freeze valorant
hi, so I am using a computer. when I want to open valorant sometimes my screen freezes and can't do anything, can only manually reset my pc then open valorant again while when I play other games it doesn't happen like that, and sometimes I'm in the game I do alt+tab to switch to another tab, my screen immediately freezes can't press any buttons, I have updated my graphic card and windows, but it still happens like that. any suggestions?

It sounds frustrating to deal with these crashes. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
1. Update Drivers & Windows: Ensure your GPU drivers and Windows OS are up-to-date.
2. Disable Full-Screen Optimization: Right-click your VALORANT shortcut, go to Properties > Compatibility, and check "Disable fullscreen optimizations."
3. Adjust In-Game Settings: Lower graphic settings or try enabling/disabling V-Sync in VALORANT.
4. Run VALORANT as Admin: Right-click the VALORANT shortcut and select ‘Run as Administrator.’
5. Background Applications: Close unnecessary background programs through Task Manager.
6. In-Game Overlay: Disable overlays from programs like Discord, GeForce Experience, etc.
7. Clean Boot: Perform a clean boot of Windows to rule out software conflicts: Guide.
8. Reinstall VALORANT & Riot Vanguard: Uninstall both, restart your PC, and reinstall them.
If the issue persists, it might be beneficial to submit a ticket to Riot Support for more in-depth assistance.
