Just bought a new PC, can't launch Valorant
I just bought a new PC and for whatever reason, I can't launch Valorant (it won't progress past the screen I've attached even if I leave it open for 25+ minutes). Looking for any advice as to why this is.
Suggestions/answers to questions I've already received:
- I have 32 GB RAM and 730 GB of available storage out of 930.
- I can run League of Legends, so Vanguard is working properly.
- I have secure boot enabled in BIOS and it shows as enabled in msinfo32.
- My specs are AMD Ryzen 5 7600 CPU/Asus Dual Radeon 7600 GPU.
- I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game and restarting my PC, multiple times.
- My graphics drivers are fully up to date.
- I can run other, more resource intensive games, including Elden Ring and Deadlock.
- I have deleted all temporary game files multiple times.
- I have tried running the game with multiple different refresh rates, resolutions, etc
- I have tried running the game with both HDMI and DisplayPort
- I have watched that one video that tells you to change config settings and followed the instructions. Nothing changed.
- I have opened the game successfully 1x. I closed it and then since then I haven't been able to open it. I'm not sure why.
- I do not get an error message. Previously I got error messages telling me to enable secure boot and update my graphics drivers. I fixed both.
- I have excluded Valorant from the firewall.
- I have reset the firewall.

disable hardware accelerated gpu scheduling
how do i do that
Click on Start > Settings > System > Display. Scroll down on the right, and click on Graphics for Windows 11 or Graphic settings for Windows 10. Windows 11 users need to next click on Change default graphics settings. Toggle the Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling option on or off.
