@ariinsu It worked Thanks for saving me

Arii•2y ago

np (:

SekiOP•2y ago

Btw may I know what's happening Why do I need to do that?

Arii•2y ago

typically its to do with either the gpu driver or what gpu valorant auto selects on boot those two are the typical issues

SekiOP•2y ago

I updated yesterday Nvidia driver And I roll back because of this issue But it stiill happen

Arii•2y ago

maybe check the nvidia control panel and make sure its using your main gpu and not the integrated one if it exists

SekiOP•2y ago

How to check?

Arii•2y ago

go to device manager and look under 'Display adapters' it'll show all the graphics cards you have

SekiOP•2y ago

Ok , got it .

Arii•2y ago

do you have 1 or 2 gpus?

SekiOP•2y ago

I have 1 only Not integrated

Arii•2y ago

then that can't be the problem sadly

SekiOP•2y ago

Is there any other issue?

Arii•2y ago

there is no chance you installed a faulty driver or one that isn't supported by your graphics card? also what cpu are you using?

SekiOP•2y ago

I installed new driver yesterday , but I roll back , so I don't think it would be driver faulty because the problem is still there after rolling back Ryzen 5 5500 But this happen after I update my driver So Idk How Confused

Arii•2y ago

there were some weird interactions with 10th and 11th gen intel processors and the SSL libraries a few years back just a long shot thats why I was asking lol try doing win + ctrl + shift + b when its starting and see if it stays fullscreen and works

SekiOP•2y ago

This reset the gpu right?

Arii•2y ago

it restarts the gpu driver

SekiOP•2y ago

I did that when I'm troubleshooting . It doesn't help

Arii•2y ago

I mean there are some pseudo-fixes that I found and doubt will work and those are: 1. run as admin (if you haven't tried this I'll be shocked) 2. create the SSL variable that worked for intel and see if it works 3. test disable fullscreen optimization 4. disable anti virus as a test 5. increase priority of RiotClientServices.exe to above normal/high honestly though if it doesn't work and getting a clean driver set up and removing the old ones with DDU doesn't work you might be stuck on windowed fullscreen until someone figures it out here's how to create the SSL variable if you want to try it:

Open “File Explorer” (Win+E), right-click on “This PC”, and select “Properties”
Select “Advanced System Settings”
Select “Environment Variables” in the “Advanced” tab
Select “New…” under “System variables”
Input the text below and select “OK”

Variable name: OPENSSL_ia32cap
Variable value: ~0x200000200000000

Open “File Explorer” (Win+E), right-click on “This PC”, and select “Properties”
Select “Advanced System Settings”
Select “Environment Variables” in the “Advanced” tab
Select “New…” under “System variables”
Input the text below and select “OK”

Variable name: OPENSSL_ia32cap
Variable value: ~0x200000200000000

Okay , I'll try if the problem is still remain . Umm There's one problem Which my Valorant can't change to full screen Now is windowed When I change the screen freeze My mouse pointer starts flickering

Arii•2y ago

ye its like when you started the game before you can't go into fullscreen exclusive at all sadly

JazXD•2y ago

hey there, I am facing the same issue, and I think my display is running in integrated and not the Nvidia GPU, can I get help with this?

Arii•2y ago

Sure, go to the NVIDIA Control Panel and then select 'Manage 3D Settings' and select the 'Program Settings' tab. From there select Valorant as the program to customize and select 'High-performance NVIDIA processor'

JazXD•2y ago

may I know where high performance NVIDIA processor option is?

JazXD•2y ago

there is no option called High performance NVIDIA processor in my Control Panel

Arii•2y ago

you would get this second option if you are able to choose

JazXD•2y ago

I don't have that option. IDK why

JazXD•2y ago

Also check this pls. It does show these are running in Nvidia

Arii•2y ago

then it looks like those are running on the correct gpu

JazXD•2y ago

hmm

Arii•2y ago

the other way to force valorant to run on the gpu is in the display settings on windows it would be Windows settings --> System --> Graphic Settings --> Add Valorant exe as a desktop app and choose the NVIDIA gpu in the options

JazXD•2y ago

hmm it doesn't show Valorant.exe but I think its riot client.exe

Arii•2y ago

C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live\VALORANT.exe whatever is equivalent to your disk that exe

JazXD•2y ago

hmm Okay, I will restart my system and try opening it now yes , I tried, it didn't work that way either. Its still the same. I even added the SSL variable

Arii•2y ago

hmm I can try looking for some other weird solutions I already listed all the logical ones earlier :/ you can try windows compatibility mode but since riot deprecated those operating systems I kinda assumed you wouldn't be able to boot the game if you turn it on I found a very pseudo solution that worked for a couple of people and that was to close out of all razer applications

JazXD•2y ago
