Valorant Loading Issues
All I do is have Discord and Valorant open but for some reason it takes literally 8-10 minutes to get into games, maps loading and sometimes when I'm playing the game it just lags, doesn't feel super smooth. I'm not sure how I can explain this well other than the fact that every time I get into a game I'm 3 rounds-late and it's got to the point that I'm getting banned for hours due to me being 'AFK'.
I don't have anything major running in my background as far as I can see from Task Manager
I did a full reset of my computer not even 4 months ago.
Please someone help me π

This is an issue with files loading off of your disk. You might have a HDD. If you do, you should defragment it or get an SSD and place Valorant on it.
Use
windows key + r than type "dfrgui" to check what type of drive you have.

Solid State Drives (SSD) and Hard Disk Drives (HDD) are data storage devices. SSDs are usually much smaller, thinner, and offer more storage volume, speed, and efficiency compared to HDDs.
