Long Loading screens

Getting straight to the point, every single type of loading screen takes AGES to load. Starting the game up takes forever, especially while loading into a match, once everyone picks their agent and get sent to the map, my game freezes. It will take so long to the point where multiple rounds go by, ive even been penalized for it.

Long loading times and game freezes can be really frustrating. Here are a few steps you can take to alleviate the issue: 1. Update Graphics Drivers: Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. 2. Check System Requirements: Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements for VALORANT. 3. Close Background Applications: Close unnecessary background applications that might be using up your system resources. 4. Set Valorant to High Priority: Open Task Manager, find VALORANT, right-click it, and set it to 'High Priority'. 5. In-Game Settings: Lower your in-game graphics settings to see if performance improves. 6. Reinstall VALORANT and Riot Vanguard: Sometimes a fresh reinstall can help resolve lingering issues. 7. Firewall and Antivirus Settings: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall and antivirus programs. For consistent issues, you might also want to run a disk cleanup and potentially defragment your hard drive if you're using an HDD. For further assistance, you can reach out to Riot Games support.
