Valorant freezing on mouse movement and locked on 30 fps
So this happens randomly at times when I open up valorant and I've had this issue for some months now and haven't been able to figure it out. Sometimes when I open valorant it just lags extremely and when I look at the fps from a third-party software, it says that valorant is locked at 10 fps. Additionally when I move the mouse in the game it lags even more. This only happens in the menu and the whole process is just extremely slow. It's also locked at 30fps which is weird since I don't have any in-game settings that locks it at that amount. I have set the max background fps in nvidia control settings to 30 fps but that wouldn't explain why valorant worked like normal sometimes.
here are some of my specs:
Win 10 pro rtx 3060 (latest drivers) intel i7 10700kany help would be greatly appreciated

It sounds like a combination of software, settings, and potentially hardware issues causing VALORANT to freeze and lag. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this:
1. Disable V-Sync: Make sure V-Sync is disabled in both VALORANT settings and NVIDIA Control Panel.
2. Update Drivers: Ensure your graphics drivers and any other relevant hardware drivers are updated.
3. Adjust NVIDIA Settings:
- Open NVIDIA Control Panel.
- Go to “Manage 3D Settings.”
- Set “Power Management Mode” to “Prefer Maximum Performance.”
- Set “Max Frame Rate” to “Off” unless you specifically need it.
4. Check Background Processes: Ensure there are no heavy-background processes running. Disable any unnecessary startup programs.
5. Clean Boot: Perform a clean boot of Windows to rule out software conflicts.
6. Reset NVIDIA Settings: Reset your NVIDIA Control Panel settings to default if custom settings are causing issues.
7. Check for Overlays: Disable any in-game overlays like Discord, NVIDIA GeForce Experience, or Windows Game Bar.
8. Reinstall VALORANT: If the issue persists, try reinstalling VALORANT and Riot Vanguard.
9. Monitor Temperatures: Make sure your CPU and GPU temperatures are within normal ranges.
If none of these solutions work, consider contacting Riot Support for further assistance.
