also tried following a yt video claiming to fix the issue, to no avail (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKnkXFiWIeE)
also if i wait enough, i hear the windows error sound
even though the game doesnt run, its still using a ton of resources on my pc
Same problem with me
How long have you waited before?
the video is 2x
How long is that?
And I’m not asking about the video
Depending on your system, it could take up to a couple minutes
For the valorant application to pop up
i have a high end pc, it always runs val pretty quick, im having the exact same issue as everyone else
This is not the same issue
And I’m still asking how long you have waited please answer
okay i just ran it, how long should i wait before you think its an issue
10 minutes
thats fine ill come back in 10
i keep getting this windows error sound after a minute or so after running val
never happened before this issue started
in the 10 minutes that passed, valorant kept shuffling from 0%-5%-10% CPU usage, till at around 9 minutes, when it vanished from the task manager
Check riot client
Is the play button lit up?
yea, it was grayed out when i tried to start valorant
