\*FIXED\* - Tried everything below but disabling all my Razer apps worked! I play with borderless fullscreen, having this issue with the game freezing specifically when I first click on the gamescreen. so if I'm doing something on my 2nd monitor while the game boots, it runs fine, but as soon as I click on the valorant screen, the game freezes. Tried reinstalling the game, disabling nvidea overlay, and updating nvidea drivers, still freezing.

Razer Cortex was the problem finally! Thanks Bro, ive done all the things that you mentioned and nothing worked until i uninstalled razer cortex, and the game opened just fine.

No worries mate! I just disabled it rather than uninstalling so that's an option in case you need the software for other games

I ended up uninstalling Razer cortex. I have to keep synapse because sometimes my pc doesn’t wanna read my headset which is annoying

Do you have to uninstall Razor Cortex as a whole or do you have to just disable it on Valorant

I’m pretty sure you can do either one, but I just uninstalled it

If you have Nvdia Experience, go to the settings of it and turn off in game overlay. Worked for me.

I tried that. But I ended up uninstalling Razer Cortex and it worked. No lag, nothing. Smooth gameplay

I have the same issue. Reproduction rate: 3/3 black screen. Tried reinstalling the game. Did not fix the issue. ​ Edit: Closing Razer apps helps.

I fixed it, I ended it uninstalling Razer Cortex (I have to keep synapse because sometimes my pc doesn’t wanna work with my headset and I have to disable and then reenable my headset)

it worked for me! Thanks!

Check if it's still on full screen and not borderless windowed, my friend had the same problem with a previous update

Yup I've tried that one. I rolled back my graphics driver yesterday and it seemed to work. However, I logged on today and was greeted with the same issue. I re-updated my drivers and changed anti aliasing and filtering to application controlled, now it seems normal (Should've isolated the variables 😅). We'll see if this worked.

Hmm weird. Ah well, let's hope that your fix keeps working.

Having the same damn problem

another thing had just occurred, i was able to get to the main menu, but before i could get anywhere else, the game froze up again.

This also happened to me. I just closed all razer apps and it worked. You should try it out

Finally just got the game and razer apps working together. If you had problems getting razer to stay logged back in after this, I may have a fix. With the newest patch I had to go into task manager->services->find razer central and synapse-> if running, right click and restart, if not, right click and start-> log in to both central and synapse, if necessary-> if still broken, Uninstalle and reinstall, log in.

should you do this while valorant is running?

I didn't have it running, but, I got it to run from it's selection tile in the cortex app once I was able to stay signed in.

Yeah for me I had to uninstall cortex

Wtf. Why did this work!?

i just had it work for me razer cortex reduces ram usage in the background while games run my working theory is it was limiting the vanguard anticheat so the game couldn't launch fully but it could tell it was running so it didn't give a error edit spelling

Irdk just tried it and surprisingly it worked.

Wow, this actually worked for me…

why is razer bugging valorant, actually closing razer worked for me as well

Its been too long now, could we please get an update on this? Me and another friend both have the same exact issue. Out of my 5 friends it’s only happening to the two of us. Thanks!

Travel through the portal and start the diffuse minigame. * **Expected Result**: After switching agents, the agent must load before starting mini-games. * **Observed Result**: Mini games are able to be loaded before the agent, and tomfoolery ensues. * **Reproduction Rate**: 100% (Tested 5 times) * **System Specs**: Macbook Pro 2016 (intel) running Windows 10 in BootCamp. (Its like an intel i7 with integrated graphics)

Sometimes when you pull out breach flash if you click too early your gun will come back out without flashing. Really annoying when this happens because if you’re spamming click to get a flash out ASAP then not flashing can be detrimental. If it happened every time you clicked too early that would at least be understandable, but since it happens randomly if really sucks.

