It sounds like you're facing loading and connection issues. Here are a few steps you can try:

Check Your System Requirements: Ensure your PC meets VALORANT's minimum system requirements.
Update Drivers: Make sure your graphics and network drivers are up to date.
Restart Devices: Restart your PC, modem, and router.
Disable Background Applications: Close unnecessary applications that might be using too much CPU or network resources.
Firewall/Antivirus Settings: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall and antivirus software. More details here.
Check Internet Connection: A stable and fast internet connection is crucial. Wired connections are generally more stable than Wi-Fi.
Reinstall Game and Vanguard: Uninstall and then reinstall VALORANT and Riot Vanguard.
Run as Admin: Try running VALORANT and the Riot Client as an administrator.
Set Affinity in Task Manager: In Task Manager, set the VALORANT process to use fewer CPU cores (ideally two).

If issues persist, you might want to visit the Riot Support page and submit a ticket: Riot Games support.

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

windows key + r

than type "dfrgui" to check what type of drive you have.

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.
