VALORANT Support
Your Firewall VS. VALORANT
If you've encountered Error Code 29, chances are something has gone awry in the interplay between VALORANT and Windows Firewall. This can be further complicated if you're running antivirus software...
ok thxx
Lmk if it gives anymore error codes after that
ok ill tell ya
🙁
i just wanna play valorant
What other antivirus do you use?
Also, do you happen to have a vpn enabled?
Bitdefender, Norton,
you
use
two????
yes
You'll have to go into both apps & add valorants exclusion list
You can update your anti-virus's settings by adding VALORANT's applications to its list of exceptions. These are the default paths for VALORANT's applications that your anti-virus program will ask for when adding them as exceptions:
C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\VALORANT.exe
C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\ShooterGame\Binaries\Win64\VALORANT-Win64-Shipping
C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealCEFSubProcess.exe
C:\Riot Games\Riot Client\Riot Client Services.exe
C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\vgc.exe
C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\vgm.exe
If you decided to install VALORANT elsewhere, the path will be different.

Do you happen to have parental settings on your PC?
Have you ever had this issue before?
the val 29?
yes

Are you new to valorant?

Can you go through your apps list and double check to make sure your parents didn't install an antivirus?
ok
Is this a new PC or no?
it is not
Did your parents setup parental settings on your PC?
idk
theres was no antiviruses
can you ask them?
Also, do you have a stable internet connection?

okay
do you have a stable internet connection?
ye
Are you able to try using another internet connection just to test if you get the same error?

If this doesnt work try restarting your PC
and run the riot client as admin

@video game console Go to Settings -> Accounts -> Family then scroll to the bottom

dms rn
nope
reinstall vanguard what u think
Try
;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.
