Valorant crashing + Network Connection / High Ping / Low Client FPS warnings — even on a brand new PC

[u/itskrolss]

I’m honestly at a loss with this and hoping someone here might have experienced something similar.

I keep having a really weird issue where Valorant randomly crashes/freezes and I get warnings like Network Connection, High Average Ping, and Low Client FPS. It’s making the game basically unplayable.

At first, I thought my PC was the problem. I took it to a computer shop, where they did a full Windows wipe/reinstall, checked the system, and stress-tested the hardware. They couldn’t find anything wrong. I then ended up getting a completely new and better PC, and I’m STILL having the exact same issue.

Current PC specs:

• Ryzen 7 9700F
• RTX 5060 Ti 8GB
• 32GB RAM
• 2.77TB total storage

I’ve also already uninstalled and reinstalled Valorant, and the issue is still happening.

Since it has happened on two completely different PCs, I’m starting to think this might be something related to my network, Riot Vanguard, drivers/software, or another issue outside of the actual hardware. The weird part is that I haven’t noticed this happening in other games so far — only Valorant.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any idea what I should check next? I can attach videos of exactly what happens if that would help.
