Valorant is freezing my whole pc

Has anyone ever encountered an issue where their whole pc just freezes when trying to launch valorant? I had this issue for quite some time now, tried many fixes that I've found on the internet, but could never manage to at least get into a game, it usually gets stuck either on the loading screen or in main menu, I'd be grateful if anyone had some kind of solution to this issue.

i'm on windows 10 and which settings are we talking about valo or windows? the thing is that, last year i used to play valorant with no issues, up until it started to crash during some games, i've quit after that started to happen, recently i came back to it, everything updated, all files checked and are not corrupted, even when i get into the main menu now, i can't even click on anything without it crashing, so i can't even change my settings or anything @svobsl

Max
Max2y ago
did you do the fix in that video i sent? changing graphics preformance settings and ect;
werski
werskiOP2y ago
tried that some time ago already, but i can try again soon and let you know if it did anything
Max
Max2y ago
ok @mrblue6295 hows it going? "For me upon first installing the game, there is a screen with a button saying “I understand” and my cursor will not recognize this as an interactive element, therefore is not able to click it. I believe this may have to do with the fact that the game starts up stretched out to widescreen, not on a widescreen monitor btw. I know how to fix the dimensions issue in the game settings, but that’s not much use if I can’t get there at all"

when i was talking to riot support they told me to unplug my 2nd monitor and uninstall the driver for it? maybe that might be an issue i have it plugged in to my cpu instead of gpu
