The issue where VALORANT hangs or freezes during the agent selection process can be frustrating. This problem could be due to several reasons including background applications, outdated graphics drivers, or corrupted game files. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:
1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date. Visit your GPU manufacturer’s website and download the latest drivers.
2. Close Background Applications: Close unnecessary programs running in the background that might be conflicting with VALORANT.
3. Disable Overlays: Turn off any overlays (e.g., Discord, NVIDIA GeForce Experience) as they can sometimes cause issues.
4. Reinstall VALORANT and Vanguard: Uninstall VALORANT and Riot Vanguard. Then, reinstall them to ensure all files are intact and not corrupted.
5. Check Game Integrity: Use the Riot Client to scan and repair the game files.
6. Run as Administrator: Ensure that you are running both the Riot Client and VALORANT as an administrator.
If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Riot Games Support for further assistance.
