application:
Press
Win + R on your keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
Type regedit and press Enter or click OK. This will open the Registry Editor.
In the Registry Editor, use the left sidebar to navigate through the hierarchy. You can do this by clicking on the arrows or double-clicking on the folder icons to expand them.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and expand it.
Next, find and expand the SOFTWARE folder.
Scroll down to Microsoft and expand it.
Continue to Windows NT and then to CurrentVersion.
Finally, click on the Windows folder.
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
should be this directory

@Talonted Gamer @Saucywan please save me ðŸ˜
@jidat u too
its new error for me

take ur time
@Talonted Gamer @Saucywan @jidat basically when i exit vanguard and press play my valorant actually starts up and takes me to home but then a thing appears that says vanguard needs to be enabled so i cant play unless i dont exit vanguard
so its a problem to due with vanguard or something not sure
send ss of that
Hm
basically when i press play after i exit vamgurad it takes me in the game
but then it says u need vanguard on
so it says reboot or quit
when i turn back vanguard and try
it doesnt even load the game
and shows the error
0xc0000142
@Saucywan @Steve From Macrohard
@Steve From Macrohard did you have him manually re-register the DLL, OLE and OCX files?
hmm seems intresting
but i too dont know properly
could also likely be a bad C++ or DX11 or .NET install as well
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
try installing this
send ss from control panel like this
alr
?
discord warning
its microsoft file
i didnt download it yet
but
should i still download it
yep install it
its downloading
it says restart
wait
Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads
This article lists the download links for the latest versions of Visual C++ Redistributable packages.
in thi
damn do you only play valorant?
download this one
wait
yes cause i dont have storage left
i just downloaded the other one
and it just restarted
what now
ok now reboot
i did
i downloaded this one and rebooted
this one did you install ?
no
ok do 2013 one
can u send link got iy
it
nope its blocked here cause of shotucut link do x64 one
this one?
yesp
ok
it said setup successful
now?
did it install ?
yes
i didnt say reboot tho
hmm open game hopefully
it opens
nope
same issue
its not mandatory to reboot after installing C++ redistributables dw
aight
it still didnt work tho
try opening cmd as admin and entering these commands:
what does that do
it registers the dll and ocx files in your system32
it makes sure they are properly in the windows registry
as long as you haven't planted like a full on malware in your system32 its completely safe to run
doesnt wotk
I believe those don't display output so it should be fine
ill run it on my pc too just in case 1s
bet
yeah it just doesn't display output
alr
what do i do know
restart the pc and then try starting riot client again
bc i made riot and valorant and vanguard as exceptional applications and other stuff on my anti virus just incase, all my drivers are up to date and even changed some windows settings from youtube videos
ok\
give me 1 sec
ok ill try running the game now
same error
@Arii @Steve From Macrohard
well its not crazy surprising it didn't work its a rather specific case, have you tried running malwarebytes and a registrycleaner?
i have done registry cleaner
and I think I saw you said you ran sfc and DISM earlier on
yup
so ran malwarebytes and see if its malware impacting it, bit unlikely but could be it
if it doesn't work then lets try clean booting and seeing if its 3rd party interference
what does clean booting do
it starts your pc with only microsoft verified services
so you get no extra stuff from anything you have downloaded in case its messing it up
ok but then how do ik which software is affecting it
and how do i return back to the normal state
binary search
we will simply add back half the programs every single time until it stops working again
then remove half the programs until it starts working again and repeat
this is assuming it even works to clean boot in the first place of course

How To Perform Clean Boot Windows 11/10 Laptop or Desktop PC
The best tutorial on how to perform clean boot on Windows 10 or windows 11 laptop or a desktop computer now the benefit to perform clean boot on windows 11 or any other version of Windows is it will decrease the boot time and increase the performance of your computer so basically basically you need to hide all Microsoft services and then you nee...
is this clean booting
yes, also make sure to keep vgc enabled and to go to the startup tab and disable any startup software you have in there
it is very important that the hide all microsoft services is checked
the guy doesn't ephasize it enough, it is very important, it is a huge hassle to fix if you forget to check it first
nah still dont work
also
why does vgc say stopped
when i never stopped it
its still running?
vgc being stopped is fine
you can open cmd and type in this:
that's the one that is important to be running
yeah your vanguard setup is fine dw
alr
now?
well now there is only one logical thing left I guess and after that its just random obscure things that may/may not fix it
and that would be making sure you have permissions to the entire folder, simple as that
how do i check that
@Arii ?
you would open cmd as admin and enter this:
what is path to folder
path_to_folder would be your
C:\Riot Games\VALORANT equivalent on your pc
your_username would be your windows account username
this command is a lot more verbal so you'll actually see this one work
you don't have icacls at the start
oh
mb
wait do i need the ""
???
@Arii
yeah
also is that the correct user? this one ends with an 'h' but up here you have a different one
>
?
type
whoami into the cmd firstalr
then take the name after the slash
that should be the user you are currently using
yup 0 fails is good
aight
now?
try starting the game again
alright, well shit then its down to random stuff that may or may not work
yeah
ffs
short i made a secpnd windws profile
and try on that
I mean you can try anything at this point
I would probably start with running it manually as admin from the files or something simple like that though
you haven't like done anything weird like moving the game files around or having riot client and valorant on different disks right?
i only have 1 C drive
but abt moving the files maybe
can i sreen share and show u?
sure
can u accept my friend req
i can talk tho
cant
Wtf
?
