Someone help me solve this retarded issue

Whenever i play Valorant and load into a map, for like the first 5-10 minutes I am on straight 600 ping and my game often crashes. Then after that it is perfectly fine for the rest of the game. Is this only happening to me?

And when its lagging, my whole pc lags like discord drops to 1 red bar

do you use wifi or ethernet?

you probably have some background process running

Verify game files and maybe try go back to an old driver

You need to close the start-up apps
Open RUN then type msconfig then search for start-up apps and close all of them

if none of this works just reset your pc. You can also try to rollback updates on your windows if you updated your windows recently. Check if you updated any drivers too.

I had the same issue in October-November of last year... I've just Unistall and Install the game again and it works ¯_(ツ)_/¯

lmao why are u getting downfragged

Install and uninstall usually work
