@jidat
.
here
Press f11 as soon as the loading screen appears
okay
Also tell me if it gets in windowed mode or not
it does not
thats it?
Is it frozen again?
Or can u still do other things
wait its dowloading valorant again i deleted it thinking it will work but as always it won't
when it freezes i can't do anything
even can't turn on/off my keyboard light
Let the download finish
whole monitor's screen stucks
alright
yes
so what do i do @jidat
So is the download done?
no not yet 😭
but what will i have to do
^
Just press F11 once
hm
alright
whats the most common reason for this @jidat
The problem in the post where i wrote about igpus and the problem in this post are different
So for which one do u need a reason for?
both
This post's problem is that the game is in fullscreen mode and it freezes for some reason in fulscreen
The other post was just the igpu drivees not being updated
ohh
thanks
And why it freezes in fullscreen for some people u may ask?
I have no fckng idea
Prob some gpu related shit
Never looked into it too much
r his gpu drivers updated
I just ask people to play in windowed or windowed fullscreen mode and move on with my day
@jidat clicking f11 did not work
when i click then it goes uhhh yk when cross comes up but right after that it goes back to window mode
1 sec
so smart.
wait
wait
nvm
write where
this?
Between those 2 lines
Oh
Done

Doesn't work

@Lira the goose :3 | mimi <3 can you help me with this I wanna try valorant CS2 has way too toxic people
yea i got similar issues
more specifically mine freezes mostly during startup into menu screen and if it miraculously loads through it freezes as i load into matches
outcome A of that just straight up sends me back to lobby (whether it be custom game, deathmatch, even the range)
outcome B of loading into a match: i get van -1, van-72 or van 136
and everything jidat said and every single process lasso video, every video in hindi has been useless
even went into game files to edit graphics quality and nothing
fresh alt account doesnt work too
and note this has been happening for nearly 2 years
and yea my dell laptop is nearly a decade old but anyhoo i was able to play valorant on it for more than half of the time prior to all these issues happening
if this laptop can run minecraft with shaders on 12 chunks at 24fps and up to 100fps fully optimized on a world with farms producing 100k+ item drops/hr i dont know how valorant cant just load
(will send logs but im tired asf and dont wna bother researching on how to do that i dont wna keep thinking abt valorant pls ping me or smth to remind me)
Show the file in which u made the changes
Change the 1 to 2
It is supposed to be 2
where
The thing u wrote
FullScreenMode=1
Change it to 2
Save the file afterwards
now?
what now?
Restart ur pc and open the game
Just double click the val icon twice
Don't touch ur mouse and keyboard after that for like 10 minutes
Do I still have to click f11
No
Ok
Bro
Doesn't work
Now even before riot client opens it freezes
What is freezing if nothing has opened yet?
😭
My whole pc stops working when I open val
Why me 😭
I just wanna play game
It freezes so bad that when I click turn off button in my pc it doesn't work
I have to click restart

captain noman#2926
same
i tried dowloading valorant on my laptop
it worked fine on my laptop
issue is only with my pc
contacted valorant support they told me some steps but still didn't work
then they told me to dowload smth which extracts all my pc info and gave it to them
:val_Hampter:
how is it freezing?
Like my pc stops working completely
Only restart button works
have you fixed it yet? if assuming no, try turning off all startup applications when you run it
@Tuo <3
Download auto runs from the system internal suite
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
When you have it open press file, and then run as administrator
Then uncheck anything that is red or yellow
Except Vanguard and anything that fails to be unchecked
Restart your computer and then try the game again
Autoruns - Sysinternals
See what programs are configured to startup automatically when your system boots and you login.
Tried
When?
I don't see it in the chat
Valorant support team sent me the same steps
ah
open cmd as admin
enter
then enter
Then send a photo

