How to fix Valorant's 'couldn't install a required dependency' issue
Ran into this error myself and it's super annoying, but here's the fix that worked for me: First up, make sure your Windows is fully updated. Outdated OS versions can mess with Valorant. Next, try running the Valorant installer as an admin cuz sometimes it’s just a permission issue. If those two don’t work, disable your antivirus temporarily during the install. Antivirus software can sometimes block the install thinking it's suspicious. Last resort, uninstall and redownload the installer. A fresh start might just be what you need!
