If you're experiencing crashes or are stuck on the loading screen, even after following the recommended steps and a game reinstall, here are a few additional steps that may help:
1. Graphics Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up to date. Visit the official website for NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel, depending on your GPU.
2. Run as Administrator: Right-click the VALORANT shortcut and select 'Run as administrator'.
3. Disable Overlays: Turn off any overlays (Discord, NVIDIA GeForce Experience, etc.) that might be running.
4. Check for Updates: Make sure Windows and all drivers are fully updated.
5. Clean Boot: Perform a clean boot to ensure no background applications are causing conflicts. Instructions here.
6. Firewall/Antivirus: Ensure your firewall/antivirus is not blocking VALORANT or Riot Vanguard. Add them to the exceptions list.
7. Event Viewer: Check Windows Event Viewer for specific error logs when the game crashes to find potential causes.
If none of these work, consider submitting a ticket to Riot Games Support for a more in-depth investigation.
