Hi.
I updated valorant after around 3-4 months, but i kept getting stuck trying to "update" the game. when I finally got to launch the game i would get a VAN -79 error, which i realized was probably because my vanguard was out of date and the launcher would refuse to update it for some reason.
i manually uninstalled vanguard (followed a guide from support) to have riot client install it again but that it still didn't work, now i would get the prompt to install vanguard, andafter pressing update it would say "installing" but then it would and just say "install vanguard" next to "play" now. launching the game in this state now gave a VAN-83 error.
I tried doing a "clean boot" which also didn't work for me.
i thought maybe the launcher can't download vanguard and i got the installer directly but that also didn't work.
I even tried installing another riot game to see if that would install vanguard instead but no luck.
i've ran out of options at this point so i'd appreciate any help.
