Update Windows and Graphics Drivers While this may not be a common solution, updating the operating system and graphics drivers is worth trying if none of the aforementioned workarounds yield a positive result.Try closing any third-party applications that run in the background and see if the issue persists. Check if a Third-Party Overlay is Causing the Issue Some players have reported high CPU usage problems in the game when using Discord overlay.This should fix the lags and stutters caused by high CPU usage. Now, download and install a fresh copy of the game from the Riot Games website. Restart the PC after uninstalling the applications. Go to Windows settings > “Apps” > “Installed apps”, then uninstall the game’s executable, Riot Client, and Riot Vanguard. Reinstall the Entire Game If reinstalling Vanguard doesn’t work, you may need to try clean installing the game.Once the update is complete, launch Valorant and check if the issue persists. Internet hiccups can cause the installation process to freeze, leading to further issues. Make sure to stay connected to a stable network connection during the process. Next, launch the game, and the Riot Client should install a fresh Vanguard copy.
