Jump to updating

Installation

Following these instructions will result in the program automatically launching with VALORANT

NOTE: Upon downloading, your browser might mark the file as dangerous, but this is a false-positive and can be ignored (all the code is open-source)

Part 1: Creating a folder for the executable

1. Create a folder for the extension; this folder should be stored somewhere safe where it will not be moved
   • it is recommended to create a folder in C:\Program Files\ called "valorant-rpc"
2. Move the executable to the folder created in step 1

NOTE: Antivirus/Windows Defender might mark the executable as a potentially unwanted app, this is a false-positive

Windows Defender: Select Allow on device and Start actions to allow the extension to run

3. Copy the path to the executable for a later step
   • if the folder was made under "C:\Program Files\valorant-rpc", the path would be "C:\Program Files\valorant-rpc\valorant-rpc.exe"

Part 2: Changing the VALORANT launch target

1. Locate the VALORANT shortcut

   • if you typically launch from your desktop, locate the VALORANT icon
   • if you typically launch from the search bar, search for VALORANT and open the file location

2. Right click on the shortcut/icon, then select Properties

3. In the Target box, paste the path to valorant-rpc.exe from part 1, step 3, then select Apply

4. Launch VALORANT! The console will appear and launch the game, then minimize to the system tray.

Updating

1. Navigate to the folder created in part 1, step 3 of installation
2. Delete the old valorant-rpc.exe and replace it with the new executable

NOTE: Antivirus might flag the new executable as malware; follow the same steps outlined in part 1, step 2 of installation
