Valorant Freezes Entire PC While Audio & Mouse Work
The game freezes when I open another application, such as Chrome or Discord, or when I am in the lobby after finishing a match. The computer does not respond to any command, and I have to restart it from the central box, and this harms my computer. I can't even do alt+f4 /ctrl+alt+. It literally does not respond to anything and remains in this state for a long time and nothing changes, and I only suffer from this problem when I play Valorant. I open the game and play one match like deathmatch and then it crashes right when I'm in the lobby
