Please help My game freezes every game after agent select for 1-3 rounds
I am having an issue where I load into games late. I know it is not my internet as I ahve around 40 ms ping. I will often try loading custom games first, and I connect to them fine in time (agent select still freezes; I just don't get in late). But once I enter a real match, it doesn't load until around the second or third round, as it freezes after everyone selects their agent. When someone else dodges, I am not able to get back into the menu in time, causing it to requeue while im in the loading screen, causing me to dodge that game as I dont load in time. I have tried everything I can to fix this. I've changed various windows settings such as disabling SYSMAIN, disabling fullscreen optimizations for valorant, and I have deleted the manifest txt files, reinstalled valorant, reinstalled vanguard, reinstalled riot client, cleared all files related to riot and valorant and resinstalling and I still get this issue. I am playing the game on all low settings with reflex set to on. I also play with vsync as I have a 240hz monitor. My PC has a 3060 ti, I9 10850k, 16 gb of DDR4 2667 mhz ram. I have tried installing the game on both SSD and Hard Drive. I have no Idea what else I could possibly try to fix this issue. I love Valorant but I can't play it because I get banned too often because I can't load in. The game plays perfectly on the ps5 beta so I know its not somehow account based. Please help me.

If your game consistently freezes after agent select for 1-3 rounds, try the following steps:
1. Update Drivers: Ensure your graphics and network drivers are up to date.
2. Lower Game Settings: Reduce in-game graphical settings to lessen the load on your system.
3. Check Background Applications: Close unnecessary background programs that could be causing conflicts or using up resources.
4. Firewall and Antivirus: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall and antivirus software.
5. Reinstall Vanguard: Sometimes, issues with Riot Vanguard can cause freezing. Uninstall and then reinstall Riot Vanguard.
6. Connection Issues: Use a wired connection if possible, and reset your router/modem.
7. Run as Administrator: Run VALORANT and the Riot Client as an administrator.
8. Verify Game Files: Through the Riot Client, verify the integrity of game files to replace any corrupted files.
If the issue persists, consider submitting a ticket to Riot Games support here: Riot Support.
