Vanguard patching issue

Its been 8 days, and my valorant is still bugged. I am unable to load Main menu though I am only able to hear the background music. My Nvidia drivers are up to date, and I am using Win 10. Also, If I open valorant and switch my tab immediately. I could see the animations of main menu, but as soon as I switch back to valorant, it completely freezes with my cursor showing 'background loading icon' with frequent cursor flickering

As I mentioned, I kept my Discord open so as to show that all the overlay and animation work until I switch back to valorant

i have a similar issue. i found out, that i cant play in fullscreen mode anymore, so i tried spamming f11 in valorant to switch to windowed/windowed fullscreen mode and then i can play valorant again, but only in windowed or windowed fullscreen mode. This worked for me but i can't guarantee you if it works for you.
