Random freezing

I keep on freezing randomly since the 2nd last update (8.09 i think). I don't understand why it happens and I know its valorant as I have played both heavier and lighter games than it and it has already happened about 8 times. By freezing I mean, it js stops entirely, even the background music pauses once it freezes meaning a full freeze and my PC still functions just the screen stops only.

Random freezing in VALORANT can be caused by several factors including game updates, background software interference, hardware compatibility, or software corruption. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue: 1. Restart the Riot Client and Game: Often, simple restarts can fix minor issues. 2. Update Graphics Drivers: Make sure your GPU drivers are up to date. Visit the website of your GPU's manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) for the latest drivers. 3. Disable Background Programs: Some software running in the background can interfere. Try closing unnecessary programs before launching VALORANT. 4. Reinstall Vanguard and VALORANT: Corrupt game files or Vanguard issues can cause freezing. Uninstall Riot Vanguard from 'Add or Remove Programs' and then restart your PC and the game. 5. Allow VALORANT through Firewall: Sometimes, network issues due to the firewall can cause problems. More details here. If freezing persists, consider submitting a ticket to Riot Games Support for more personalized assistance.
