If you're stuck on the loading screen after updating to patch 8.11, it's a common issue that can often be resolved with some basic troubleshooting steps: 1. Restart VALORANT and the Riot Client. 2. Run as Administrator: Right-click both the Riot Client and VALORANT shortcuts, select "Run as administrator." 3. End Background Tasks: Close unnecessary background programs that might interfere with the game, especially any overlay software like Discord, NVIDIA GeForce Experience, or OBS. 4. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure that your GPU drivers are up-to-date. 5. Check Firewall Settings: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through any firewall or security software you have. 6. Repair the Game: Open the Riot Client, go to settings, and run a repair on VALORANT. 7. Reinstall VALORANT and Vanguard: If all else fails, try uninstalling both VALORANT and Riot Vanguard, then reinstalling them. For persistent issues, continue to monitor your support ticket response. The Riot support team might provide additional steps specific to your configuration.

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.

You don't log in in the loading screen? Anyway so your only problem is that you don't load, correct?
