Long load times in VALORANT can be caused by several issues. Here are some steps you can try to resolve it: 1. Update GPU Drivers: Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date. NVIDIA GeForce Experience can help with this. 2. Check Background Processes: Close unnecessary background applications. Sometimes other programs can conflict with VALORANT. 3. Verify Game Files: Go to the Riot Client, click on the gear icon next to "Play" and select "Repair." 4. Disable Fullscreen Optimization: Right-click on the VALORANT shortcut, go to Properties > Compatibility, and check "Disable fullscreen optimizations." 5. Adjust In-Game Settings: Lower graphics settings in VALORANT. Sometimes, the game's higher settings can cause longer load times. 6. Reinstall Vanguard: Uninstall Riot Vanguard via the 'Programs and Features' in Control Panel, then start VALORANT again to reinstall it. 7. Check Security Software: Your antivirus or firewall could be slowing down the launch. Temporarily disable them to check (remember to re-enable them after testing). If none of these solutions work, you might want to contact Riot Support directly for further assistance.
