That sounds incredibly frustrating. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue: 1. Restart the Riot Client: Close the Riot Client completely and restart it. 2. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. 3. Check Background Applications: Any background applications interfering with VALORANT can cause issues. Try closing unnecessary applications. 4. Run as Administrator: Run VALORANT and the Riot Client as an administrator. 5. Repair Game Files: Open the Riot Client, go to settings, and use the "Repair" option to fix any corrupted files. 6. Firewall Settings: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall. Details here. 7. Reinstall Riot Vanguard: Uninstall Riot Vanguard via Control Panel, then restart VALORANT to reinstall it automatically. If none of these work, please submit a ticket to Riot Games Support for further assistance: Riot Games Support.

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. Learn how to defragment: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/defragment-your-windows-10-pc-048aefac-7f1f-4632-d48a-9700c4ec702a
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.
