Experiencing such high latency can be extremely frustrating. Here's a list of potential fixes you can try: 1. Close Background Applications: Some applications can consume CPU resources. Ensure unnecessary programs are closed to free up CPU usage.
2. Update Drivers: Ensure that your GPU and other essential drivers are up to date. Check for updates through the NVIDIA and Intel websites. 3. Power Settings: Set your laptop to High Performance mode in Power Options. 4. Set Valorant Priority: Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc), go to the "Details" tab, right-click VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe, and set priority to High. 5. Graphics Settings: Lower the in-game graphics settings to reduce CPU load. 6. Check for Background Processes: Disable any unnecessary startup programs and services that may be running in the background. 7. Thermal Management: Ensure your laptop is not overheating. Use cooling pads or clean the fans if necessary. 8. Network Connection: Make sure your internet connection is stable. Ethernet is preferred over Wi-Fi for gaming. 9. Reinstall Vanguard: Sometimes, Vanguard might cause such issues. Uninstall and reinstall Vanguard. 10. Game Files: Repair game files through the Riot Client to ensure no files are corrupted. If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider submitting a ticket through the Riot Games support site for further assistance.
