For those who need help with the latest patch.
This is what worked for me, I'll list a few things I tried on my pc / others and it seemed to have worked.
1. reinstall and restart. You first go into task manager > Close everything to do with valorant. > Click the up arrow at the bottom of your screen and exit riot and vanguard. > Then go to settings > Apps and uninstall valorant > after uninstalling proceed with restarting your device.
2. repair files Open riot games > go into settings > valorant > repair files.
3. Update drivers Go into Geforce > Check for updates > Update > restart your device > start valorant
There are probably more methods you could do but these are the ones that I did / worked for my friends, feel free to share any other ways to solve others issues :)

What is this fix to? To what problems exactly?
Mostly regarding the "Try reinstalling or restarting" when clicking play
You don’t need to reinstall valorant for that
;vgc
- 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.
