No problem man
@Icarus
I have another issue 😭
Yes
What’s up
my game freezes everytime I get packet loss
it started recently
like a week ago
Freezes how? Could you head to the range and record the freeze ?
Record it with your phone
im not sure how to record it
becuase it happens randomly
Does it freeze for 5 sec then unfreeze and repeat?
not exactly 5 seconds
but like 1-2 seconds
and I used the packet lost text and found out it was becuase of packet loss
Could you open device manager > expand network adapters and show ss under that

Are you playing on wifi or eth?
WiFi
Let’s try something
What motherboard do you have ?
Exact model
Im not sure 😅
Press windows key + r
Type msinfo32
Show ss

Ahh hp
What model

I need exact model

I can’t send the link here

Press windows key

And open “System Configuration”
Head to “Services” tab
Check “Hide all Microsoft services”
And then “Disable all”
And find “vgc” and enable that only
Open “Task Manager”

And disable all
And ensble all riot related
Then restart your pc
it took some time to load in
but when it loaded in
it froze for sometime
and it doesnt let me enter into any game
or the range

;vgc
- Open the Task Manager > Details tab
- End the task on all VALORANT, Riot Client and VANGUARD-related apps/services
- Open the Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
- Uninstall Riot VANGUARD
- Open CMD as Admin and type these commands:
- sc delete vgc
- sc delete vgk
- Navigate to your C: Drive, then Program Files
- Find the VANGUARD folder and delete it
- Open the Riot Client and click update
- Restart your computer after the update
After you’re done with that:
- Press Windows key + R
- Type services.msc
- Look for vgc
- Right-click on vgc > Properties
- Change the startup type to automatic
- Start the services (if not started already)
We will be waiting for your response, thank you.

If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to contact support, looks like server sided issue

aight tysm
I submited a ticket : )

but do I try reinstalling the game?
@Icarus sorry if im bothering u alot 0_0 but how long would it usually take for me to get a reply for my ticket
Couple hours? Could even take couple days if they are busy with lots of tickets
oh 0_0
I got a reply within 3 mins
but its the same thing u asked me to do
I did it again
and it didnt work
I replied back
and I havent gottena reply since
😭🙏🏻
Same problem here, I have been able to play quietly all these days until this afternoon.
Riot has posted a message on https://support-valorant.riotgames.com/ I did what they said and it still doesn't work, let's see if they fix it
(Translation: If VAL won't launch or launches with a black screen after the latest patch, try restarting your PC first. If that doesn't work, a clean reinstall of your graphics drivers may resolve the issue. We hope this helps while we work on a solution.)
Someone can help me? :V

I have a question
would this in anyway be related

to the issue im having?
Give it a try
Connect power cord and update
yep its 14% done
it isnt updating :/
he said update failed again

yea I wasnt sure what was shutting it down
so I decided to try installing it from the update catalog
and its installing rn
no issues yet
