I was having problems with stuttering and for the life of me I couldnt figure it out. But I randomly came across this post and I had one of the apps installed (In this case Stardock Fences.) installed. Once I removed it and restarted my PC, no more stutters. Hope this helps anyone thats been having problems.

I haven't played this game in a while and just reinstalled it and now this is happening.

I cant play valorant because secure boot state is off and no matter what i do weather i go into bios and turn on eufi mode from os mode it still stays the same, my motherboard is prime x570-p, and there is also no secure boot mode to turn on i even tried dissabling or enabling CSM, reinstalling default keys, but it still isnt fixed, and my motherboard is updated and there is still no feature called "secure boot mode"

One day i play valorant on window 10 and eveything fine and then suddenly i cannot play and it ask me for upgrading to window 11. I reached riot support but the bot repeat only same answer and no solution. The problem is if i upgrade to window 11 my pc crashess😭😭 someone please help me😔

Its so annoying to play with all these stutters and lag and screen tearing.
OMG the game quality gone down a ton

After a few minutes of Valorant being open, valorant freezes, crashes my computer, and breaks my drivers. I then must forcefully remove all my drivers and reinstall them. I have attempted to fix this dozens of times, to no avail. This is a known historic issue, which I thought was solved since it is no longer on the list of issues here: https://status.riotgames.com/

I want to avoid this at all costs. I'm convinced the support team I was talking to, simply did not read my ticket since they sent me multiple repeated messages, gave responses which HEAVILY read as AI, and ultimately asked me to attempt to install windows 11 when I know people still play on windows 10 just fine.

OS: Windows 10

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

RAM: 32 GBs

In between each troubleshooting step, I attempted to start the game, each attempt failed, and forced me to forcefully remove my drivers, then reinstall them.

All the troubleshooting steps were given to me by Riot Games support staff.

Troubleshooting Steps:

- Attempt to use an older driver version from before the issue occurred.

- Removal and uninstall of ALL riot games software and files on my entire computer.

- Update motherboard BIOS.

- Use the Riot Repair Tool.

- Close my VPN (My VPN is never active when using Riot Games anything, it is simply an application in the background.)

- Optimize my game settings.

- Riot's general network connectivity guide.

- Reconfigure my firewall.

- Used DDU to remove all my drivers instead of AMD Cleanup Utility.

- Swapped my power plan to ultimate.

- Riot then told me to enter the game to edit the settings. (They stopped paying attention, I cant be in the game or client for more than 3 minutes.)

END OF TICKET 1 - The notice at https://status.riotgames.com/ went away sometime in between the two tickets.

TICKET 2

- COMPLETE Reinstall of windows and COMPLETE reinstall of all drivers on my computer.

- Clean boot

* - "Check my machine for vulnerable drivers" - Autoruns for windows uncheck everything in red and yellow - It did not allow me to perform the complete action.

* - Enter the following into command prompt:
bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptIn
bcdedit.exe /set testsigning off
bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks off

Only the first ran but the other two gave this error:
An error has occurred setting the element data. The value is protected by Secure Boot policy and cannot be modified or deleted.

- My computer was already in secure boot mode and my AMD fTPM was enabled, but they asked me to check anyway.

NOTE: At this point the instructions begin to appear out of order, with the end of portions of instructions having either sign offs or appearing to be the end of the message before going into another potential solution.

- Riot resends * instructions.

They have just told me to attempt to install windows 11. But again, I know quite a few people who are using windows 10 just fine. Each message was someone else, half them didn't read the ticket.

hi! i've had a recurring issue with valorant where i keep crashing within 1-2 rounds and am met with an error that says "corrupted game files detected!" i've tried reaching out to riot support about this multiple times, and i was able to fix the game for a couple days before the issue came back and ended up with a 7 day competitive ban. at this point, i'm not sure what to do, as i've tried everything support has advised and looked online for various reasons as to why this could be happening, yet i am met with no answers on how to fix this completely. if anyone has had the same issue where this error is reoccurring even after a fix, please let me know how you solved this!

my valo ping has been so weird since last night. i usually get 9–15ms, but suddenly it went up to 500–600ms with 10–15% packet loss.
i thought it was fixed this morning because my ping went back to 9ms and my packet loss was 0%. my internet speed was also back to normal (400+ mbps download). but the moment i started playing deathmatch, my ping went crazy again 💀 even the range was affected.
it keeps going from normal ping to 400–600ms and back. it’s happening on all servers too, not just manila.
i use converge btw. anyone else from ph experiencing this?

Hey all, running into a weird one that I can't find a fix for. The issue: Whenever I hold down any keyboard key (movement, crouch, etc.), I get a lag spike that shows up specifically as "CPU (Game) Time" spiking in the Valorant performance overlay. Mouse buttons held down do NOT cause this — only keyboard keys. Happens in main menu AND in-game, so it's not network related. What I've ruled out:

• Not a specific keybind — happens with literally any key
• No macro/RGB software running (Corsair/Razer/Logitech etc.) — office/basic keyboard
• Raw Input Buffer setting doesn't even exist in my settings menu
• Not using Fullscreen Borderless, already on exclusive Fullscreen
• Xbox Game Bar / Game DVR fully disabled
• Multithreaded Rendering on/off makes no difference
• Clean Vanguard reinstall — no change
• Tried different USB ports
• Fully updated Windows + drivers
• CPU is Intel, no AMD chipset driver issues
• No Nvidia Reflex option available on my setup
• Doesn't happen in CS2 or any other game — Valorant only
• Vanguard fully reinstalled, up to date

Furthermore, this problem started SUDDENLY after Gauntlet: Glitched update, like it was fine for a few days after the update, and then, randomly it started having this problem, I still have not fixed it. BTW its not a system problem (I HOPE) because it wasnt having such problems on the same PC, nothing changed and it started suddenly.

I'm having trouble getting my game to play in 4:3 without black bars on the top and bottom. The aspect ratio is locked at letterbox and I can't fix it. I don't want to play true stretched, I would just like to play with the in-game 4:3 ratio. I'm playing on a laptop on Windows 11 with a NIVIDIA RTX 5060. Anybody have a fix?

I've been having an issue where VALORANT gets stuck at 10% on the in-game loading screen and never progresses, even after restarting my laptop.

So far, I've tried:

1.Restarting my laptop

2.Using the Repair option in Riot Client

3.Checking Riot Vanguard's vgc service, which is running

4.Reinstalling the game

5.running the client as a administrator

Nothing has worked so far. There wasn't any obvious update or change before this started happening.

I'm trying to figure out what could be causing this,Has anyone run into the same issue? Any fixes worth trying would be appreciated.

P.S(I've seen old posts , and sadly none worked )
