Heya! @Kris try to only use the solution button if your advice actually solves the issue described :)! If you are waiting on a response to see, don’t mark it as solved. Because, these forums are logged and search-able on google, we want to promote correct solves !
Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you so much for letting me know!
thank you! it worked. :) although, quick question. is it possible for my graphics affecting my loading process into games or maybe something else?
@Kris
I don't know much about that
@MixDo you happen to know?
yep may affect if other app use Hardware Acceleration like discord
thanks for helping talontedgamer
try disabling like this Under
Settings>advanced
and turning that off affects valorant’s loading? it’s only valorant being slow really.
yep may help
ah okay, thank you both so much!
@xena ! Load times are also affected by your storage device! Learn more below 👇
This is an issue with files loading off of your disk. You might have a HDD. If you do, you should defragment it or get an SSD and place Valorant on it.
Use
windows key + r than type "dfrgui" to check what type of drive you have.
Learn how to defragment:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/defragment-your-windows-10-pc-048aefac-7f1f-4632-d48a-9700c4ec702a
Solid State Drives (SSD) and Hard Disk Drives (HDD) are data storage devices. SSDs are usually much smaller, thinner, and offer more storage volume, speed, and efficiency compared to HDDs.
ah alright thank you! i’ll look into it. especially because i loaded in after 4 rounds were already played ugh
Yep!! That’s definitely a storage device issue. If defragmentation doesn’t work for your HDD, head online in search for a SDD or External SSD
okay thank you!! i’ll keep this open and work on it later tomorrow then update since it’s late. have a good night!
ive got this same problem i opened it how to fix sorry for high jacking post xena
no it’s okay! i hope that gets solved as well!
Select the drive that Valorant is stored on, and click optimize. This will start the defragmentation process to optimize your drive :)!
ty ❤️
ah okay. i did it now. i'll play a few games and let you know if its solved. :)
It has like a 1% affect most of the time
U won't even notice it tbh
yeah i don't think it did anything
I recommend reinstalling windows
Helps alot sometimes
ah okay i'll look into it after this game
thankyou!
reinstalled & updated the drive but nothing worked .. i keep joining like 1-5 games late and getting a penalty
^ on my gfs acc too ugh
Buy a ssd
Ur hdd is prob cooked
probably. and thank you. i think i'll ask my brother to check it out first so i maybe don't have to waste money.
i got penalized even though i aced bro
valorant is crazy
