Valorant buggy when having other Apps open
I'm experiencing a strange issue while playing Valorant. The game runs completely fine at first, but as soon as I open certain programs on my PC (such as WhatsApp Desktop, the game starts behaving abnormally:
I can still move around, see enemies, and play from my perspective.
However, I cannot interact with anything — shooting, abilities, planting, etc. do not work.
Other players see me standing still.
It feels like I'm "ghosted" from the server – my client works, but the server doesn't seem to receive my actions.
Interestingly, if I press Alt+Tab to switch out of the game and then go back in, the game works normally for 1–2 seconds, and then the issue starts again.
This happens only when I open certain apps, not all. Discord, for example, does not cause any problems.
I'm using a wired LAN connection and a very highend system (64 GB RAM, high-end CPU/GPU), and system resource usage is low during gameplay. I’ve also tried running everything as administrator, but the issue persists.
