Valorant cheat loader not working? Fixes for the usual problems
Troubleshooting: Valorant Cheats
Loader won't open, menu won't show, or the game crashes? Work through these fixes before opening a ticket.
Start with the basics
Most loader problems come from a short list of causes: outdated game build, security software, missing runtimes or a stale download.
Loader won’t open
- Run as administrator.
- Temporarily disable third-party antivirus or add an exclusion for the loader folder.
- Install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable and .NET runtime.
- Re-download the loader from your dashboard; old copies stop working after updates.

Menu doesn’t appear in game
- Confirm the game is running in borderless/windowed-fullscreen, if your product guide recommends it.
- Check your menu key and that no overlay app (Discord, GeForce, Steam) is conflicting.
- Launch order matters: follow the exact order in your setup guide.
Game crashes on launch
- Update graphics drivers.
- Close all overlays and screen recorders.
- Verify game files, then restart the PC.
Vanguard errors
If you see a Vanguard error such as VAN9003 or VAN9001, it’s usually a Windows security setting (Secure Boot/TPM). See Valorant cheat system requirements.
Still stuck?
Collect: your Windows version, the exact error text, a screenshot and the time it happened. Then open a ticket through support or post on the forum.
