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.

uhm f11 is just switch the game from full screen to window full screen 🙂 are you on laptop ?
ČØŠMÎĆ 么 VøŘtexX
Yeah but it asked me to restart and then it repaired my files It unfreezes the game
momo
momo7h ago
cant be maybe you just got error of connection . f11 wont ask you to relogin
ČØŠMÎĆ 么 VøŘtexX
Maybe because it unfreezes the game so it registers the issue and then tries to solve it
momo
momo7h ago
nope . you just got timing of error connection with the f11 so you thought it is

f11 will only switch your game mode
ČØŠMÎĆ 么 VøŘtexX
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.

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
Rachel

^ if drivers are corrupted, just updating doesn’t fix it, you’ll have to reinstall them. Does what
ČØŠMÎĆ 么 VøŘtexX
No but the problem is the game was running fine on last one
Rachel
Rachel6h ago
Relaunch the game and press F11
ČØŠMÎĆ 么 VøŘtexX
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
Rachel
Rachel6h ago
Cause game requires you to update all your drivers, game won’t run on outdated drivers. Valorant mandates you to update everything.
ČØŠMÎĆ 么 VøŘtexX
Yeah but it was working on an outdated one before the the update Now even after the new updated driver it won't run.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
ČØŠMÎĆ 么 VøŘtexX
It's intel i7 13gen rtx 4090
Rachel
Rachel6h ago
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.

ČØŠMÎĆ 么 VøŘtexX
Nope but it is set to use the rtx Mine never switches to integrated one
Rachel
Rachel6h ago
Like I said, everything needs to be updated, even if you’re not playing on igpu, you’ll need to update it.
ČØŠMÎĆ 么 VøŘtexX

Rachel
