Following the release of Patch 9.01, which included crucial updates such as nerfing Iso in the game and changes to VALORANT console, players have reported experiencing game and PC crashes after exiting VALORANT.
A Reddit User by the name of trippingrainbow on the r/ValorantTechSupport subreddit mentioned that their PC crashes 75% of the time they close the game. Similar reports have been echoed by other users, with some experiencing crashes when selecting the option to exit to desktop. This has led to concerns among players regarding potential system issues. Additionally, some players have noted that their PC crashes when using the alt+F4 command in the game.

Another user named Buujoom on the same subreddit mentioned that system logs indicated that the PC enters force reboot mode upon exiting VALORANT. Currently, there is no official fix within VALORANT for the shutdown error, and players are advised to refrain from playing the game until a patch is released. Even reinstalling the game has not resolved the issue for many fans, and Riot Games has not provided an official fix on their support website.
As of now, the only workaround for the error is to restart your PC if it crashes upon exiting VALORANT. We will update this article with a solution once it becomes available.
