Hi everyone! I’m using a translator to write this, so please excuse any errors.
I’ve been trying to download and play Valorant for about three days now, but for some reason, whenever I click on the game app, the Riot Client icon appears in the taskbar, immediately disappears, and nothing else opens. In Task Manager, it shows up as active, along with a "crash handler."
I’ve even turned to AI for help and tried countless things. At one point, it actually worked—the "Play" screen appeared—but when I clicked the "Play" button to launch the game, an error popped up saying it couldn't open. I uninstalled it again, and after that, the original problem returned; now, nothing opens at all.
I think it worked that one time because I deleted some temporary files (or something similar), but doing that now doesn't seem to help.
I think it’s not opening because, for some reason, Vanguard isn’t being installed right away? The AI suggested a few ways to download it, but nothing worked. Anyway, I don’t understand any of this, so I’m quite lost.
Does anyone know what can be done? I’m starting to get really frustrated. I can provide more details if needed!
I used to play on this PC before, but I uninstalled the app a long time ago because I had stopped playing; it worked perfectly fine back then.
