Could be just your internet problem :val_PepeShrug:

bro its not the problem with the network
the thing is in mid game the fps suddenly drops
and it freezes to 1 fps
and then after a minute it shows connection error
@Metamorphosis PLZ HELP BRUV
😭
:val_KekwSob:
Bruh I don’t know what else can be done, you said you played for 6h :ChillBar_blink:
Are you playing on a laptop or a pc?
but not continuously
i played for like 2 hours and then took a break
then 1 hour
then it crashed
laptop
and do you play while connected to power?
i mean not every time
when the battery is low i connect the charger
first of all you are not supposed to play on battery
you get way less perfomance
hence the low fps
o'
but i capped my fps
plus it runs just fine on battery
@Metamorphosis good morning
so yeah should i play valorant only when laptop is plugged in to power?
@MetamorphosisIT KEEPS FREEZING MID GAME

Hm what laptop do u have
What kinda laptop comes with an H series processor and no dedicated gpu
Lenovo
god knows
When u bought it, didn't u look at the gpu
breh there was no other laptop in da store with gpu
the ones with gpu were hella expensive
How much was the laptop
like
60-65k INR
Yea that definitely has a gpu
yes integrated
but i dont understand why it crashes
intel UHD graphics bruh
I meant like a dedicated gpu
Not an igpu
Do u have memory integrity enabled
ahh yes it dosent
idk whats that bro
Open windows settings
Search for core isolation
There enable memory integrity
its enabled
already
Try disabling it
Also
Open task manager
Then details
Close evry valorant,riot client and vanguard related apps/services
Open control panel
Uninstall programs
Uninstall riot vanguard
Open cmd as admin and type these commands:-
1) sc delete vgc
2)sc delete vgk
Navigate to ur C drive then program files and find vanguard folder and delete it.
Then open riot client and click update
Restart ur pc after the update.
why
ok
now that i think about it
metamorphosis already told me to do these things
and i did
i deleted valorant yesterday night and re installed it
i did literally everything that u mentioned here before
should i just hard reset windows?
done disabling
Restart ur pc
k
dont go anywhere
ill be back in 1 min
ok done
Try the game
ok
bro @Jidat nothing seems to solve this issue
i tried what u said
and in mid game it crashed twice
but this time it didnt show the black screen, it just disconnected
yk when ur game disconnects and it goes back to the map preview name and screen
it showed me that
it happened twice in one game
ITS CRASHING AGAIN
BRO IM NOT EVEN PLAYING ANY MATCH RN I JUST LEFT THE GAME IN THE MENU
try this
netsh int ip resetipconfig /releaseipconfig /renewipconfig /flushdnsnetsh winsock resetnetsh advfirewall reset
ok ill try out
ok i did everything
ill try the game now
@Jidat
Have u tried doing a full game reinstall
yes bruh
i did it last night
should i reset windows?
Sure if u r willing to
okay
what if it still dosent fix the issue?
is there any other way @Jidat
No
And if that doesn't fix the issue you are very screwed.
Omygod its sensei 😩
😟
@Jidat finished resetting
pls wish me good luck so that val never crashes again
Fingers crossed
😡
@Jidat now that i reset my pc should i do these steps again?
btw shouuld i turn on random hardware access, and should i keep my network private or public? @Jidat @Metamorphosis
@Metamorphosis @Jidat
im cooked
it crashed again after the reset
Mine occasionally crashes (im talking every day) and i have an i3 with intel (R) UHD graphics and only 8 gb of DDR4 ram. My wifi is actually the absolute worst. But with this hardware my game drops to 1 fps every 5 minutes or so. On top of that i have lag, so playing is damn near impossible. I dont play comp for this exact reason. Id say save up for a PC, because in order to do well in valorant, you NEED at LEAST 144fps.
Nothing you do is gonna fix the issue until you get 1) better wifi and 2) better hardware
bro my laptop is just 6 months old
why would i buy a new one again
my wifi is really good
Mines 3 years old and still works fine
i mean my laptop works fine but not while playing valorant
for regular use its perfectly fine
playing games as heavy as valorant with anything less than an i7 and ethernet is horrible 😭
yeah
have you tested it?
yeah
i get like 90 or 100 mbps
🙂
O_O
i play with this
god damn
even if you think your problem is bad, theres someone out there who is worse
yes its annoying
i know bro im sorry for you
i should be grateful with what i have ig
Js play till it crashes, take a break, let the pc rest a little, then come back and try again
that seems like a gud idea
guys help me bro @Metamorphosis @Jidat
the frequency has increased now
it crashed 4 times in one competitive game