It looks like vanguard is crashing
any solution
This is to do with software that's interfering with Vanguard
I'd recommend doing a clean boot if you haven't already
How to do it?
How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support
Describes how to use the clean boot process to troubleshoot a problem in Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista.
When you do a clean boot make sure not to disable vanguard when you press the disable all button
So when you do press the Disable all make sure to manually re tick
have you ever factory reset ur pc?
i know thats an extreme but you have tried everything after all..
nt
i have the same/ similar issue
where my screen freezes
and studders
i have no fix
havent played val in a bit now
Tried and it did not work again
@Saucywan
No what is that?
Reinstalled windows
No I'm not doing that
Also
I reinstalled valorant and still the same issue
win+r, msinfo32, send a photo
Oof I'll do it tomorrow now I have to sleep
sleeping is for nerds

A Riot Dev who works on Vanguard posted this on reddit a while ago
I used to have similar freezes but then I added a few files into the antivirus exception list
it fixed the issue for me
VALORANT Support
Your Firewall VS. VALORANT
If you've encountered Error Code 29, chances are something has gone awry in the interplay between VALORANT and Windows Firewall. This can be further complicated if you're running antivirus software...
Here's a blog by Riot Valorant inorder for how to add what files to the exception list
Exactly what I was going to say, just needed to wait for the system info
They don't have an igpu btw
Checked alrdy
Wait nvm i didn't check it
🙏
But i doubt its gonna fix it as the freezing caused by igpu drivers not being updated is usually different
This freeze is just their whole pc freezing and them having to force restart
this was even related to vanguard not digitally signed correctly relative to windows
Hence the "exception list" fix
there isn't vsg anywhere
i don't even see valorant over here but i do see riot client
after these steps i still don't see valorant anywhere in firewall list
Tried opening valorant after these steps and nothing fixed
restarted pc and i see this but still don't see valorant
I don't encounter any error code it just straight crashes my pc
this is what adds in exception when i do this step
It started asking me for update again and again after crashing and restarting
click on both the boxes for Vanguard user mode services
you'll have to add it manually

