It sounds like you're facing issues with fullscreen mode in VALORANT. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue: 1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Visit the website of your GPU manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, or Intel) for the latest drivers. 2. Adjust In-Game Settings: Try switching to fullscreen mode through the in-game settings and then adjusting the resolution. 3. Disable Fullscreen Optimizations: - Right-click on VALORANT’s shortcut or executable. - Go to Properties > Compatibility tab. - Check "Disable fullscreen optimizations." - Click Apply and OK. 4. Reset Game Settings: - Locate the game settings file (typically found in C:\Users\[Your Username]\AppData\Local\VALORANT\Saved\Config). - Delete the config file, and then restart the game. This will force the game to reset to default settings. 5. Run as Administrator: Right-click on the VALORANT icon and select "Run as administrator." If these steps do not work, reinstall Valorant as a last resort. Also, consider submitting a ticket to Riot Games Support for further assistance.
