Game issues in Valorant can cause freezing or stuttering problems.
Hello everyone, this is my first time posting! I’m facing some issues with Valorant where the game occasionally freezes for about ten seconds before resuming normally. It seems like Discord is running in the background and other players can’t hear me during those pauses, even though they’re fine otherwise. This only happens rarely, but it’s definitely annoying since Valorant is supposed to be smooth. I’ve checked temperatures, system logs, and hardware usage—everything looks normal. My NVIDIA drivers were rolled back to a March release, and I moved the installation to another SSD, but that didn’t fix it. My PC is otherwise working perfectly, fans slow down during stutters, then speed up again as the game unfreezes. I’ve shared all the details so far and would really appreciate any tips or advice!
