There’s no solution even after reinstalling and uninstalling the game. The problem has affected players wide and far, from Daniel ‘ddk’ Kapadia to former T1 pro Tyler ‘Skadoodle’ Latham.

However, the Vanguard update was conflicting with FACEIT. It is a popular third-party client for CS:GO.

Valorant Vanguard issues

It is said that uninstalling FACEIT or updating this to its latest version will help in fixing the issues. Valorant patch 2.05 has been full of issues since its launch. On its patch day, some players were blocked out of launching the game because of their anti-virus software.

While Riot has installed many fixes throughout the week to try and handle the problem, some prolonged issues are possibly unrelated to the anti-virus.
