Valorant crashing when you alt-tab? Just run it in borderless window mode, easy fix! Fullscreen is overrated anyway.

Oh, the age-old tale of alt-tabbing leading to game crashes, a classic! Valorant, like many PC games, can sometimes have issues when you alt-tab, especially if you're running it in fullscreen mode. This happens because switching out of the game messes with the graphics or display settings. A simple fix can be to play in windowed or borderless full-screen mode. This way, your game doesn't throw a tantrum every time you want to check your Discord notifications.

I alt-tab all the time in Valorant and never had it crash. Maybe check your PC specs? Sounds like a personal problem.
