not working on v1 anymore in favor of v2, but if there's any big bugs i'll try to fix them
valorant-rich-presence-client
Discord rich presence extension for VALORANT
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
- 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"
- 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
- 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
-
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
-
Right click on the shortcut/icon, then select Properties
- In the Target box, paste the path to valorant-rpc.exe from part 1, step 3, then select Apply
- Launch VALORANT! The console will appear and launch the game, then minimize to the system tray.
Updating
- Navigate to the folder created in part 1, step 3 of installation
- 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
