Ah, the infamous Valorant black screen. Had this issue myself! First thing, try running the game as an administrator. Right-click on the Valorant shortcut and select 'Run as administrator'. If that doesn't do the trick, check if your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers are often the culprits behind these pesky black screens. Lastly, try disabling your background applications, especially those that have overlay features. Sometimes, they interfere with the game's launch process.
Updating your Windows might also help. Sometimes, Valorant's black screen issue is a result of compatibility problems with your operating system. So, make sure your Windows is up to date!
Honestly, I just switched to a different game. Valorant's great and all, but if I can't even get past the startup without issues, it's not worth my time. Plenty of fish in the sea, or in this case, games on the PC.
