If you're getting stuck on the match loading screen but can still hear audio, it could be related to client or connection issues. Here are some steps to troubleshoot this problem:
1. Restart VALORANT and the Riot Client: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve loading issues.
2. Update Your Graphics Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up-to-date, as outdated drivers can cause loading problems.
3. Check Your Network Connection: Ensure your internet connection is stable. You can try resetting your router and using a wired connection if possible.
4. Run VALORANT as an Administrator: Right-click on the VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as administrator."
5. Firewall/Antivirus Settings: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall and any antivirus software isn’t blocking the game. More details here. (https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048522893-Your-Firewall-VS-VALORANT)
6. Repair VALORANT: In the Riot Client, go to settings and select the option to repair the game.
If these steps don’t fix the problem, it's best to wait for Riot Support to respond with a more specific solution.

Your Firewall VS. VALORANT
If you've encountered Error Code 29, chances are something has gone awry in the interplay between VALORANT and Windows Firewall. This can be further complicated if you're running antivirus software...
This is an issue with files loading off of your disk. You might have a HDD. If you do, you should defragment it or get an SSD and place Valorant on it.
Use
windows key + r than type "dfrgui" to check what type of drive you have.

Solid State Drives (SSD) and Hard Disk Drives (HDD) are data storage devices. SSDs are usually much smaller, thinner, and offer more storage volume, speed, and efficiency compared to HDDs.
ive went through dozens of these and nothing has worked for me
