valorant slows my pc down extremely upon launch until i close it
valorant slows my pc down upon launching and while the program is up. it was working fine for me up until recently where it just slows my pc down extremely. (ive even tried redownloading the game and tried both hdd and SSD which hasn't helped, and i can play and do anything else just fine EXCEPT valorant)

check your task manager
a file might be corrupted
oh nvm i just realized u redownloadde
Same thing happens to me, I’m legit stuck in the game. I can’t do anything, only look around with the mouse
And I refuse to belive is my keyboard
Even after I close valorant my pc is still freezed
time for new pc bud
it’s literally not the pc though
literally the day before my issue occurred everything was working fine, then all of a sudden it causes my pc to MASSIVELY drop in frames
task manager doesn’t display anything out of the ordinary
I’ve redownloaded the game and it still doesn’t help
like it makes no sense 😭
make sure smt didnt come loose in your pc
and corruption can be checked with
a cmd prompt
oh? how so?
Im at work rn but I suppose I could check when im home
anything is worth a try at this point 😭
It’s deff no the pc, I can run cs2 without problems, Elden ring and wukong at best graphics
I’m curious if you only lose frames ingame. cause for me my ENTIRE pc slows down when I launch valorant, but playing anything else like cs2 and dbd works fine
Nah I don’t lose any fps, I run it constantly at 400, in order for me to play the game I gotta restart my whole pc
memory leak
search up how to fix memory leak
val always does it when it feels like it
Thanks, will try to see when I’m home
I looked on reddit for your symptons, and people have said that reinstalling the game fixxed it, but remember every PC is different
I tried already, it didn’t
best case scenario, it's the game and not you
I saw multiple people complain about similar problems, so it might the the game, these problems started recently too, before I had no problems
same this happened to me like 2 days ago
yeah im not really sure, havent experienced it dont know what it looks like and i certainly have never heared about not being able to move or anything then ur pc softlocking
maybe run a riotlog and send it to support and ask for some help
if you have fully uninstalled it from your pc withiout a doubt and reinstaled it and it's still happening im pretty sure it's something to do with your pc
because the game doesnt do that every so often
-- or even when it just feels like it if you get what i mean
maybe keyboard drivers are ruined if you can still move your mouse
and valorant might just be screwing that up even more
How u upgrade keyboard drivers..?
you dont, really "upgrade"
if there is something wrong with them you can tell, and you can reinstall them but pretty much plugging it in and out
you can run a troubleshoot
Click the Windows Start menu and type “device manager.” ...
Click Keyboards and choose which keyboards need to be reset.
Press X at the top to uninstall the device.
Choose Scan for hardware changes.
Select your keyboard and click the Update device driver.
I will try ro see
To see*
some applications also automatically update them
I know some antiviruses supply the tool to do it
Malwarebytes does, Avast does
not sure if they're free though, but you can use a free subscription if im not mistaken
just make sure you get the right one
many companies pretend to be anti viruses >> to inject malware into your pc.
but for the sake of it, just do it the device manager way.
Right-click on Start and select Device Manager
Expand Keyboards
Right-click on the affected keyboard and select Update driver
Select Search automatically for updated driver software
you can also just do this ^
this is aso an available appication on windows 10/11, which finds keyboard driver errors
you can find it through control panel > devices > keyboard > troubelshoot
or just be writing "find nad fix keyboard problems"
it’s such a strange issue but you are right problems like these don’t really just occur out of the blue for no reason, im probably gonna try to redownload it again maybe I didn’t do it fully last time, and also check for any loose cables cause I do use an external SSD
and if this doesnt help, unfortunatey i dont know
i dont think external should matter aslong as it's an SSD.
use an uninstaller application to ensure it's fully off your pc before you do this
I.e. ReVo uninstaller

RevoUninstaller

it's an old website so make sure you press the correct download button
wouldnt just deleting the app in ur settings and deleting any remaining folders be sufficient?
ok i have law school, any issues just ping me and i'll respond by 12:15 gmt+1
okay :D
no, some applications leave traces
and it leads to errors in the future
also I see
such as natural corruption
but by usual, if you do just reinstal it, it should replace those files, but it's always better to be safe
also, sorry for the ping but, make sure you dont uninstall anything neccessary when you are uninstaling
it uninstalls important files if you ask it to.
(i almost deleted loads of my files because i pressed "select all" instead of the files i wanted to delete
😭
files linked with valorant should be highlighted
Find the game you want to uninstall, right click and press uninstall.
it should load a page where it asks you how far you want it to scan
make sure it scans moderate, you dont need to do a full scan (takes forever)
then a explorer will open and show you the origin of all of the files, select the highlighted ones ( the files containing the name riot, valorant, vanguard etc.) then press uninstall
and it should remove all traces of valorant & the game itself
okay so i tried again
and now it just kinda.. works..
i didnt change anything other than trying to run as adminisrator again
and it just works 😭
idk how but im not complaining LOL
Somehow it works for me as well?
maybe today we lucky 🙏
