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 Outdated drivers are often the culprits behind these pesky black screens.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.
