- Open the Task Manager > Details tab
- End the task on all VALORANT, Riot Client and VANGUARD-related apps/services
- Open the Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
- Uninstall Riot VANGUARD
- Open CMD as Admin and type these commands:
- sc delete vgc
- sc delete vgk
- Navigate to your C: Drive, then Program Files
- Find the VANGUARD folder and delete it
- Open the Riot Client and click update
- Restart your computer after the update
After you’re done with that:
- Press Windows key + R
- Type services.msc
- Look for vgc
- Right-click on vgc > Properties
- Change the startup type to automatic
- Start the services (if not started already)
We will be waiting for your response, thank you.
@kaesen.KC follow these steps
👍
if it don’t work then meta will help you
Pretend I’m not here
nahhh
You gotta take the initiative
The pc would catch on fire
just like that
lemme touch yo pc meta rq
get the fire extinguisher tho
:val_HUH:
lmfao
@Kris ^
No problem, go next step
ok
yo do u fixed it?
cuz i have the same problem
Follow the same steps
okay
always replying faster than me :Reyna_Angry:
:AA_Umaru_Smile:
Type services.msc
Look for vgc
didnt find the vgc file
i dont have Vanguard file in drive C
same
It’s fine go next step
no vgc in services.msc
Did you open riot client and click on update
update valorant?
Yes click update
okk
Then restart pc
umh i am also facing the same problem
Try the steps above
i just tried
and now its stuck again
its not downloading anythinng
stuck at 0
there no vgc
after i restart
Did you download it from the Riot Client?
download what
vgc?
yes
i think yes
ok riot vangaurd is installed again
but its still
not updating
i just tried this on my friends account
for some reason
it says play
but for me
it says update
Does it get stuck at 0%?
yeah
on my accocunt it stays 0
Does it give the same error or gets stuck at downloading?
after that it says need to install required dependency
but on my friends account it dont say that it says play
@Metamorphosis do you have any ideas other than the one sent by the bot?
yeah it stuck at 0%
and no vgc
but what would happend if i just unintall the game and reinstall?
same
can i do that
I guess it’s a shot at this point
i still dont understand
i can play on my friends acc
but not on mine
that’s really weird
Vanguard releases are gradually rolled out usually, might be related to that
is it because i got 2 weeks ingame ban?
idk really know
what was the ban for?
idk i wasnt even toxic it was my friends
and they banned me
for 2weeks
comp ban and unrated
funny thing is my friends didnt got banned
it was only me
have anyone fix this
no
Nope I'm facing the same issue and I've never been banned b4
Did you try appealing it via support?
i did they keep doing same automated reply
i dont get ban or anything but it still the same
like i was being "toixc"
doing good like hour ago then this happen
my friends literally said "your mom black?"
but i didnt say shit
….
ik it kinda messed up but wheres my fault bruh
Is the ticket still open or nah?
Did you try the steps above?
#111740065
ticket id
it says waiting for your reply
yess i try everything i can find online
ill try update my nvidia driver
that might be the issue
What did support say? You might need to reply to the ticket
There’s not much you can do once they deny your appeal.
i try to launch valorant on amd software
i mean
what to do
Ask them for the chat history and the message that u got banned for
it work but it said Error code van83
They usually give the chat history
ok
They can provide that?
I have seen a few people getting the chat history yes
Not everytime tho
wish I known that when I got muted
man at this point
ima
just
reinstall
hopefullly it will work
Whats even the issue for u
The comp ban or what
no
Vanguard won’t install dependencies
the update issue
it works on my friends acc but not on mine
crazy
I reinstalled and now it works
alr
uninstall it from control panel?
reinstall valo?
Yess
alright mines installing again
why is it so slow😔
...
am gonna cry if this shit shows update
Do u have any antivirus installed
yep
i have one
Which one
Malwarebytes
Disable it
bro what
i did
rn
Try to update again
Or restart ur pc once
Then try to update again
👀
Should I turn off windows defender before updating?
Windows defender should be fine usually
Seeing the sheer amount of people with this issue
Its most likely vanguard sided and you may have to wait for em to fix it
can it be riot client bug
Tried logging in different account it works
reinstalling:val_KekwSob:
but why can i play it on another account?
U can?
i can
Press win+r
Type msinfo32
Show ss
hollon its installing

Hmm
Me too
Do something for me rq
Log into the account on which the game is working
Open the game
While the game is open
Open command prompt as admin
Type these commands
sc query vgk
One account has an update one doesn't? or is this a different issue.
sc query vgc
Show result for both
Because that sounds.

