Why does my PC freeze when I open Valorant?
Hey! So, it sounds like your PC might be having a tough time with Valorant's requirements. First up, check if your PC meets the minimum system requirements for Valorant. If it's all good there, try updating your graphics drivers. Old drivers sometimes don't gel well with new games. Also, keep an eye on your PC's temperature; Valorant can be quite demanding, and overheating might cause freezes.