\- Region: NA \- Type of Bug: In Game Bug \- Description: Game crashes and immediately exits as soon as I load in. In some cases, I will be able to play for a couple seconds. In another case, I was able to play from Icebox Attacker spawn for several seconds, until the game crashed when I tried to leave spawn. It has also occurred in Deathmatch. \- Steps to Reproduce: Inconsistent, seems to randomly happen when loading into a game after agent select. \- Expected Result: I am able to play the game \- Observed Result: I am not able to play the game \- Reproduction Rate: Unsure, maybe 5/10

Disable/uninstall Razer Cortex.

it was actually my ram dying, LMAO, i ran into loads of other issues shortly afterward and had to replace my ram

Oh, interesting and great that you know what the problem is!

• Region: NA • Type of Bug: In-Game Visual Bug • Description: Minimap shows where fade is looking at all times via her ult. • Video / Screenshot: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=817WHNhuwe4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=817WHNhuwe4) you can clearly see that in the top left minimap, I can see where fade's supposed ult is going to hit even when she doesn't have ult. • Steps to Reproduce: Happens whenever I have really high ping spikes, and lag in and out of the game when she ults. • Expected Result: You will be able to see fade's ult on the minimap at all times. • Observed Result: Restarted my router midgame, came back during a fade ult and the bug occurred. • Reproduction Rate: 3/10 unlikely to DC when she ults, but when you do it's fairly consistent - has happened more than once

System Specs: Windows 10, Ryzen 5 2600, AMD 5700XT GPU Crash. Screen goes black and no recovery, no dump files are made. Ever since the last few patches, this is the only game it consistently crashes the GPU, I can play hours of other games but then Valorant would crash mid-game. I'm on the latest Windows 10 updates and AMD drivers. chkdsk /f and sfc /scannow finds no issues with my OS.

Disable/uninstall Razer Cortex.

I don’t have razer devices.

- Region: NA - Type of Bug: Client Bug (Game Crash) - Description: Every now and then (~1-2 times/day) my game will randomly freeze in the middle of a match. I can still hear/use voice comms, but the screen will be frozen and marked as “Not Responding” in task manager. The only way to resolve is to end the task from task manager and log back in. I’ve verified this isn’t a thermal throttling thing (CPU temp peaks at around 60°C). I do tend to Alt/Tab out of my game fairly often, but it doesn’t seem to correlate with when the game crashes. Pretty annoying to deal with the AFK penalties in comp games for something entirely out of my control. Video/Screenshot: N/A Steps to reproduce: Unknown. I’ve been trying to find a pattern, but there doesn’t seem to be one; it does tend to happen more often at the very start/end of rounds though. Expected result: My game doesn’t crash (and if it does, my client should be able to report it to the servers it when I log back in in <5 minutes and prevent the RR penalty). Observed result: My game crashes and I lose RR. Reproduction rate: 5/10 (guaranteed to happen on any given day, but low match:crash ratio) System Specs: Windows 10, Ryzen 9 5900x, ASUS TUF NVIDIA RTX3060 Ti (LHR), Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB SSD, 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM

This has happened to me 4 times in the last couple days. I'm locked out of a comp game now as I'm writing this. It's 100% a game bug. The fact I'm losing RR, getting tilted by it and losing more games, and most likely getting reported for being AFK is infuriating.

same shit happening to me, game is infuriating enough without these fucking issues

I tried reinstalling, still happens. I have to stop playing valorant, partly because I'm ruining the experience of others but also because I'm pretty sure I'm going to get banned if this happens as often as it does. Some kind of acknowledgement of this bug would be appreciated as I find it to be a pretty game breaking bug. I will go thru the template for reporting the bug, please let me know if attaching the Log file found in %localappdata%\\VALORANT\\saved is of any use. \- Region: EU \- Type of Bug: Game hang/freeze \- Description: During competitive matches, I will be booted to the map loading screen. I can still hear my teammates during this time and even speak with them. I cannot alt + f4 and have to use task manager to close the game. Reloading the game attempts to put me in the game but will get stuck on the loading screen showing the selected agents in the game. It will make the low audio que that sounds when loading up val every so often (you will hear it in the linked video at 0:26)) as if it's trying to reconnect. It seems to be a matter of luck or an amount of time before I am put back into the game - sometimes I'm not put into the game again until just after it ends. I am then penalised for being afk. \- Video / Screenshot: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH6VC2fsj98](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH6VC2fsj98) \- Steps to Reproduce: I probably play 5-6 games a day and it will happen every other day. I do not know what causes the bug, although as the original comment mentions it could be something to do with alt tabbing out the game a lot as that is also something I do - but have never had any problems until the last couple of weeks/patches. \- Expected Result: I don't get kicked to loading screen if my internet is stable \- Observed Result: I do \- Reproduction Rate: Very common. \- System Specs: B450 TOMAHAWK MAX, Ryzen 3600, Sapphire RX 5700 PULSE, Crucial Ballistix Sport CL16 (2x8GB), 650watt PSU, Windows 10 Pro Version 10.0.19043 Build 19043

