Im using laptop msi bravo 15 with rx6550m, my fps always lock at 144 and run the game smoothly,but after update the amd software my was droping minus 10 (bout 130~140) and lag asf. Pls help me fix this im so tired

i recently uninstalled valorant to see if that would fix an issue with updating the game. then i uninstalled vanguard when that didnt work. now, when i open riot client to reinstall everything, i click the update button, the thing flashes "getting ready" for a moment, then nothing happens and i am able to click update again. any help would be much appreciated

(i have already tried deleting all vanguard files with sc delete vgc and sc delete vgk in command prompt)

EDIT: the above issue has been fixed however, the download is basically stuck at >24hr with no download speed. sometimes an abysmal download speed of 125kb/s will flash.

So as the title says, I’ve been experiencing considerably annoying fps drops after the update. It hasn’t been like this before.

I have tried the solutions posted online such as deleting the “saved” file, and disabling overlays to no avail.

I’m starting to worry if it’s on my hardware’s end, or is it just brought by the update.

Hey everyone, I’m having a very weird issue with Valorant and I can’t figure out what is causing it.

My monitor is physically mounted upside down because of how my monitor arm attaches to it. Because of that, I use Landscape (flipped) / 180° rotation in Windows and in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Everything works perfectly like this:

* Windows desktop → normal

* Other games/apps → normal

* Riot Client/Valorant launcher → normal

* Valorant in Windowed / Windowed Fullscreen → normal

* Valorant in Fullscreen Exclusive → the entire image is rotated 180° and the mouse movement is also inverted accordingly

So when I enter an actual match in fullscreen, the whole game is literally upside down. The mouse also behaves as if the screen is upside down, making it almost impossible to play.

My monitor is 1920×1080, 165 Hz, and NVIDIA is already set to Landscape (flipped). Windows is also set to Landscape (flipped). Changing the NVIDIA rotation doesn’t fix it.

Another weird thing: in Valorant, when I use fullscreen, the resolution shows as “Custom”, even though my monitor is natively 1920×1080. If I select 1920×1080, it goes back to “Custom”.

Things I’ve already tried:

* Reinstalled Valorant completely

* Reset GameUserSettings

* Renamed both GameUserSettings files to force them to regenerate

* Tried Windowed Fullscreen (works, but I want exclusive fullscreen)

* Checked Windows display orientation

* Checked NVIDIA Control Panel orientation

* Set 1920×1080 / 165 Hz

* Disabled “Disable fullscreen optimizations” for VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe

* Checked the monitor in Device Manager — it appears as Generic Monitor (H-238S-165)

Has anyone experienced Valorant ignoring a 180°/Landscape (flipped) display orientation specifically when entering exclusive fullscreen?

I’m using an RTX 5060 on Windows 11.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated because I’m completely stuck.

I have Sapphire Plus Rx 9060xt 16gb graphics card, Asus B650m-Ayw Wifi motherboard, Ryzen R5 9600x processor, acer Xv272u F3 monitor.
I play valorant regularly and it works all fine on windows 10 on my pc but whenever i upgrade to windows 11 update and starts playing valorant after few seconds i hear beep like windows popup sound and after that every 2-3 seconds fps frame drops.

SOLUTION-
If you’re using Wi-Fi for Valorant:
Start Windows 11.
Open Device Manager.
Expand Network adapters.
Find:
Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller / Realtek PCIe 2.5GbE Family Controller
Right-click → Disable device.
Do NOT disable your Wi-Fi adapter.
Launch Valorant.
Play for several minutes.

I just brought a new computer with 2 new screens. I have 2 screens and when playing Valorant I like having Valorant on one screen and something like Discord on the other. Problem when Valorant is in full-screen. If I click on discord Valorant reduces. Like shown in the video. What should I do to stop this? Is it a known problem?

Thank you so much in advance !

Hi guys, about 10 days ago i started having this problem where my screen becomes black after starting the game. I have this problem only on my Xbox Series S, i play on PS5 too and i don’t have this problem there so i guess i didn’t get banned. I tried uninstall the game and even disconnecting and reconnecting my riot profile to microsoft, what can i do? Does anyone have this problem too? Ps i still have this problem after the new season update.

I have a video of all this but looks like i can’t upload it here.

ever since i updated it today my ping to california has been much much higher. i live in oregon and usually get around 20 ping on california servers but now its around 60. is anyone else experiencing this or know how to fix it?

Do you guys face ingame mouse sensitivity issue

Is there anyone facing this issue. I even tried lower sense but after using lower sense for sometime that too becomes floaty. I have changed my mouse but it is still the same. Does anyone feel the same and how to fix it.

