Well, I put down a few games like Apex Legends and Valorant so they work fine. But yesterday, I saw something called system.conf on my desktop. I know nothing about it but was curious, and I deleted it with Shift + Delete. Then yesterday I played some games like Valorant and two matches of Apex Legends. This morning, I still see that same file here. When I look at its properties, there is no app to open it. Just opening it in Notepad shows a blank page (nothing). And the file size is zero bytes. What does this file do if it's empty? Should I worry about it? Here are my computer specs: I5 9300H GTX 1650, 16 GB RAM DDR4 at 2666MHz on an Acer Nitro 5 AN517-51.

Sure thing, they say it came out at nine forty-seven yesterda. I think that's pretty close to when I got into Valorant, so maybe this is something from the game itself!

I have the exact same problem with my laptop, which has an NVIDIA GTX 1650 card and an i5-10300h processor. It's a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming, but I keep getting that system.conf file on my desktop whenever Valorant runs. This happens about the same time the game starts.
