Hey everyone, it’s my first post here. Does anyone experience their Valorant loading taking too long when at the loading screen before the in-game. And do you also experience the same issue when returning back to the lobby after match? Another thing is, on the agent select screen, when I select an agent, it’s supposed to appear on the screen but mine doesn’t. Is there anyone who can help me on this matter? Thank you so much

Hey man, I'm having the exactly same problem, i tried everything, redownload riot vanguard and another things, anyway, i couldn't fix my problem on my own, so, if you get a way to fix it, let me know please.

Bucky If you're experiencing issues with Valorant loading times and visual glitches during agent selection, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problems: Check System Requirements: Ensure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Valorant. Outdated or underpowered hardware may contribute to slow loading times and graphical issues. Update Graphics Drivers: Make sure your graphics drivers are up-to-date. Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause various issues, including slow loading times and graphical glitches. Visit the website of your graphics card manufacturer to download and install the latest drivers. Verify Game Files: In the Valorant launcher, click on the gear icon in the top-right corner, go to "Settings," and then click on "Check for Updates." This will verify the integrity of your game files and download any missing or corrupted files. Close Unnecessary Background Applications: Close any unnecessary applications running in the background, as they could be consuming system resources and impacting game performance. Adjust Graphics Settings: In the game settings, try lowering the graphics settings to see if it improves loading times and graphical performance. Experiment with different settings to find a balance between visual quality and performance. Check Internet Connection: A stable internet connection is crucial for online games like Valorant. Ensure that your internet connection is stable and not experiencing packet loss or high latency. Reinstall Valorant: If the issue persists, consider uninstalling and reinstalling Valorant. This can help eliminate any corrupted files that might be causing the problems. Submit a Support Ticket: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Valorant's official support. Submit a support ticket with detailed information about the problems you're experiencing. The game's support team can provide further assistance. Keep in mind that game-related issues can vary, and these suggestions are general troubleshooting steps. If the problem persists, contacting Valorant's official support is the best course of action for personalized assistance.

Valorant Taking Too Long to Load

fryman

the problem is probably on valorant cus cs2 takes like under 10 or 10 seconds to load in my pc and valorant takes forever (not to mention cs2 is grapichally more intensive)

Sempaiii

fryman same here. It takes more than 3 to 4 minutes to load a game while in cs2 it takes barely some seconds. Dunno the fix to that. Some say try installing valo on your ssd

SidTurtle

fryman it’s the same for me. Cs loads quick and valorant takes forever. It’s worse with each update as well.

AlfiRamdani

Same here, the loading is too long like 4-5 minutes in deathmatch and 7 minutes for competitive, Please Fix for this issue

MoatasemLY

Valorant developers are idiots

MoatasemLY thats pretty much common information they expect everyone to have a super nasa computer even tho most people are just rocking low to mid end pcs with just good enough specs

sitarr

This is happening to me for over half a year now, every single time it takes 3+ minutes to load into a match and then you get a penalty for being afk....Aawesome. Tried reinstalling valorant on different disks and nothing changed.At the same time i can load into a cs2 game under 10 seconds so i really dont know what tf is going on but its really annoying.

sanne

I've had the same problem. I contacted riot about this and they told me to try and download the game on my main drive. This helped for me

I have been having this issue for a while and just recently I got it fixed, I don’t know what was the fix was but a few things I did was, update my graphics drivers, reinstalled the game onto my main drive, made sure that the riot client and valorant were installed on the same driver I hope this helps!

kyoml001

JustinPadilla How do you check Riot and Valorant are in the same driver?

Servaretur

When my friend started playing valorant he had this problem too. It turned out that Valorant really dislikes HDD. So if possible, try to switch to SSD.

If you can't change the disk, there are a couple of options.

*Free up as much disk space as possible.

*Defragment the disk

*Run 1-2 deathmatch (not a team one) before your favorite other mode, the system caches repeated requests and subsequent loads will be almost instantaneous. Default deathmatch does not give any offences, so after the end of loading you can immediately quit and start the next one.

I downloaded Valorant to my SSD and now its gone.

Magixc

I just want to know why i got the middle configuration asked by valorant to play the game but everytime loading scren takes 5 min to clear. I tried a lot of options but nothing really works. What can I do more ? Someone know how to fix it ?

AngPogiTalagaNiRyz

my game was running fine 3 years ago , now i have to wait 5+ minutes to load in competitive/unranked and 2-3 minutes on practice mode 😶

HopelessSapphic

So i was dealing with this problem for a long time to the point of getting banned because people reported me for not loading in fast enough. i figured out that i had my valorant folder (The game files minus Vanguard) not in my SSD. i continued to have the problem until moving the folder and game back into my C drive (My SSD). so i would try that

I hope this helps, i was dealing with this for months and nobody knew how to fix it (if you have exausted all other rudimentary options)

st3llitsa

Does anyone have any idea what I can do since I can't move it to my ssd? It only has 120 GB and there are only like 20 left unused. I'm tired of all the bans for no reason.

YaLubluMitr0

Funny how they cant optimize well their shit game and its loading slower than newest AAA project LOOOL

Krg25

Its so annoying lol, no optimalization, yet forcing low-spec players to upgrade their spec, if they can upgrade it why they stay on their low-spec, you know what i mean right?

Kaushlendra

Hey guys sorry to reopen this thread but yes after 1 yr of playing valorant on same laptop i have facing same problem with 3+ minutes to open the game, agent not getting load after selecting it , 2-3 min to get in compi custom or unrated or any mode , if someone dodges it takes 2-3 min to get back and i get dodge warning

chocochip

Kaushlendra okay after looking at this i can see that the problem is not in my spec since mine is way worse than yours, ive been running 200 fps for 2 years and now i can barely run 100, idk whats happening to my game i can literally run any other game except val

UtkarshSingh

Same thing is happening with me. I only have 100 GB of SSD. Out of which, 14 GB is free. Any other alternative to this? I won't be able to install a 40 GB game in SSD. Earlier this used to work fine. Idk what happened now?

kass
