@Ink | Soul Artist
Windows + r
%temp%
These are cache files
@cursed_tragic is your cpu overheating frequently?
valorant is a CPU intensive game
nope
done
Is it an older cpu?
maybe used?
some i cant delete because the file is being used
nope laptop
Hm
Is this a normal laptop
or a gaming laptop
Close all ur apps first
it has always ran valorant smoothly when i started playing
Ok roland got it
Back to sleep
normal
Goodnight ^.^
Gn :3
Normal laptops are not built for gaming
So itβs likely that over time the more you played
The more strain it put on your CPU
causing it to develop wear and tear
it was a sudden drop
how long have you been playing
But he was 60 fps fine last time means this is a graphical issue rn, prob his memory ram on his GPU being clogged or his CPU is overusing from apps he download etc
since like may of last year idk
so almost a year
yeah
Iβm not exactly sure what it could be
but I know laptops are quite sensitive
Usually require PC debugging for the issue, but ion think the issue is that serious
Valorant can be ran on a majority of PCS
but itβs still a laptop
Which he ran smoothly b4
That isnβt specifically tailored for gaming
Welp imma just take this one
its been running so smooth until a few days
Share ur specs
hmmm
Try deleting temp file firat
All of em
Including the one in ur recycling bin
That will not get them 20 fps back
Then re run it
Usually would
Especially if ur temp file is like 4gb big

i dont wanna end that task and create another issue
Then skip it
How big is ur temp file
Ok

just wanted to send this so you could see the choppiness ok goodnight
thanks for help
can anyone help??
@Ink | Soul Artist any suggestions?
should i reinstall?
in the ss of your task manager it looked like you had a lot of background processes, and for a laptop like yours 280 can be a heck of a lot.. so i'd suggest closing many of them from the background
and your ram usage was at 60% without val so check the usage while in a valorant game, deathmatch f.e
nah
i fixed it
just needed a clean reset
and my sanity...
what you mean by clean reset
maybe windows
factory reset
