For your slow loading and FPS issues in VALORANT, follow these steps to troubleshoot: 1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date. Check the NVIDIA or AMD website for the latest version. 2. Optimize Settings: In-game, reduce graphic settings to the lowest. Disable V-Sync and lower the resolution to see if performance improves. 3. Close Background Applications: Close unnecessary applications running in the background which might be consuming resources. 4. Check for Updates: Ensure both your Windows OS and VALORANT have the latest updates installed. 5. Disable Startup Programs: Disable non-essential startup programs to free up resources. You can do this via Task Manager -> Startup tab. 6. Virtual Memory Increase: Increase the size of your virtual memory (paging file). System Properties -> Advanced -> Performance Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual Memory. To reinstall VALORANT: 1. Uninstall VALORANT and Riot Vanguard: Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Uninstall a program. 2. Delete Remaining Files: Remove any leftover files in the installation folder. 3. Download and Install Again: Visit the VALORANT website and download the latest installer. If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Riot Support for further assistance: Riot Games support.