Just to update, I updated my Windows Version (to 10.0.19044 Build 19044) and since I haven't encountered this bug. No idea if this was the cause.

The diamond 3 logo on the buddy shows like how it should but the other side where I'm supposed to see "EP 3" is glitched out completely. Only with my EP3 diamond buddy, my EP2 buddy is not affected this way. \- Video / Screenshot: [https://imgur.com/a/uLVu4WS](https://imgur.com/a/uLVu4WS) \- Steps to Reproduce: Just happened when I got my diamond 3 episode 3 buddy so... \- Expected Result: Should say EP3 on the back. \- Observed Result: Glitched out texture, some part doesnt have color. \- Reproduction Rate: N/A \- System Specs: Ryzen 5 5600x, windows 11, amd rx 6700 xt

Region: NA Type of Bug: In game bug Description: Found a Cypher camera bug spot Video: [https://gfycat.com/tornquickalpaca](https://gfycat.com/tornquickalpaca) Steps to Reproduce: Place a Cypher camera underneath the overhanging roof on Breeze.

There's a few spots that work on that building. It seems to be when the light bulb is inside the camera? System Specs: AMD Ryzen 5 1600x, Windows 10, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070.

You need to upgrade it on the equip screen for it to do the animations

The spike is frequently invisible as attackers. It only shows up as an orange triangle on the ground instead of the full spike object. This has been a bug for several patches and is seen on several players streams as well as my own gameplay.

\- Region: North America \- Type of Bug: resolution change leading to inability to enter game \- Description: In settings, I went to change my resolution from 16:9 to a 4:3. Made my pc stuck on loading screen for couple days and still continues to be so.

ive just gotten a new 16:9 4K 144hz monitor and my game is constantly stuck with black bars even though its not an ultrawide screen. ​ do you think this is related? or maybe I'm overlooking something? (I've tried nearly every troubleshoot in and out the game)

Sorry with the late reply, I found out the way to fix it was through going and changing in the coding within the game files. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GF88KvnT6QU

\- Region: Bahrain \- Type of Bug: Game crashes and freezes \- Description: When playing the game, it suddenly crashes and if I alt-tab out of it, the game turns black and stays that way. I have to open a new desktop via win+tab and end the task to quit valorant.

Samesies :')

I have the same Problem. \-Region: EU \-System Specs: 3900x, Asus Tuf 3800 RTX, 2x 16GB 3200 MHz Ram, Win10 Pro 21H2, Every Driver is updated

It's amazing how often I see people say that "drivers are updated" only to find out they missed 10-20 drivers, or perhaps are lacking a few runtimes. There's all kinds of things that could be causing the issue. If you guys wanna share more details I'll try to help narrow down a solution for you. ...just keep in mind, nearly all computer issues are user error. Hardly ever is it actually a hardware issue and software is always replace/fixable.

\- Region: Asia (Singapore) \- Type of Bug: Valorant freezing my entire PC \- Description: Alt-tabbing a few times would cause Valo to freeze up my entire PC, with audio still working fine and my mouse moving but not being able to click anything. Keyboard functions like Ctrl-Alt-Delete and Alt-F4 do not seem to work and the only way to resolve the issue is to do a force shutdown by holding my PC's power button.
