problem with the loanding screen in the game
I have a problem with the game. When I start a match, I choose my agent and everything, but when it's time for the game to put me on the screen where everyone waits with the team usernames on the left and the enemies on the right, it doesn't show that screen. It just stays stuck on the agent selection screen until it puts me into the game 2 minutes later, and the game has already started. I can lose an entire round because of this, which makes me get banned for AFK every time. It's not at all because of my PC, because I had a lower spec setup before and it used to put me on the waiting screen and its not because of my internet connection .

It sounds like you might be encountering a network or software issue preventing the game from properly transitioning to the waiting screen. Here are a few steps you can try:
1. Network Check: Ensure your internet connection is stable. Try switching to a wired connection if you are currently using Wi-Fi. Also, restart your router.
2. Firewall Settings: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall. You can follow the detailed guide here: Firewall Settings.
3. Riot Client: Restart the Riot Client or reinstall it to ensure there are no issues with the client itself.
4. Background Programs: Close any unnecessary background programs that might be consuming network resources or interfering with the game.
5. Graphics Drivers: Update your graphics drivers to the latest version as outdated drivers can cause various issues.
6. Run as Administrator: Run VALORANT as an administrator to ensure it has all necessary permissions.
If the issue persists, you may want to contact Riot Support for more detailed troubleshooting.
