valorant freezes upon 1 minute of gameplay
My pc freezing every 5 seconds 1 minute after opening valorant. The freeze is not infinite meaning it freezes for 4 seconds then happens again 5 seconds later. My pc has the latest graphics drivers. I also tested deleting my latest graphics driver to make sure that was not the problem. It wasnt, i have 32 gb of ram 7800x3d cpu and a 4070 super graphics card. My internet connection is great and i re-downloaded valorant, i tested many stuff like restarting pc, ending valorant task manager and repairing my valorant files. I have 1.5 terabytes of storage left and out of ways on how i can solve this, please help me

it happened before in july too but spmetjing happened and it fixed but it started happening again in octboer
Have you reinstalled Valorant as well as every Riot app? (vanguard included) another thing I personally had issues with was tabbing in and out of the game leading to my game freezing, when I changed my screen setting to windowed fullscreen it stopped freezing my game
is it on ssd or hdd
ive redownloaded valorant and riot client but not vanguard idk tho but i also tried every screen, windowd full screen, windowd, and full screen nothing changed
ssd
it should be out there with your other installed apps
if i delete venguard do i have to delete valorwnt too?
yes if you wanna try reinstalling everything all over, you should delete and redownload all
what should i do if that does not work aswell?
also let's avoid putting monetary rewards for help
Another common fix for freezing, which usually was infinite instead of intermittently like in your case was turning off hardware accelerated gpu in your graphics settings, which is also worth a try
All in all, if you successfully delete all Riot apps and reinstall and it still happens, I'd just reach out to Riot's support they will be able to help you step by step as well

alright thank you the hard ware acceleration doesnt work either haha hopefully its not a hardware problem
Hope support helps you resolve it asap 👌
when i deleted valorant in add or remove programs it removed vanguard too
try capping your fps to like somewhat above your monitor's refresh rate
it already is
I dont think so
In the clip the fps is like changing every second
If its capped ( i cant see coz of poor vid quality) then maybe try reinstalling windows,
i turned it off on that time of video
trust me thats not the problem i have v sync on but i turned it off to see if thag was the problem
ive tried sm solutiosn ðŸ˜
Try reinstalling windows instead
Corrupt windows files can sometimes lead to these type of issues
omgg ðŸ˜
isnt that rlly complicated?
i would have to get a hard drive, then when i redownload windows i would lose all my apps
No
and what if it doesnt even work
Theres an option where you can select to "create a fresh windows install" by keeping all of your exisiting files as it is.
Then maybe find another way.
ohhh
would i need to put it on a hard drive?
I dont think 32 gb of ram 7800x3d cpu and a 4070 super graphics card would not be able to run a game like Valorant
but wouldnt that not get rid of the corrupted files?
ikk idk wtf is wrong w my pc ðŸ˜
You can watch it on Youtube, they will explain everything
I have Ryzen 5 5600H, 16GB Ram, RTX 3050, still i get 300FPS, with Opera, Spotify and Discord in background, no freeze no lag.
yeahh my val used to run rlly smooth
my pc freezes not like stutering it straight up freezes my whole pc for 5 seconds
Try reinstalling windows man
I know its a long process but maybe it will work, who know
OO i think i found a soltuion
for reinstalling windows
i think ima just remove all my files
ðŸ˜
because what fi i have a virus i dont know about
😳
it didnt work
wtf
repair the game
u cna fix corrupted files from a cmd
u dont need to reinstall windows all together
Do u still need help?
u shouldn't have reinstalled windows
ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
waste of time
It is just a simple driver issue
@peach Dm'd u a driver download link
NAH
sometimes cmd cant find corrupt files
so windows reinstall is must
Its not a corrupt files issue tho
As i said, its a driver issue
yea it can be
It quite literally IS a driver issue but sure ig
but its better to atleast run the cmd once before going for a complete reinstall
sometimes windows reinstall ends up causing more problems
it did for my old laptop
try bios diagnosis
@peach
shouldnt be related to connnectivity issue or packet loss, valorant is more cpu-based so maybe try update your cpu driver
bios update then cpu driver
i thought cpus didnt need updates?
Look at ur dms
i thought you knew about cpu driver
if your graphic driver had an issue, you probably would've figured out since most of the time its just blacks out. Game freeze occurs, most of the time related to cpu driver instability
game freeze only happens when the cpu processing too many files at once or a crappy cpu in some cases
thats everything you need to know in a nutshell
Solution
Solved in dms