I did
I see this then
you can explicitly add a file via browsing through the file explorer
I'm telling you I did
and this is what i see
show screenshot
of the exception list
tick on both
ok
for all of the exceptions mentioned
not just for that
done
yes done
Do you see add another under the exception list?
yes
it's correct
what
wait
i don't see any add another
?
follow this again, remove any VALORANT and RIOT related entries and re-enter them
manually
Okay
read the blog post fully
while attempting
done
show me what all you added into the exception list
restarted my pc
^
lovely
now try opening the game
ok
yo whats hte issue dis person is having
Another thing that you can do is to disable "Core Isolation " under Windows security
Go to the Windows Security App and disable Core isolation
game freezes
when
done
didn't work
Why this issue not fixing?
😭
I tried everything
what's it like? Valo doesn't open?
It freezes my pc on loading screen
try disabling core isolation
in windows security app
wait
Valorant responded to my ticket
RUTHLESSSLYU
i just read the hwole post you should atleast try reinstalling vanguard once
I guess it's a completely unique scenario then
unless i missed it and you tried it already
i tried like 5 times
ah alright
anyway your vgc was crashing iirc
ig you can reinstall
cc cleaner op
+
I suspect the same
there is no league client
no it was doing that
aah its so up
dw just do valorant
do i have to uninstall everything related to riot?
it some how did it by itself
wow
suddenly someone added AVG anti virus on my pc
probably ccleaner ig
which added avg
you probably did not uncheck when it asked you for to install AVG too
lmaoo you forgot to select no to avg 😭
^
oh
didn't saw
you can uninstall it anyway
via ccleaner
ironic
there are many random applications dowloaded on my pc for some reason
you'll have ccleaner browser too
now i have reinstall valorant
it's weird the steps they are again telling me in ticket are the steps i already did
but
still doing it again and again
stupid game
Meh usually running the game in windowed mode fixes the issue
._.
tried that too
What do you mean by freezes
screen freezes
pc freezes
mouse cursor freezes
keyboard freezes
Ok
Can you download a software named who crashed. It will allow me to see why your windows is crashing
link please
I'll try after trying the steps from valorant support
www . resplendence . com/whocrashed
where
bro
riot support made it much worse
my pc used to freeze during loading screen but now it again starts to freeze even before riot client opens
I even gave them my pc logs
the steps they told me to do
gosh this is so fucking frustrating
how do i use it
That is not the right program
I'm gonna sue this shitty chinese company 😭
Then press download home edition
I even turned off firewall dude
still not working
don't tell me to buy a new pc instead 😭
Scroll down to who crashed
how do i use it
Press the analysis button
then
Send me a photo of the output
So when your game freezes you're saying your whole system freezes as well?
everything yes
Ok
so?
What do you do when this happens?
restart
even shutdown button stops working
Open advanced system settings
Go to the settings of startup and recovery
Then send me a photo
@Saucywan
how do you guys know that much
OK go ahead and launch the game but do not restart
are you guys some IT tech support
then what do i do?
wait
i legit changed nothing
Windows should notice that it crashed and automatically restart
it's still gonna freeze
Yes that's the point
ok
Then hopefully it will make a crash file and we can see what is crashing your system
Are your nividia drivers up to date?
the pikachu wisdom knows no bounds
didn't restart by itself
i had to restart it
How long did you wait?
yes
8 minuets
Ok
😭
do i break my pc or raid the riots hq
the steps they told me to do made my pc not functional 😭
my nvidia app won't open
I'm gonna reset my pc back to the new form
the steps yall told and experimented on my pc
made my pc fucking died
bruh
Did you reenable everything that you disabled
no and i don't remember how to do it either
How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support
Describes how to use the clean boot process to troubleshoot a problem in Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, or Windows Vista.
I have
already
done it
But instead of pressing disabled all. Press enable all
many times
Bro. We are reverting it back
Then in task manager, you can enable what you want to launch on startup.
After that is done
Restart your pc, then you’ll be back to what it was before
my drvers are updated
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html
Install this ^
This should work
nothing worked
yet
and i'm sure this one won't work either
my drivers are okay
:__:
it's only problem with val
Where did u check what cpu they had and if they had an igpu
I don't see their task manager ss anywhere
They sent msinfo
wtf 😭
i sent whatever you told me to send
Sorry what? 😭
Yea they don't have an igpu
Also that’s not the point
i alr sent my specs like
8 times
maybe 10+
Whats the point :val_CatBigStare:
The reason why the update for the IGPU drivers worked, was because of a certificate signing invalidation
can i reset my pc entirely
like
back to 0
maybe it can fix
10 problems 1 solution:- hard reset the pc :val_HeyApple:
Even that might not fix it if it is actually a driver issue
^
how do i do factory reset
it's the only option
Did u install that?
no
The fck u waiting for then
remove everything
It won't work
bye chat
its
wait WIAT did this person not do the first thing, aka the intel thing
Nah I'm doing it bcz I know it won't work
And stop experimenting with me 😭
You fucked my pc up

YEP
open your bios
wait lemme find the copy paste
"How?"
restart your pc, press f2 when it turns on to get into bios > if csm is enabled disable csm (should be in general settings), restart go back in bios > go to boot > go to secure boot > change setup mode to custom > enable secure boot > change setup mode to standard > restart pc > check if valorant works > if it does, ggs > IF IT DOESNT > go back into bios > go to boot > go to secure boot > click restore secure boot keys, if you do not see the option, click key management youll see it there > restart pc > it should work
nvm it worked
i didnt do anything
just launch valorant again
It will prob appear again in a minute
finally after years
wha 😭
oh wow it did
I press f2 and nothing happens
try esc or delete or f12
probably f12

I press f12 during what
when your pc starts
like as soon as it turns on
spam it
