This issue might be related to several factors, including system resources, background applications, or driver conflicts. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot and prevent it from happening again: 1. Update Your Graphics Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date from Nvidia, AMD, or Intel. 2. Adjust In-Game Settings: - Lower the game’s graphics settings. - Set the game to run in Windowed or Borderless Window mode, as this can reduce issues when alt-tabbing. 3. Close Background Apps: Ensure no unnecessary applications are running in the background that might interfere with VALORANT. 4. Check Resource Usage: Use Task Manager to monitor CPU, GPU, and RAM usage. If they're maxed out, consider upgrading your hardware. 5. Windows Updates: Make sure your Windows OS is fully updated. If the issue persists, check the VALORANT support articles for additional troubleshooting tips: https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/hc/en-us.
