play button grayed out
been happening since yesterday, the day before i was playing with no issues whatsover. ive reinstalled valorant and the riot client overnight and the exact same thing is happening
Talso tried following a yt video claiming to fix the issue, to no avail (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKnkXFiWIeE)
Talso if i wait enough, i hear the windows error sound
Teven though the game doesnt run, its still using a ton of resources on my pc
NSame problem with me
SHow long have you waited before?
Tthe video is 2x
SHow long is that?
SAnd I’m not asking about the video
SDepending on your system, it could take up to a couple minutes
SFor the valorant application to pop up
Ti have a high end pc, it always runs val pretty quick, im having the exact same issue as everyone else
SThis is not the same issue
SAnd I’m still asking how long you have waited please answer
Tokay i just ran it, how long should i wait before you think its an issue
S10 minutes
Tthats fine ill come back in 10
Ti keep getting this windows error sound after a minute or so after running val
Tnever happened before this issue started
Tin the 10 minutes that passed, valorant kept shuffling from 0%-5%-10% CPU usage, till at around 9 minutes, when it vanished from the task manager
SCheck riot client
SIs the play button lit up?
Tyea, it was grayed out when i tried to start valorant
S- Reinstalled Valorant
- Right clicked in the shortcut, went to compatibility and ticked run as administrator.
- Selected run this program in compatibility mode > windows 8
- Opened Virus and threat protection > manage settings > turned off "Real-Time Protection
- Opened Virus and threat protection from the "Search" tab > Add or remove exclusions > added my riot folder
- Opened System Configuration > services > tick "Hide all Microsoft services" > disabled all > ticked steam, vgc and restarted my pc
- Opened Riot shortcut as administrator, clicked play and it opened
SPlease try this ^
Tgame's still not launching
SYeah, that’s what I predicted because you don’t have the same issue as everyone else
Teverything seems to be around the same
Solution
SPlease download autoruns
Tdid you notice anything different
SFrom?
୨Is there a possibility that this could be a bug or smth? Bc why r so many people having the same issue
SLike I said in a different post, I haven’t received confirmation that this is a bug
Tissues
Ti got autoruns
SFor everyone else the game closes on automatically
SYours doesn’t
Twhat do i do ive got the UI opened
SGo to file then run as a administrator
SThen wait for everything to load
SAfter a bit, everything should’ve loaded and uncheck anything that is red or yellow
SExcluding Vanguard and things that failed to be unchecked
Tso do i restart
Tmy pc now?
SAfter everything is unchecked, yes
Tokay how should i try to run val?
Tthrough riot or through the val shortcut?
SYes
Tor is it more or less the same
SDoesn’t really matter
