If your PC crashes or freezes specifically when tabbing out of VALORANT, there could be a few potential causes and steps to resolve it:
1. Update Drivers: Ensure your GPU and other essential drivers are up to date.
2. Check for Overlays/Background Apps: Overlays from programs like Discord, NVIDIA GeForce Experience, or other background applications can sometimes cause conflicts. Try disabling them.
3. Game Files Integrity: Verify and repair VALORANT game files via the Riot Client.
4. Graphics Settings: Lower VALORANT’s graphics settings and see if the issue persists.
5. Reinstall VALORANT and Vanguard: Sometimes a clean reinstall can resolve unexpected issues. Uninstall both VALORANT and Vanguard, then reinstall.
6. Check for Windows Updates: Ensure your Windows is fully updated.
7. Run as Administrator: Run VALORANT and the Riot Client as an administrator.
8. Disable Fullscreen Optimization: Go to the VALORANT .exe file properties and disable fullscreen optimization.
If none of these steps help, consider reaching out to Riot Support for more tailored assistance.
