Frequent crashes and freezes when alt-tabbing in VALORANT can sometimes be caused by issues with your system's drivers or the game itself. Here's a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot the problem: 1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up-to-date. You can get the latest drivers from NVIDIA or AMD's official site. 2. Check for Windows Updates: Ensure your OS is fully updated. 3. Reduce In-Game Settings: Lower graphic settings to see if it reduces the crashing. 4. Run as Administrator: Right-click on the VALORANT icon and choose "Run as administrator." 5. Close Background Applications: Apps like Discord, OBS, or browser tabs can sometimes cause conflicts. Close unnecessary programs. 6. Repair Game Files: Open the Riot Client, go to settings, and click 'Repair' on VALORANT. 7. Reinstall VALORANT and Vanguard: As a last resort, try reinstalling both the game and Riot Vanguard. If these steps don't resolve the issue, I recommend contacting Riot Support for further assistance.
