my valorant loads extremely slow

I know it seems like a pc problem, but it previously ran perfectly. I’ve tried multiple troubleshooting tactics and nothing seems to work. It’s gotten to a point where it takes 5-10 minutes to get into game menu and another 10 to actually load into the game. Which results in me getting penalized for being “afk” because by the time I load in it’s round 3-4. Has anyone had this problem? Or know how to fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
Solution:
if you have multiple storage units (one HDD, one SSD (at least)) find the Riot Games folder location. If its on the HDD, you need to move it to an SSD

can you check rq if you have valorant installed on an HDD? if yes - install it on an SSD this will most likely solve the issue

its your storage basically open up the task manager head to the performance tab there should be a storage thing called (C:), maybe even one thats called (D:) etc
