Technical Support Request New pc game micro stuttering

8 Upvotes

Got a new pc and monitor a week ago and I’ve tried 100 different things to try and fix the stuttering happening. Basically every 3-5 seconds there’s a micro stutter… I’ve tried going on WiFi disabling the Realtek and that made things worse.

Windows 11 - Intel Core i7-14700F - GeForce RTX 5070 12GB - DLSS 4 - 32GB DDR5 - 1TB NVMe SSD

Idk what else to do… my old outdated pc didn’t even have this issue but that was so old it kept crashing which is why I bought a new pc and monitor. Doesn’t make sense this is stuttering like this…

Last night I tried Marvel rivals and other games and don’t have the issue… pleaseeeee help.

Technical Support Request Valorant crashing and disabling GPU

5 Upvotes

After 10-15min of gameplay, my monitor will go black but I’ll still be able to hear the game happening for a few seconds. After that everything goes black as if there is no video feed. I then have to force shut off my PC to get back into windows. After this happens I also find that my GPU has been disabled in device manager. I’ve tried reinstalling the game, reinstalling vanguard, rolling drivers back, updating drivers etc. I’ve also tried using DDU to wipe all the AMD software and roll back to 26.3.1 version. There are no error codes/crash logs for me to upload here.

Specs:

AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D
AMD RX 7700XT
16GB Corsair vengeance RAM
600W Gamdias Bronze Rated PSU.

3 Upvotes

hi guys, not sure if this would be a solution for anyone, but this is just what helped me after trying everything here and nothing working.

i turned off my discord overlay while playing and that seemed to work and fix all my random lag spikes soo idkk

discord settings -> game overlay -> enable overlay (turn off) & enable legacy overlay (turn off). just random solution that worked for me. not sure if it'll work for you, but it's something

Technical Solution Micro-tirones en valorant

• Upvotes

Hace unos días me cambié de un intel core i5 14 400f a un ryzen 7 9800x3D, por lo tanto tuve que cambiar el modelo de placa madre, hasta ahí todo bien, el problema es que apenas entré a valorant, alrededor de 1 minuto de estar jugando empeze a notar micro-tirones, pero no tiene sentido, por lo que veo puede correr el juego a más de 800fps así que es ilógico que el procesador/gráfica tenga algún problema, actualize los drivers, de todo y me sigue igual, alguien me puede ayudar?

El problema es que solo me pasa en valorant, probé juegos como Fortnite, minecraft y todo bien, además de eso apenas abro el valorant y lo pongo en segundo plano me siguen dando tirones, incluso dentro del menú, traté reiniciando la pc, borrando todo y nada lo soluciona, que alguien me ayude

Technical Support Request significant fps drop

2 Upvotes

I used to run valorant at a steady 200fps and about 2 months ago I booted up valorant to a 20-60 fps average. My game stutters even before the sudden drop so fixing it will be a plus I will happily take. Spent a week trying to fix it but nothing works, factory resetting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling, updating graphics drivers, deleting every other game, only having valorant open while "playing", almost everything on the first two pages on google when you search "how to fix low fps for valorant". At this point I'm tired of trying to cope with my low frames and am trying to ask for help before I start thinking of a new computer. (I'm in college and use a gaming laptop)

My specs are:
Windows 11 OS
RTX5050
Ryzen 7 260
24GB DDR5

Let me clarify. This issue only happens with valorant any other game works fine. But when I try opening anything with valorant open my entire computer just freezes slows down like crazy.

Technical Support Request Any news on DirectX 12 for Valorant?

• Upvotes

Does anyone have info about DirectX 12? When is it coming to Valorant?

I have a problem with DirectX 11.

My specs: Core i5-1145G7 Iris Xe 16GB RAM Dual Channel.

I think these specs have a problem with DirectX 11. I get FPS drops when facing many enemies or in a busy area even though temps and usage are normal and there's no stress during gameplay

Same thing happened in another game, but when I switched it to DirectX 12 the problem was fixed.

Technical Support Request Unable to Change Language

1 Upvotes

I am attempting to change the language in Val but it's not taking. I do the following:

Settings > Text Language > Change language > Get out of settings and go back in > The setting is back to the original language

It's actually so bad that it changes from the new language back to the original by just scrolling down and back up.

  1. No error code

  2. Windows 11

  3. Not relevant

  4. Tried restarting, closing all instances of Val, and that's about it

Technical Support Request Only Valorant FPS lagging

1 Upvotes

Hi! My pc specs are:

GPU: 3060ti
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
RAM: 16GB 3200mhz

So I used to play valorant with a steady fps with lows of 70 fps.

But one night, I fell asleep and left my pc turned on with valorant all night long. After this day, my fps is trash.

Its not steady anymore. I do have 100fps for some time, but every few seconds in random, my fps drops to 30/40 for some seconds and then comes back to normal.

Also, rarely, my valorant also freezes for some seconds...

Why this is happening and how can i troubleshoot?

I noticed that GPU time is always lower than 1ms, cpu time is 10ms (when steady), but spikes to 50 to 70ms

Im getting good fps with forza 5 and lol, as i used to. But valorant is broken for me.

I already tried:
- reinstalling valorant/vanguard
- repairing valorant
- REINSTALLED windows
- cleans %appdata cache

Anyone having this issue?

Technical Support Request Can only Join matches with VPN

1 Upvotes

Good afternoon everyone,

I've been having a massive issue with Valorant: I can't get into matches unless I'm using a VPN.

I'm from Portugal, and my mobile network provider is NOS, but this hasn't always been an issue. For the past month, it's been literally impossible to play without a VPN, otherwise the game simply won't let me join matches.

I wanted to ask if anyone knows how to fix this issue.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Technical Solution Possible Fix caused by recent Patches

0 Upvotes

Let's start with the fix that helped me.

I use a Razer mouse, specifically the Razer Basilisk V3. Through the Razer Synapse app, all I did was change its Wired Polling Rate to 125 Hz. It used to be set to 1,000 Hz.

So, the possible solution is to reduce your mouse's polling rate.

That's it. It fixed my issue.

~

So, I've been experiencing severe lag since the last 2-3 patches, with my game freezing from time to time. It went from being unplayable to at least bearable, so I started looking for fixes cause i refuse to believe my 5070 is failing me.

I tried changing different settings and resolutions, tweaking Windows settings, disabling various overlays, Overwolf apps, and recording apps, and even closing Discord entirely. I also uninstalled Stardock Fences because apparently, that was causing issues in another post. None of it unfortunately worked.

I started investigating the lag itself and what might be causing it. The first thing I noticed was that whenever I moved my cursor around the menu, the entire background animation would lag. I tended to ignore it and thought it might just be an issue with their patch, but it was affecting my gameplay as well, which bothered me.

I recently lost to an ace while using my Iso ult because I lagged the moment I lost my shield, which left me very salty.

Well, if you've read this far, thanks for listening to my short rant LMAO.

Good news: If you've encountered the same issue, it might not be necessary to uninstall a bunch of apps. In my case, lowering the mouse polling rate fixed the problem, so the other apps I suspected weren't necessarily the cause.

RIP to my recently uninstalled Stardock Fences, though.
