issue with valorant and I tried some advice for some replies but nothing changed
The weird thing is i cannot uninstall vanguard and valorant and when I go to the riot games app,then valorant,shows me play with Grey colour and a message that says,valorant I running but is false
If someone can help me, I'll appreciate it a lot
Thanks

Time for a windows reinstall, I guess
Or reset (if you made a recovery drive)

What are you system specifications?
Like your ram, processor etc

Try to install game again without deleting it using Install Valorant .exe file, it will repair the game automatically just keep the location of installation folder same as previous.

By the way what's the issue with uninstalling ? And have you tried to uninstall from control panel?

Uninstall all Riot-related apps incl. Valorant. Restart your pc and this time install Valorant in a different drive altogether,

I don't have solution, but problems like these seem to be relativel common at times. I have had like 3 times when the game has literally been unplayable due to some problem and I just had to wait for new update. Once I couldn't open it for couple of weeks, contacted support and everything and no one was able to help.

Also once I had to uninstall my anti virus software (Kaspersky at the time) to make Valorant work, so maybe that is something you could try and then re-install AV.

I had a similiar issue yesterday and im more than ready to help.

First, start Valorant. Then go to Taskmanager. If you see an application called "BootstrapperPackedGame" with a Valorant icon never endingly running under the Backgroundapps, then congrats you got a fix.

  1. Disable Avast Antivirus OR make an Exception for Valorant.

Disabling is the easy way. How to make an exception.
Go to Avast Antivirus Panel. Go to menu. Settings. Exceptions. Go there and make an exception for both the VALORANT file and the RIOT GAMES file. They should be in the C:\Programs\ folder or similiar.
Then go again to Programs and try to find Riot Vanguard and make an exception for it aswell. If my explanation was dogshit then just disable the antivirus that should fix it.

IF THIS WAS NOT THE INITIAL BUG TRY THESE THINGS

Go to Valorant Folder, Right click Valorant.exe and put "Run as Administrator". Maybe that should help. You can also go and try to put "Run as Admnistrator" in the Valorant Folder --> Shotergame --> Binaries and then on an application with the Valorant Icon aswell (cant remember the name)

Thats all i have

I had the same issue. The fix was to just turn off msi afterburner, as that was the program that was causing the game to not even launch.
If you don't have msi afterburner, chances are you have a program running that is conflicting with the game, so you might want to try closing some programs you have
Hope it helps
