Had a nightmare with Valorant lately, I believe Vanguard keeps forcing the game to run on my Intel UHD instead of my RTX 3050. That caused low performance and constant eglInitialize GPU errors in the Riot client. We dug through fixes: reinstalled NVIDIA drivers, cleared shader caches, repaired Windows graphics stack with sfc /scannow + DISM, and reinstalled DirectX + VC++ runtimes.
But now your prob is Val stuck on loading screen right?

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.
Yeah actually most of the time it is just a black screen
Yup you’ll need to update the igpu
I think the initial issue I had was that I could never put it into full screen everytime I tried the game would crash and refresh to windowed or some other option
Okay I'll try update that now
I'm not sure if it's working, it's still presenting the same error and still stuck in the loading screen
Your nvidia drivers are updated as well right?
Press windows key
Type Event Viewer
Then click on Windows logs > Applications
Click on the latest “error” and look for the ones that mentions valorant and show ss
Yes they're updated
That's the error its showing
That’s intel driver
Valorant is still trying to call the Intel driver even though i’ve got an NVIDIA GPU right?
Use ddu to delete intel driver
And reinstall from the link i sent earlier
kk I ran a clean install when I installed the one you sent me earlier
Would that not have done the job
Also thank you so much for your help and support
I really appreciate it
DDU does the job better
kk I'll try that now
In DDU do I just run GPU -> All GPUs and then clean and restart?
No
GPU
INTEL
Done should I do a clean install when reinstalling?
No need cause DDU already did the the deleting old drivers part
Solution
It's fixed thank you so much
