So, I've been playing Valorant since it's release. Until Fade was released, I'd been taking a little break. Since I've started playing again, I've been penalized for repeated AFKs. The cause of these AFKS has been entirely either, when I join a match it literally doesn't load in time to let me select an agent, or when the game launches, a round resets, or I alt-tab at any point in time, it freezes my entire computer to where I have to force shutdown. This has happened in almost every single match I've played, and I've finally given in now that it tells me I've been flagged for "dodging" when I can't even pick a goddamn agent.
None of this was an issue last time I was playing. None of it. Occasionally the agent selection screen misses a few agents for a couple seconds. That's it. So I have NO idea what fucked up the game this badly.
I've ran a few different system checks, including the one in the pinned discussion. All were fully greenlit. I've never had these problems with other games. And I can understand being banned for a little while. AFKs are annoying, intentional or not. But I absolutely won't let myself get constantly zeroed out for XP every game, be forced to wait multiple days to play, or get flagged. This is fucking ridiculous, and I don't know what to do about it.
I'm not asking for some kind of exemption. I just want to know what the hell caused this. There's no way I'm the only one, right? And is there any way I can not get flagged for having to force shutdown my computer any time I want to play the game?
