Loading Screen stuck after agent selection

Once all team members lock in their agents, the screen freezes however the music still works & now my screen remains stuck on the character selection screen and it’s not a network issue because I’ve moved my setup to literally beside my router & still no difference. I always end up joining the game after round 1 or after round 2 & can sometimes jot join at all & get a penalty AFK restriction

This might be caused by a few different issues, but here are some steps you can try to resolve it: 1. Update Drivers: Ensure your graphics card drivers and other relevant hardware drivers are up-to-date. 2. Repair Game Files: Open the Riot Client, go to the settings, and initiate a scan to repair game files. 3. Run as Admin: Right-click on your VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as administrator." 4. Adjust In-Game Settings: Lower your graphics settings and disable fullscreen optimizations. Also, set compatibility to Windows 8. 5. Close Background Applications: Make sure there are no resource-heavy applications running in the background. 6. Check Network: Use a wired connection if possible and ensure no other devices are heavily using the network. 7. Reinstall Vanguard: Uninstall and reinstall Riot Vanguard. If the issue persists, consider reinstalling VALORANT entirely. If the problem continues, please visit the Riot Games support site for more in-depth troubleshooting or to submit a ticket for personalized assistance.
