Joining matches lately.
Since the latest update when I queue a match, in the agent selection screen it stays stuck even after all agents are selected for like 2-5 minutes. When it goes away the loading screen comes and goes within 10-15 secs. After joining match I see that I am already 2 rounds late. I get banned every time from unrated for 5-8 minutes and from Comp for 24 or 48 hours. My Exp and rewards are also removed. I am tired of this. By the way, my PC is good enough to run the whole match in 100+ FPS. So my PC isn't the issue. Help please!

It sounds like you're experiencing significant delays during the Agent selection and loading screens, causing you to miss rounds and face penalties. Here are a few things to try:
1. Check Your Network: High latency can cause these delays. Ensure you're connected to a stable internet connection. Ideally, use a wired connection rather than Wi-Fi for lower ping and more stability.
2. Restart Your Router: Sometimes, a simple router restart can fix connectivity issues.
3. Windows Network Reset: Run Command Prompt as an Administrator and execute the following commands:
-
netsh int ip reset
- ipconfig /release
- ipconfig /renew
- ipconfig /flushdns
- netsh winsock reset
4. Allow VALORANT Through Firewall: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall. You can find more details here: Firewall Instructions.
5. VPNs or Background Apps: Disable any VPNs you might be using and close unnecessary background applications that could be consuming bandwidth.

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.
