Val will not open, I am left with a black screen, and my cursor is loading with a blue circle.
I recently updated my drivers to the latest released one so this may be an issue? But if so, how do I resolve that to be able to play Valorant again? Please help or point me in the direction to get the help I need for this issue.

I just reinstalled my previous drivers and I am still receiving the same issue.
Press f11 it will ask you to relogin and then it starts repairing my files.
uhm f11 is just switch the game from full screen to window full screen 🙂
are you on laptop ?
Yeah but it asked me to restart and then it repaired my files
It unfreezes the game
cant be
maybe you just got error of connection . f11 wont ask you to relogin
Maybe because it unfreezes the game so it registers the issue and then tries to solve it
nope . you just got timing of error connection with the f11 so you thought it is
i have the same issue it wont open
f11 will only switch your game mode
Black screen first, switched to windowed mode, game crashes and asks me to restart the client>Opens the client> shows me the tab which says repairing the files.
wow . game by it self showed you where to repair the game ?
i think you are on something
if you had issue for repair the game it will show you update instead of play 🙂
The tab where it shows when you have to update changes to repair...
And starts the process
okay
anyway
@Rachel do your thing
It shows when I switch to windowed mode

@Rachel

this is what it shows

this will fix it?
Yes it should
Give it a try
@Rachel ...
What problem are you facing ? Stuck on black screen? Or the loading screen?
@Rachel I did all of those steps and now my game crashes once it opens after a long time
What should I do
It does that

Earlier I was stuck on black screen, but I restarted my laptop now it stucks on loading, won't let me switch to windowed now
^ if drivers are corrupted, just updating doesn’t fix it, you’ll have to reinstall them.
Does what
No but the problem is the game was running fine on last one
Relaunch the game and press F11
It happened just after the update that it gets stuck on loading and I'm having a hard time understanding how is the driver corrupted cuz it works fine for other games...
Update means game update
Cause game requires you to update all your drivers, game won’t run on outdated drivers.
Valorant mandates you to update everything.
Yeah but it was working on an outdated one before the the update
Now even after the new updated driver it won't run.
Lemme reinstall it again
Show task manager > performance tab
Show ss in cpu tab
It's intel i7 13gen rtx 4090
They don’t make you update every single update that drops immediately, maybe 2-3 updates later, game will stop working and will require you to update your gpu drivers to latest.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/785597/intel-arc-iris-xe-graphics-windows.html
download and install this driver
Intel
Intel® Arc™ & Iris® Xe Graphics - Windows*
This download installs Intel® Graphics Driver 32.0.101.7029 for Intel® Arc™ B-Series Graphics, Intel® Arc™ A-Series Graphics, Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, and Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors with Intel® Arc™ Graphics.
Did you do thisv
Yeah but I usually update it when the new one is stable
@Rachel I did that and it opens however once I go back to full screen
It crashes
My screen goes black and back to game back and forth and game is unresponsive
Nope but it is set to use the rtx
Mine never switches to integrated one
Like I said, everything needs to be updated, even if you’re not playing on igpu, you’ll need to update it.
I just checked it's updated too
:val_SusgeNoted:
Yeah now?
🙂

now we forgot the guy who made the post
Show ss here
LMFAOAOAOA
It won't let me see the update for 7029

Yeah cause you’re not on latest
If you’re looking at the support and assistant site, it doesn’t always show latest
No I meant the driver update app I have from intel won't suggest it lmao
Or even the intel graphics app
^
Cool I'll update it manually
Fuck intel driver assistant
@matt how’s it going for you so far? Did you complete installing ?
Not yet I am currently at work i will do this as soon as i get home
No worries
Let me know if it still doesn’t work
Any newer posts are all yours
Hold on for a few minutes
:val_Hampter:
:val_Hampter: gn
