How to Fix 'Your Game Requires a System Restart' in Valorant
Hey! So you're hitting the 'Your game requires a system restart' error in Valorant, right? Classic! This usually pops up because of the Vanguard anti-cheat system needing some fresh air. First things first, give your PC the ol' reboot. Sounds simple, but it's like giving your computer a mini vacation. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling Vanguard. Just head to the Valorant folder, find the Vanguard folder, and hit uninstall. Once that's done, launch Valorant again, and it should prompt you to reinstall Vanguard. Restart one more time for good measure, and you should be golden!
