pc irresponsive from valorant
In the past 7 days, i had to force shutdown my pc 3 times as my pc kept on becoming irresponsive from valorant. The first and second time happened at the home screen, one from discord overlay, and second from opening discord at the same time as valorant. The third time happened today, as i exited fullscreen (alt enter) during a game. Also, i have a decent laptop, and can run valorant at 200-300 fps without stuttering, so my laptop performance can't be the issue. Is this intended? What can i do to fix? thanks

It's not intended for Valorant to cause your PC to become unresponsive. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your graphics drivers are updated to the latest version.
2. Disable Overlays: Try disabling the Discord overlay and any other overlays (like NVIDIA ShadowPlay) to see if that resolves the issue.
3. Background Processes: Close unnecessary background applications that might conflict with Valorant....

Ive done everything the bot said except to reinstall valorant. Ill mention if i encounter this bug again
Ok 👍
alright, ive found out that my laptop is a bit glitchy with other fullscreen games, so it probably isnt valorant. ill mark this issue as resolved for now
