Random Restarts

Can someone help, because every time I load into a game, it will restart on agent select and since the game thinks that I left on purpose, I started to get queue dodge offenses. It's starting to get really annoying, please help. (No error messages either, it will just close and re open and I have no idea why, it only started after I reinstalled windows and started playing again. Also, I do have some of the Overwolf stuff installed like Outplayed and Valorant Tracker)

It sounds like the issue might be related to the third-party software you're using, specifically Overwolf apps like Outplayed and Valorant Tracker. These types of applications can sometimes interfere with VALORANT, especially after a fresh Windows installation. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue: 1. Disable or Uninstall Third-Party Apps: Temporarily disable or uninstall Overwolf and any other third-party applications that interact with VALORANT. 2. Update Drivers: Make sure all your hardware drivers, especially graphics drivers, are up to date. 3. Check for Background Programs: Ensure no unnecessary programs are running in the background that could interfere with the game. 4. Verify Game Files: Use the Riot Client to check for any corrupted files by navigating to settings and initiating a “Repair” of VALORANT. 5. Administrator Mode: Run both VALORANT and the Riot Client in administrator mode. 6. Firewall and Antivirus: Ensure that VALORANT and Vanguard are whitelisted in your firewall and antivirus program. If none of these steps work, consider submitting a ticket to Riot Games Support for more specific troubleshooting.
