Valorant, Riot’s tactical first-person shooter, is officially out of beta for almost three weeks now, but the game still has many issues and bugs that need to be fixed.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

And while Valorant patch 1.01 <\/a>brought a lot of fixes and solutions, unfortunately, it also came with a set of new issues and bugs that are making players’ experience worse.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest problems players are encountering are sudden frame drops. Players are reporting massive frame drops and sound stuttering, even with the best, high-end PCs and they don’t know what’s the issue.<\/p>\n

\nEven the players with high-end PCs are reporting issues with frame drops since (Picture: Riot Games)<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, a Reddit user that goes by the name mackfun seems to have a solution for this issue<\/a>. Apparently, the problem is that after the latest patch, Valorant is now using only one CPU core, and he explains how to fix this.<\/p>\n

You should follow these steps to check or fix the issue:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Launch Valorant, and minimize the game.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Open your Task Manager (by right-clicking the Windows Task Bar and clicking “Task Manager”).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Click “More Details”, and select the “Processes” tab.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Right-click Valorant, and select “Go to details”.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Right-click “VALORANT-WIN64-Shipping.exe”, and select “Set Affinity”.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    A window will pop up showing which CPU threads are currently enabled for Valorant. If they’re all checked, this fix probably doesn’t apply to you. If there’s only a couple checked off and everything else is unchecked? Check the box “<All Processors>”, and click OK<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    Repeat step #5 and 6, but on “VALORANT.exe”<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    According to comments in this Reddit thread, this will indeed fix your problems with frame drops in Valorant. <\/p>\n

    Mackfun says that he is not sure if the issue is due to the new patch 1.01 or a Windows Update, but he explains that you will need to do this again whenever you start playing the game again since the problem is constantly resetting.<\/p>\n

    Hopefully, Riot will fix this annoying issue with the new patch, that should be out next week and it will bring Ranked Play.<\/a><\/p>\n
