Windows key + r -> msinfo32

hdd or ssd?

vals installed on D drive
open the task manager > performance

RAM is used more lol
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:

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.
The valorant is on D drive which is HDD
i recommend you to put it in C drive
so shud i reinstall
also keep atleast 30~50 gb free on C drive'
move the riot games folder to cdrive
yh i originally reset my pc and put val on d drive cos c drive was clogged w old games and val
alr
then run the installer
riot games?
then select folder you placed in cdrive
yea
i copied it to c drive shud i delete the val folder from D drive
ok
