It sounds like your PC might have an issue with system resources or conflicts when launching VALORANT. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot:
1. Update Drivers: Ensure your graphics card drivers and Windows updates are up to date.
2. Check System Requirements: Make sure your PC meets the minimum requirements for VALORANT.
3. Task Manager: Open Task Manager before launching VALORANT to monitor CPU and memory usage. See if any other application is using excessive resources.
4. Close Background Applications: Close any unnecessary applications running in the background to free up system resources.
5. Run as Administrator: Try running VALORANT as an administrator.
6. Vanguard: Make sure Riot Vanguard is properly installed and running. Consider reinstalling it if there are issues.
7. Disk Check: Ensure your disk isn’t full or has errors by running a disk check.
8. Reinstall VALORANT: If none of the above work, try reinstalling both Riot Vanguard and VALORANT.
i dont have installed newest drivers
so i will check
requierements is not the problem i think because i have i7 with 3060
i have polish task manager but heres my cpu and memory usage normally
u replied to an ai
reinstall ur vanguard
since u got no prob with specs
By freezing does it fix itself when the game is fully launched?
like its just freezes the screen but only mouse works
then about 30 seconds every sound stops working
i hear valorant lobby sound
I see
Ome sec
it now happened again like 2 minutes ago
needed to hold power button to turn off my pc
i checked reddit and other like things
some guys having the same problem
with vanguard i dont see any problem
having the game since last summer
When this happens again what I want you to do
it started like about 4-5 days ago
Is try pressing the caps lock key
Certain keyboards have a light indicate that the caps lock is on
my have
If you press it and that light does not turn on it means your PC has crashed
ok
If that happens, Let me know
i will tell
what timezone do you have because idk if you will be online
i have cest timezone
est
its 2:29 PM rn
8:30 pm
now i launched and it works
this is happening to me as well
the exact same thing
freezes only once
gotta shut my entire laptop down
like it seems to be 1-2 times in a day
then when i open it again its fine
mine too
but sometimes when im trying to open it, itll just turn black
yeah
idk if its my computer or valorant
like all screen
yes
even mouse
yeah
yeah
too
and when it freezes i can move my mouse but not press anything
mine too
for me when screen turns black
its not a monitor problem
yeah it’s just valorant
it’s so weird
because when i press a menu button on my montor its working
fr
i have issues with nothing else
yeah
like
when i dont launch valorangt\
no issues
only lauching valorant
yeah i made a post the other day and nobody helped me so i just have been dealing with it on my own
even checked reddit posts and they have like a similar problem
you’re the first person i’ve seen have the same issue
i try to just make this like it a normal thing
just to not focus abt this
yeah i think its something wrong with the game they need to fix
If you wouldn't mind following the instructions I sent a little bit earlier
it just opened fine but when i tried ealier it froze
but it so frustrating so i need help
There are a lot of posts created so some of them do get missed
well we cant if its not freezing
cuz its fine now
i will do this abt tommorow
it only does it when i first get on each day
like 10-12 am cest
or like when really long turned off pc
yeah if i close the game and get back on its fine
i have since last crash turned off pc for like 4-5 hours
but i noticed i turned my computer off for maybe an hour or two and it was fine
didnt freeze when reopened
mine too when its 1-2 hours
i will say when my pc crash again
and btw i dont have drivers up to date
idk where
update
i will now playtest on swift to check if everythings ok
if you have an nvidia card update with geforce experience, and for other stuff to do device manager and computer, right click the first dropdown and update driver
then go to proccessers and update driver
dont have geforce experience
open task manager and see what video card you have
it will say GPU 1 or GPU 0
0
i have polish
so idk
playtested 2 games and everything work normally
so u hv tried reinstalling it?
oh one more
since u said this started like4-5 days ago
nvidia new geforce experience latest update might be the issue
revert it
someone reported it to nvidia and they said theres a problem with it
Dodatkowo have updated drivers so idk
Sorry autocorrect
Didnt
No but I have it installed without any problems for about 11 months
.
nvidia geforce experience not your nvidia drivers
I dont have geforce expierience
okayy
Download GeForce Experience | NVIDIA

but geforce experience made problems with other games
what is it
is it the brightness u were talking abt or sumn else
fortnite got pixelized (fixed), after fullscreening minecraft lower brightness like idk

you can set it up by yourself from there
