It sounds like you are experiencing performance issues that could be related to a few different factors. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the freezing issue:
1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure your GPU drivers are up-to-date. You can do this from the official website of your GPU manufacturer (NVIDIA, AMD, etc.).
2. Close Background Applications: Close any unnecessary applications running in the background that could be consuming resources.
3. Adjust In-Game Settings: Lower your graphics settings in VALORANT. Sometimes, reducing settings can improve stability.
4. Check for Overheating: Ensure your system isn't overheating. Clean any dust from your computer components and make sure fans are working properly.
5. Increase Virtual Memory: Increase your paging file size:
- Right-click on 'This PC' > 'Properties' > 'Advanced System Settings' > 'Settings' under 'Performance'.
- Go to the 'Advanced' tab > 'Change' under 'Virtual Memory'.
- Uncheck 'Automatically manage paging file size for all drives' and set a custom size (e.g., Initial size: 4096 MB, Maximum size: 8192 MB).
6. Run Game as Administrator: Right-click on the VALORANT shortcut and select 'Run as administrator'.
7. Check Network Connection: Ensure your internet connection is stable and not experiencing high latency.
