Valorant "launches" but has a weird time
basically everytime i click on play in the riot client, the game launches and uses like up to 500-600MB of memory but then stops for some reason and goes to like 20MB of memory I tried to wait for like 10 minutes but its still at 20MB of memory. As well as CPU and disk usage occasionally spikes. Might be interesting to note that when I used to play valorant like a year ago at this point it had very few to 0 issues. I also have reinstalled both riot client and valorant once just to make sure it wasnt the install
