Opening Valorant takes years

Everytime I try to open Valorant it takes like 10 minutes to boot up, it got so bad that I received AFK penalty 2 times because it couldn't load me on time
I've uptaded drivers but it didn't change anything basicly
And from what I can tell, the problem roots up to generally games ran on Unreal Engine (mainly 4), cause Wuthering Waves are Fortnite also ran bad for me, but, for example, Cyberpunk 2077 or Elden Ring run smoothly for me, stable 60 FPS on medium-high settings 🤷
I have:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-core
NVidia Geforce GTX 1660 Super
and 16 GB of RAM
I also have Windows 11 installed if it matters, but I had performance issues long before I upgraded
and in the end it didn't change anything, for good nor bad.
Can anybody help me?
