valorant freeze
After launching Valorant, it starts up and loads without issue. However, whenever I attempt to interact by right-clicking, the game freezes automatically, necessitating that I end the task via Task Manager. My laptop, an MSI Thin GF63 UCX, boasts specs well above the recommended requirements with an RTX 2050, 12th gen i5 processor, and 16 GB of RAM, along with ample storage. This issue is unique to Valorant; other games run smoothly without any problems. Despite reinstalling Valorant and ensuring my Windows and drivers are up to date, the problem persists.

Given the steps you've already taken, it appears this could be a specific compatibility or software interference issue. Here are a few additional suggestions you could try:
1. Run as Administrator: Right-click the VALORANT shortcut and select "Run as administrator."
2. Disable Overlays: Turn off any overlays (such as Discord, GeForce Experience, or MSI Afterburner) as these can sometimes cause conflicts.
3. Adjust Startup Settings: Go to the Task Manager, navigate to the "Startup" tab, and disable unnecessary startup processes that could be interfering.
4. Configure Graphics Settings: Set VALORANT to use the high-performance graphics card via the NVIDIA Control Panel.
5. Run Compatibility Troubleshooter: Right-click on the VALORANT shortcut, go to "Properties" -> "Compatibility" -> "Run compatibility troubleshooter."
6. Check Background Programs: Make sure no other programs are running that could interfere (e.g., antivirus software).
7. Vanguard Reinstallation: Try uninstalling and reinstalling Riot Vanguard separately from the game.
If the issue persists, consider reaching out to Riot Support for more detailed troubleshooting steps.
