I keep getting this error when i try to launch Valorant. I have already installed the DirectX installation and it just says that no installation is necessary. Also, I have fully re installed the game, and just recently re installed Windows onto my computer.

Hi,

Try performing an offline installation of DirectX using the link below: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109

Select a folder to extract the DirectX files to, then locate and run the dxsetup.exe file.

After installing, check if you are using the latest GPU driver version.

What is your GPU model?

Thanks.
