How to play Valorant without restarting your PC
Make sure your graphics drivers and the Riot Vanguard anti-cheat software are up to date. Outdated drivers often cause games like Valorant to act up, making it seem like you need to restart your PC when you actually just need an update.

Try closing the Valorant game fully and then ending all Riot Games related processes in the Task Manager. After you've done that, relaunch the game. Sometimes, this simple step can fix whatever hiccup your system had without needing a full restart.
Honestly, just reboot your PC. It's the cleanest fix and ensures any lingering issues get resolved before they mess up your Valorant session. Plus, a fresh start is always nice. ?
