Update Files Missing..Cant fix why?
I've been getting the same msg for the last few days. The update option comes but when I click Update, this notification saying "cant access update files needed to update" arrives. I've tried uninstalling valorant but doesnt work!
Solution
This issue can occur for a few different reasons such as file corruption, missing permissions, or network issues. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve it:
1. Run as Administrator: Ensure you are running both VALORANT and the Riot Client as an administrator. Right-click the shortcut and select "Run as administrator".
2. Repair the Riot Client:
- Open the Riot Client.
- Go to the settings and find the repair tool. Use it to repair the game files.
3. Check Permissions:
- Ensure the game folder is not set to "Read-only".
- Navigate to the VALORANT installation folder, right-click the folder, go to "Properties", and make sure the "Read-only" box is unchecked.
4. Check Firewall/Security Software:
- Ensure that VALORANT and the Riot Client are allowed through your firewall and antivirus software.
5. Clear the DNS Cache:
- Open Command Prompt as an admin and run these commands:
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, there may be a deeper issue that requires direct support from Riot Games. You can submit a ticket here: Riot Support
