Valorant Freezing on Loading Screen

Going on a few days now (ever since the latest Valorant update/patch) and I can’t seem to get Valorant to load at all. Whenever I open the game, it will sit on the main screen and then freeze. Sometimes it is accompanied by a critical error. Below are some of the things I’ve tried with no luck… - rollback of Nvidia GeForce Game Ready driver to before the update (tried the 6/4/2024 version rather than the latest 6/27/2024) - updating Nvidia drivers to latest version - Windows up-to-date - complete clean reinstall (all related folders, anticheat, etc) of Valorant - resetting/allowing Valorant exceptions in windows firewall defender. - running as administrator