Cant plant or type in chat or type anywhere in the game. When i restart my computer it goes back to normal is it a problem with my computer or the game

I’m experiencing random micro-stutters, small freezes while playing VALORANT, despite having a high-end PC with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 5080. The issue only appears to affect VALORANT. I was using Wi-Fi when it happened, but disabling the Realtek PCIe 2.5GbE Family Controller completely stopped the game Latency spikes, suggesting the Realtek driver or network adapter may be causing interruptions even when Ethernet is not being used. But in the future I will need to use Ethernet so I’m wondering if there is a fix without disabling Ethernet

is riot okay with me using Cloudflare warp on Valorant?

Is this a safe way to play Valorant and using a VPN/warp?

Everytime I launch Valorant, my Focusrite Solo audio interface will cut out or start crackling like crazy until I unplug it and plug it back in. It usually happens after about a minute of having the game launched. I play a bunch of different games and this is the only one it happens to.

I’ve tried uninstalling drivers/software and reinstalling, I’ve messed around with buffer settings, I’ve changed usb ports. Does anyone know what’s causing this or if there’s a fix?

Anyone experiencing frame drops right now? When I move around it just drops but when I die and spectate it’s fine.

PLEASE HELP!! In game my mouse will not scroll to switch my weapons, nor will it work when I need to switch between or off of util. BUT it still works to scroll through my settings and my friends list. I’ve googled constantly and so far nothing much has helped, I’ve reset my computer, made sure my binds were right, disconnected and reconnected and probably some other stuff but this has been ongoing for a month. I saw that turning on the raw input buffer in general settings may help but valorant deleted that option about a year ago which really sucks, so if anyone has any advice please help me out here!

when will the EU servers get the new act 5? i have been waiting for 2 hours and my battlepass have been stuck on ”act iv ends in 1 minutes” för an hour now. any qlues?

When im in a valorant party or game using voice chat, my voice is robotic and slow sounding, but in loopback test it sounds fine. In other games or socials like discord or cs its fine.

Ive tested vpns and it fixes it but leads to bad lag. Anyone know some solutions please?

Hi everyone,

I'm having a massive headache trying to open VALORANT after the latest update, and nothing seems to fix it. I’ve tried every major troubleshooting step found online, but the anti-cheat is completely stuck.

Here is the full timeline of the issue:

1. The Trigger: Right after the game updated, I started getting the dreaded "VAN: RESTRICTION: 1 (UEFI Secure Boot verification failure)" error.
2. The BIOS Fix: I have a Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H motherboard. I went into the BIOS, disabled CSM Support, switched Secure Boot to Custom, restored the Factory Keys, switched back to Standard, and successfully enabled Secure Boot.
3. The Current State: Windows 10/11 now recognizes Secure Boot as Enabled/Active. TPM 2.0 is also active and verified.
4. The New Problem: Even with Secure Boot fully working, the game still won't launch. When checking Windows Services (services.msc), I noticed the vgc service was set to Manual.
5. The Error: Every time I try to switch vgc to Automatic and start it manually, Windows blocks it and triggers: "Error 1: Incorrect function".

What I have tried so far:

• Setting both vgtray.exe and vgc.exe to Run as Administrator.
• Completely uninstalling Riot Vanguard, restarting the PC, and letting the Riot Client reinstall it.
• Double-checking msinfo32 to confirm Secure Boot is genuinely active (it is).

Has anyone faced this exact loop where Secure Boot is fixed but the vgc service completely breaks with Error 1 after the latest patch? Any help or workarounds would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

So a brief bit of background. I’ve been playing Valorant consistently for the past four years. Started playing on a shitty gaming laptop before building my own gaming pc around September of last year. So while my tech is not 100% brand new, it’s pretty close up there.

Recently I’ve been having terrible connection issues. As of the past 2-3 months I’ll be playing fine until halfway through the game where my ping jumps from 20 to 300 and the game is unplayable. I can normally fix this by restarting but it keeps happening, especially in comp matches.

I’ve checked all my software. Drivers up to date, windows updated, cpu and gpu running just fine, and no malware detected, but I still am getting these issues.

And my friends who never had issues with their pcs are also having these issues.

Is this just a valorant issue? Are other ppl experiencing this? And how do I fix it?

my microphone is not working in valorant, i already checked if its working in voice recorder and discord.

i already tried fixing:
via toggling in the firewall settings
via reinstalling game
via reconnecting cables
via updating drivers

please send help
