If your game is freezing after agent select, try these steps:
1. Update Drivers: Ensure your GPU and other drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can often cause issues.
2. Verify Game Files: Corrupted game files can lead to freezes. Use the Riot Client to repair your game.
3. Lower Graphics Settings: Reduce in-game graphics settings to see if the freeze persists.
4. Disable Overlays: Disable any overlays (e.g., Discord, NVIDIA GeForce Experience) as they can sometimes cause conflicts.
5. Close Background Applications: Ensure that unnecessary background applications are closed to free up system resources.
6. Reinstall VALORANT and Riot Vanguard: Uninstall and reinstalling can resolve persistent issues.
7. Check for System Overheating: Ensure your system isn't overheating, as overheated hardware can cause freezes.
8. Firewall/Antivirus: Make sure your firewall or antivirus isn’t blocking VALORANT.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, check the Riot Games support page or submit a ticket for further assistance: Riot Games Support.

no fcking wonder im getting so many pennaltys
been on this screen for thelast 10 minutes or so
I have been facing the same situation as you for months already. What i usually do to make it work better:
1. After loading in the game i usually play 1-2 rounds Deathmatch, and even if the screen is gonna freeze in there you won't get any penalties. As soon as it is frozen i just restart the game and everything works as usual.
2. You could try to start valorant several times, usually it is getting faster at some point.
3. Sometimes I'm facing the issue of being stuck in a screen for a while right after a new update. Normally it is getting better after 1-2 days
And also make sure nothing is running in the background while starting valorant
