critical error

does anyone know how to fix that goddamn critical error thing that happens when opening Valorant? just wanted to try the map a bit.
tried the shitty yt videos but no luck. uninstalled vanguard, reinstalled the game but still the same.
any solid fix?

uninstalled and delete all directory and traces?

general uninstallation still has remnants of the previous installation that hampers future processes

I used to get VAL1 and VAL5 error sometimes. So what I do used to do was uninstalling and reinstalling the game again till the bug goes away. I have 150MBps so didn't take much time for installing. Maybe you can create a complaint as it might be due to some backend server problem as well!

yeah do this, like delete the whole folder. This may help

update on this, even may be you don't want it.
it was happening because I had afterburner and rivatuner running in the background. closed them and the game started to work as before.
