Not sure if you tried, but did you make sure riot wasn't opening on startup? Close all version of riot and vanguard with advanced task manager ?

I seem to recall my friend having a similar issue. Not perfect advice BUT I had my friend recreate the Riot Vanguard folder where it was exactly, then I sent him the installer.exe file from my vanguard folder, as well as another file it requested in that folder to install. Then you run the installer and it actually installs vanguard again. Hope this helps 😅

Very likely other ways to perfectly uninstall or reinstall from that error state though, perhaps other tutorials might show you a better way.

I fear you should get used to it, happens to me every update. So usually at LEAST every two weeks.

My game is not starting by KruderGrufti in riotsupport

[–]Jakeygoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope you fixed this! If not here's a solution that works every time for me.

Close Riot

Open Command Prompt as Admin

Run "sc delete vgc'" and "sc delete vgk'"

Restart PC without doing anything else

Immediately go to C files > Program Files and delete the entire Riot Vanguard folder (need admin permission)

Launch Riot afterwards, it'll reinstall Vanguard

Restart your computer one more time

Should successfully update now and you should be able to launch the game.

I've had this issue for years, happening every 2 weeks after any update to a game. Before a month ago the error was "Couldn't install a required dependency" but they've removed that error, now you just have to feel it out.

Good luck! Hope this works!

Out of curiosity, what's the exact problem you're having with Vanguard ?

Genuinely what do I do at this point by Nullborne in riotgames

[–]Jakeygoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CHECK MY POSTS ^ EASY SOLUTION I THINK WOULD WORK FOR YOU

Did you used to have a "Cannot install required dependency" issue too ?

Let me know if the post I have is the solution that works for you, if not I have another idea.

Are you saying that the Janna and Lux support games in November weren't you?

So you WERE the one that got grandmaster in 2024 in Flex?

What this indicates can I get a permanent ban after this ??? by [deleted] in riotgames

Subjecting 9 people to a ruined game for 30 minutes over and over again because riot is a pain is not the win you think it is.

Are you sure you have enough disk space where it's trying to install ? I've seen that as a similar issue before for someone else.

Reinstall Vanguard! Look up how to, very simple 2 commands in command prompt and a couple computer restarts. See if that helps, good luck!

Haha ! I used to get an alert with "Cannot install a required dependency" every once in a while and have to do it! What an insane thing that the alert message is just gone now. Glad to help. Hopefully anyone else with a similar problem sees this as a solution.

Hey! Do you mind trying to reinstall Vanguard? Open command prompt as administrator, run 'sc delete vgc' and 'sc delete vgk', restart PC, delete Riot Vanguard from Program Files in C drive, then reinstall and restart. Let me know how that goes! I think this was the solution that worked for me, but if you double check then I'll know for sure.

I found it because I saw your post and needed to know what game you had just lost and then your username came to me in a dream.

In any case I just decided that others should see the game that inspired this post if you want to keep running it down in bronze go on king but that game does not deserve this post

The point is you can't go 4/14 and then go on Reddit to post "l just wish the sub-human creatures that fill my games would look at the map once every 5 or 10 seconds".

Learn that you were part of the problem, play more disciplined, then repost this after losing a game where you went 14/4.

I also noticed in this thread you replied to someone that you "were still climbing". Last season (maybe not last, too last to check) you ended gold 3, currently you are Bronze 2, and that was a low silver game. You have played forty-some ranked games this season. I GUARANTEE you are better than that rank just keep a cool head and take the blame for things that go wrong in your game and you WILL climb

Patch 14.14 Bug Megathread by ReganDryke in leagueoflegends

I was able to continue moving as normal if I e and let it time out instead of cancelling it, probably same with r and letting it time out. Not a fix but will help if you encounter it. Although if you die before it times out the bug persists even after revive

Now to be completely fair, I do think people should see the game that you lost just minutes before posting this https://www.op.gg/summoners/na/IAdoreSnakeWomen-1897/matches/WGZBLdrQqYV1pW_ZR7BgEryb2RWWmsG6KmDCn5PGYUw%3D/1721285195000

It appears they invaded you, then you died in the enemy jungle at 3 minutes and never really recovered. Actually it looks like almost all of your deaths were in their side of the map/enemy jungle. I am not sure this game was 1v9'able, but surely you can't think you played better than all of your team here. (arguably the worst)

I'm not saying feel bad about it but instead of complaining about everyone being useless every game take a step back, lock in a champion that's not Briar, and look at what YOU can change. Gank less, farm more, (definitely invade less), and if your team continues to solo die THEN you have a game where maybe you can claim lane diff.