Go to riot clint folder and u will find valorant folder just take a backup of it and uninstall valorant and riot Client then reinstall riot Client and when u select install select already installed then select the valorant folder u backed up done( also don't forget to delete the riot Client folder after uninstall)
tabbing back to val shows white screen for like 2 seconds is that normal
i have vanguard and its letting me play on a new account but not my own
this
im on my siblings acc rn but i fr cant enter mine
valorant do u wanna suck on my 🍆
?
Solution
download this, and run with administrator cmd.exe like this:
is there a fix for this?
@junimo
i have the issue fixed
but just on a another account
whenver i try my main it says the same thing
it should do a silent install, after like a minute go to C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard folder and confirm vgk.sys file version is 1.17.1.49 instead of 1.17.1.47
and then go back to your main and see if you can play
i fixed my issue just using a vpn
yeah it makes sense, because my guess is somehow riot client isn't able to download the vanguard installer properly
sry this file i run then it says is uninstall the vanguard only
don't click it directly
i run as adminstrator
BRO I CLICKED IT
i deleted vanguard as a whole
if you click directly it just uninstalls vanguard
use command line to install like I described
can you please dm me the steps? @junimo
use administrator cmd.exe and run it like this
C:\Users\junimo\Downloads\setup_49.exe --install
what if i have it installed already
it looks like mine is outdated
do i have to delete vanguard or just update it?
yeah that's outdated
you don't need to delete to update
ok so i download the setup file and
run that command
then restart?
yeah
run from commandline with --install
dont do this right
just copy C:\Users\junimo\Downloads\setup_49.exe --install this?
you need to change the path to your own, so my username is junimo so I used that
its not working
change junimo to whatever your path name is
i run as administrator still unistall
i alr change
its the correct version now
yeah good job you did it
now try to play
trying
how
i cant use mine
;-;
btw
open C:
then go to users
how do i see my path name
or wait
where did you download it
still stuck
its in my downloads
close riot client and restart it
at downloads
copy file location
"C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\setup_49.exe"
right click then copy as path
then put --install at the end
like this
C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\setup_49.exe --install
anyone fix the problem?
@Xavier did restarting riot client fix it for you
i read all this messege and confused XD
wait let me check
nah
still
It told me to restart my pc
Im doing it right now
is it like this?
yes
?
what is this
did i need to delte users jinha?
Best outcome
oh
mt
Means vanguard was installed
not sure just run the command first
oh my
IM IN
YAY
after i press enter i just loading then nothing happens
Did it work?
THANK YOU @junimo :chickheart:
yeah it's not supposed to show anything, it installs silently
It doesnt show any progress bar of the install btw, youll have to check by going to vanguard folder then checking properties of .sys
"C:\Users-------\Downloads\setup_49.exe" is my path
is this correct?
the only way you can confirm it installed is check the file version of vgk.sys
im gonna reboot first
oh isaw it alr
eh
How do i fix
thank you
The install issue
@alst | #1 fracture fanyo can u dm
me
guys
hello
why we all got the same issue
?
yesterday valorant was fine for me
how can i fix it
i reinstalled
valorant
It works
thank you @junimo
but still
how
C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\setup_49.exe"
right click then copy as path
then put --install at the end
like this
C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\setup_49.exe --install
?
too lol
is there an easier way to fix this
wait ill write a step by step for you guys
dont reinstall
it wont work
okk
cuz im not very knowlegeable on laptops
how u get this?
thats the easiest
i saw it up
so i copied it
and pasted it
ok okay
asking if its right
;p
cant riot just come up with a patch fix or something
i think they will fix it
dunno
anyways
xavior
can ut ell us
yes yes
ok guys so this proves it's not vanguard that's broken, I think it's just something about the riot client servers not being able transfer the new vanguard installer properly
did i need to restart my laptop?
oh
but
vanguard unable to download
i dont have it
so will it be fixed by riot eventually?
after reinstalling
I'll ask riot client folks to fix it
or do we all have to do this coding stuff
meanwhile use installer
oh ok
?
IM INNN
thanks for helping my brain dead self
happy you
lol
bcs here doesn t show vanguard

im seeing vgc
i typed out an 8 step message
just for this
💔
:val_KekwSob:
broski, how do i update the version?

ive got this
vgk.sys
that one
yes
@Xavier
you wanna right click on it
what next
and
propertes
go to properties
do i restart pc
if you got it install it alr update
details
@Xavier @junimo
yep thats all good
restart your pc and run valo
yes
ok
Someone said they used vpn and it fixed
click the product version?
Lol
i pressed that and i pressed ok
is that it?
as junimo said its because
riot client is unable to get the
correct vanguard version
the latest version is 1.17.1.49
i had .41
:val_Heh:
what do i do
i think this might be an issue in apac only
I reinstalled it worked
because other people dont seem to be having it
after install that file
check vgk.sys file
in program files
wait
what program?
riot vanguard
it should have a folder in your program files
go to drive
C drive
ok
wait
i have to run that thing first?
setup_49
did you finish running that command in
command prompt
nah
ok then first run that setup as
admin
ok
no no run the
setup file
setup_49
is it working now?
in downloads
oh
mb
yep
aight ima try once I got back home
it works
hi op
LOL
Its working for me now
nothing happend
thanks everyone who helped my half brain cells
ok now right click on the setup file
copy as path
then paste it here
im just glad it work i was hella frustrated
real man
thanks again though
junimo is the one to thank
i was gonna go crazy
wheres the file?
@junimo we love you
what is copy as path?
it copies the location of that file
so your command prompt knows what file youre tryna run
"C:\Users\napan\Downloads\setup_49.exe"
C:\Users\napan\Downloads\setup_49.exe --install
run this command in command prompt
and make sure you start command prompt as admin
yes now go to program files
ok
then riot vanguard folder
ok
ok now
vgk.sys
right click on that file
ok
and click properties
then details
done
and screenshot that
yes its fixed now
restart your pc and
launch valo
ok
tyyy
