Looking to tweak VALORANT’s launch behavior for better performance or fixes? Here’s how to apply additional command line arguments using Riot’s launcher and Windows shortcuts.

🔧 What Are Command Line Arguments?

Command line arguments are extra instructions you can provide to a program before it launches. For VALORANT, they can help in:

• Improving performance
• Skipping intro videos
• Adjusting display settings
• Debugging

🛠️ Method 1: Add Launch Options via Windows Shortcut

VALORANT doesn’t have a built-in “Launch Options” box like Steam games, but you can manually configure them through a shortcut.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Create a Shortcut for VALORANT
   • Go to your desktop or folder
   • Right-click → New → Shortcut
   • Browse to: C:Riot GamesVALORANTliveVALORANT.exe
   • Click Next and name the shortcut.
2. Add Command Line Arguments
   • Right-click the shortcut → Properties
   • In the Target field, add your arguments after the quotes.
     Example: "C:Riot GamesVALORANTliveVALORANT.exe" -windowed -noborder
3. Apply and Launch
   • Click Apply then OK
   • Use this shortcut to launch VALORANT with the specified options

🛠️ Method 2: Use Riot Client Parameters

You can also launch via the RiotClientServices.exe (indirect method).

1. Create a shortcut for Riot Client: C:Riot GamesRiot ClientRiotClientServices.exe
2. Add this to the shortcut’s target: --launch-product=valorant --launch-patchline=live
3. Combine with extra args like: --launch-product=valorant --launch-patchline=live -windowed -noborder

🧪 Common Launch Arguments for VALORANT

⚠️ Note: Some arguments may not work due to Riot’s anti-cheat or locked client behavior.

🚫 Limitations & Warnings

• Vanguard (Riot’s anti-cheat) might ignore or restrict some flags.
• These tweaks won’t allow cheats or unfair advantages and are mostly visual/performance related.
• Make sure you run the shortcut as Administrator if needed.

✅ Tips for Better Performance

• Use -windowed -noborder to reduce alt-tab delay
• Force DirectX mode using -dx11 if you face rendering issues
• Keep GPU drivers updated and disable unnecessary overlays
