valorant keeps on lagging at the start of a match.
whenever I play valorant, during a match my game freezes a lot till like round 6 then it eventually gets smoother. I'm wondering if this is a rendering issue or what not but I really don't like going 0-5 every match I play. the freezes usually happen when I see players or get closer to them. I've tried all sorts of fps guides and everything trying to fix it but I still can't find a way to fix it. I would really appreciate any help on this matter.

Drop a recording of the freeze pls
Also after 6 rounds it doesn’t freeze anymore?
alright, and no the game doesn't freeze/freeze as much as before
Open task manager
Performance
Show ss
Just sounds like a specs issue to me
valorant running btw
What drive is ur valorant on
C drive
Is the ssd that u have connected an external one?
The game is lagging cuz of 1 of 2 reasons
Either its the super slow hdd
Or
The 8 gigs of ram
Tho i am sure its cuz of the hdd
If the ssd that u have connected is an internal ssd then move ur game to it
And ur OS preferably
yes it is an external ssd
should I move the game to the external ssd?
these are my drives
It will not work on an external ssd most probably
Valorant just doesn't like external drives usually
so is there another way to fix the freezing?
U could try reinstalling valorant
Fixes it sometimes
