Again, each update is worse

Each update ruins my pc, it takes a lot to join, I can't see agent animations in lobby, and on top of that I keep getting afk warnings for this unfair reason. What the hell is happening?

I'm sorry to hear about the issues you're experiencing after updates. Here are a few steps you can try: 1. Reinstall Riot Client & Vanguard: Sometimes, a fresh install can fix issues introduced by updates. Uninstall both, then reinstall VALORANT. 2. Update Drivers: Ensure all your drivers, particularly graphics and network drivers, are up to date. 3. Check System Requirements: Confirm your PC meets the system requirements for VALORANT. 4. Reset Network Settings: Run the following commands in admin cmd: netsh int ip reset, ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, ipconfig /flushdns, netsh winsock reset. 5. Firewall Settings: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall. More details can be found here. For the AFK warnings, if the game isn't loading properly causing you to be marked AFK, documenting these occurrences and reporting them through a support ticket might help resolve the issue. If none of these steps help, please consider reaching out to Riot Games Support for more personalized assistance.
