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 Outdated or underpowered hardware may contribute to slow loading times and graphical issues.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 Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause various issues, including slow loading times and graphical glitches.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.

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)

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

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

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.

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

Valorant Taking Too Long to Load

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

when the game loading to open or to join a game the task manager says that valorant does not respond after a while valorant respond again(i lose for sure 1-3 rounds wtf)
can u help ?

SidTurtle

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

puggichu

I had the same issue, i found that if u reinstall Valorant into ur SSD instead of ur HDD it loads infinitely faster. It seems val just rlly doesn't like hard drives lol.

Hope this helps!

WeimingSoong

This Gayloran company have budget to make overpriced skins and decided to ignore this shit.

MysticV

Its honestly crazy that i can run eden ring fine on my ssd but valorant takes 20 minutes to load into a death match 😂

kyoml001

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

LanceSantos

yea i having same problem ive try to fix it and my valorant and riot are in the same drive and my graphic card is updated
ive try many things still not working

Straight

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

makerbynight

Friend of mine had their main drive too full to install an update, so we moved the install to their secondary disk (hard drive) and this started happening. Replacing the secondary disk with a sata SSD appears to have resolved it. Seems that Valorant doesn't just load into ram at the start, since using an SSD significanly improved pre-game character loading, and game laod-in time (back to about what it was while on the primary SSD to begin with).

I believe it’s the cosmetics that have to pre-load… becoming a big issue as they add more cosmetics and maps to the game. I have had this problem on the load for almost 2 years.. online suggestions and such really give u bad feedback as it’s the usual “restart/reinstall/checkscan/etc…”. Bro need to understand it’s nothing to do with all that.

For my situation I’ve discovered today… and I’ll make a tutorial for those using nordvpn.. was my issue. Yes you can uninstall nordvpn and it won’t take as long to load (I mean it loads forever.. even sometimes forces me to end task and relaunch the game in which it still doesn’t respond). But I have attempted to force close vpn or turn it off.. but already vpn has changed my ip.. again I will post a video on YouTube sometime this week.. hopefully can help players running vpn to avoid this problem.

arslanarslan Did you really just chatgpt a response LMAO

I love how Riot games is too concerned with making gay ass agents, champs and bundles instead of fixing their games… like as if smurfs werent an issue, now u gotta get ssd to play the game? Iv been playing val for years on a worse pc, now that i get a better pc, i need ssd to play? Like everytime i get into comp, my game takes years to load in and when it finally does, my team remakes, or if someone else dodges in agent select, my game doesnt load out fast enough and i end up dodging the second map, which gives me a penalty… Nice job riot, uv went from bad to worse.

ssnipxrpug

hey sorry for a super late reply but ive been having this problem for a while and if u dont want to go through the pain of getting a new pc or the SSD stuff i have some solutions that fs helped me a lot. Now, i can load into the first-second round of games so if im lucky my team wont remake if you just tell them "my computer sucks i might not load into the first round" so first when u open valorant go into task manager, details, scroll down to the valorant.exe and valorant-win64.exe ur gna want to right click and change priority to below normal. Then, go to services and find vgc. make sure this is running. if its stopped right click and click start. then when valorant is on the home screen heres the slightly annoying part. you gotta load up like 3-4 custom games. you can exit out of them as soon as u load but u still gotta see them all through. you have to hover an agent until the agent animation pops up. the more customs u load the faster thw animation will appear. It takes me 2-3 until its comfortably loading tbe animation as soon as i hover an agent. then, you can load up a unrated or competitive and have fun. (make sure to tell ur team that u might not load in so u have a higher chance of them not remaking) if you're lucky you might even load into buy phase. also if u have a problem when other ppl dodge and u get stuck on the agent select, dodging the second game that u automatically queue into sometimes it might load u into it if you do this enough or have valorant running for that long. it also helps to be in a duo or party so if someone dodges they can dequeue you guys. hope this helped!

ssnipxrpug

ssnipxrpug also u might get afk penalties every once in a while but at the max theyre 3-10 minutes -- you can always load custom games while you wait. this might not work 100% of the time since people will remake and some might dodge but its a better solution than getting a new computer if u cant atm

ssnipxrpug

ssnipxrpug forgot the most important part you have to set all your fps limit settings to off and change the max fps always to 20 before u load into a game. you can change this back to whatever after u load in

Hi good afternoon my king, so I have some guesses, it could be that your Valorant is installed on the HD where Valorant is very bad, slow, etc. The right thing to do is to have an SSD and the other could be that the PC is a little bad, etc.

WindowFixer

@st3llitsa#p10876 Hi, I also used a 120GB SSD in the past. You can allocate space for Valorant if you're not using too many tools or programs on your C drive. It's doable!

Now, a bit about me: I'm a small content creator. On my 128GB SSD, I managed to use Valorant, Adobe, and Camtasia. Sometimes I also used CapCut. All these tools create a lot of cache, so you need to clear that from time to time. Overall, you can manage it easily.

If you need further assistance, you can join me on Discord or my YouTube channel, Windows Fixer.

Hey guys, I know you are all crazy about Valorant! I'm a small content creator on YouTube, and my channel is Windows Fixer. I’m not asking you to subscribe or anything—just giving you a quick intro.

Based on my research, because I always look for solutions for my viewers, Valorant sometimes takes forever to load. Here are the four main reasons:

Top Solution: SSD
If you have an SSD, switch or move your game to it. This will significantly improve your game loading time. You’ll get into the queue before the match starts, 100% confirmed.

💫Requirements: Your PC should at least meet the minimum requirements. Here’s a quick suggestion from my experience. My brother has an i3 2nd gen PC, which is very low-end, but he still gets into the game just as fast as I do on my Ryzen 5 3600 setup.

✌️His PC specs:

2GB NVIDIA GPU
i3 2nd gen
8GB RAM
128GB SSD

💫My specs:

Ryzen 5 3600
GTX 1060 6GB
16GB RAM
500GB SSD
Game and OS on Different Drives
Some people reported that their game is on an SSD, but they're still facing slow loading times. This can happen if your OS is on an HDD and the game is on an SSD. About 30% of people might get decent performance this way if their HDD is new and performs well. However, for better and more stable performance, move both your OS and game to the SSD. Mixing an OS on an HDD and a game on an SSD can cause stuttering.
Insufficient RAM
Having less RAM can also cause slow loading times, but this is a less common reason compared to the first two.
Games on Main Drive
Some people have reported faster loading times after moving their games to the main drive (the primary drive where Windows is installed). This likely works because their SSDs are new and perform well.

hopefully this will clear ur concept if u need further asistance u can reach me out on my Youtube Channel or discord:
