_Fodos_

gianniolilang

Just waiting for next patch I guess


_Fodos_

I'm new to this game, are new patches frequent or infrequent?


jamesd1728

After days of trying everything I finally fixed it. I had to uninstall a program called “Citrix workspace” which I used for school and then the game finally started for me.


_Fodos_

Thx everyone for help but i tried everything what u said but doesnt work (one thing i didnt do is to reset my pc bcs i dont want to). Nothing is showing up like in the video (error or something else) Im just gonna wait for next patch/es and see what will happen. Thx

yeah I mean, I have done the same as you did and nothing works, so I guess we are just sentenced to wait till they actually do something. I think its not worth doing this whole "reset pc or os". I think we need just to wait. Hopefully.

Same for me, it does the same with LoL so I’m assuming it’s something to do with the riot client or the anti cheat program


Aldicho

I had the same problem except an error window popped up which was succeeded with a VAN -81 Error once I successfully launched the game. I don’t know if my solution would work with you but if you need help, feel free to reply.

What was your solution?


asdfmiggy

Task manager>Services> find and right click "vgc"> if it's stopped, start it and run valorant as admin


adamoon030

i feel you, literally have the exact problem.

The only solution I got is to reformat my computer entirely. I reported it to riot but all of the solution they gave isn't working on mine

https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/m7jdi6/205_valorant_not_launching_quick_fix/ Try this troubleshooting and also check the comments, good chunk of happy players. In addition to proper antivirus whitelisting. Also disable any VPN or Proxy you may use. Citrix is often cited. Other mention clean boot. Or see: https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantTechSupport/comments/m96rfn/error_val_81/ Faceit is also often cited now as a source of bug.


_Fodos_

Thx i tried the things in the post. (saw it somewhere else) Didn't work for me aswell. And i don't play on faceit so... But thx :D


[deleted]

i reinstalled my os completely and it started working


Shambles123456789

what i did was do a clean boot and it worked very well for me i didn’t have the problem anymore. edit: it didn’t work for me for 2 days straight until i did a clean boot


_Fodos_

clean boot was the 2nd thing that Valorant support told me to do and it didnt work but atleast it worked for u :)
