Can't Load Into Any Type of Match
If I go into the range, it won't load in, and I'll eventually be forced back to the lobby. Whenever I play competitive matches, I can't load into the actual match after the agent selection screen -- it just stays on the map loading screen, and I can hear my teammates, so it's probably not a network issue.
What I've Done: I've reinstalled the game/vanguard, done the command prompt commands that the bot in this server tells you to do, I've deleted the two debug files that most resources online say to delete, and I still have this issue. Sometimes I don't have this issue, but it quickly returns after a few matches.

It sounds like you've already tried several common troubleshooting steps without success. Here are a few additional things you could try:
1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. You can do this through the GeForce Experience for NVIDIA cards or Radeon Software for AMD cards.
2. Check System Resource Usage: Make sure no other intensive programs are running in the background. Sometimes non-essential software can interfere with VALORANT's performance.
3. Network Settings: Even though it might not be a network issue, try connecting using a wired connection if you’re on Wi-Fi. Additionally, make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall and antivirus.
4. System Health Check: Verify your system files by running "sfc /scannow" in Command Prompt. This checks for corrupted files that might affect game performance.
5. Vanguard Check: Sometimes Vanguard might be blocked or restricted. Check Windows Event Viewer for any Vanguard errors and see if you need to whitelist it on any security software installed.
