Valorant INSANE stuttering

Hello everyone,

My problem is that I have an insane stuttering(3 second freeze every 10 seconds) 60-70 seconds after the splash screen and also this stutter persist even after closing the game until I do a full reboot!!

So since I already spent countless hours on this problem I already know that it should be something related to VANGUARD anti cheat. Basically I figured it out because I tried to launch the game without fTPM (that it's required by vanguard) and the game seamlessy worked without any stutter. Only problem of course is that since you are not supposed to play the game without it eventually after 2-3 minutes it kicks you out. Also I noticed that the same thing happen if I disable fast boot (also required by vanguard), so the game works fine without stutter until it kicks you out.

this are my pc specs
-cpu 7800x3d
-gpu rtx 4060
-motherboard b650 eagle ax
-ram 32gb ddr5
-ssd 990 pro
-psu 700w
-os windows 11 pro

My system is 100% stable under every condition no overclock is applied.

so far i tried: bios update, driver update of every kind, clean boot, clean windows installation (so clean I disabled windows update and dowloaded only the game and nothing else), disabling anti viruses, firewall. My temperature are well below tj max.

I already tried to contact riot games support and I was very disappointed to the point where it was ridiculous. Asking my grandma for help would have been more productive.



Jokes a part I would really appreciate any kind of help.

Try to set trefi at 65535.
My ram out of the box was not stable and had the same.
Timespy result where diffrent every reboot and i solved it this way.
And not sure for this game, it could also help to set your pagefile to 64000 mb.
Could you give some more details of your ram?.

This is my ram kit: https://www.amazon.it/CORSAIR-VENGE...ywords=corsair+vengeance+32gb+ddr5&qid=1727109234&sprefix=corsaur,aps,84&sr=8-6

I will try what you told me to, but I know that the issue persist even at stock speed also I ran multiple testmem5 with anta777 absolut new preset and no error was ever shown.

Also since the game runs fine without vanguard I doubt it is something related to system performance in general. I would guess is some sort of conflict with vanguard but I can't figure out what since I also tried to run it with a completely clean windows installation.

I appreciate your help thank you.

Looking for a solution but nothing matches your problem.
Did you monitor your cpu when you get kicked and the problem starts?.
Think if its not a common problem it should be a hardware problem.
Also the log could tell you whats wrong and maybe why you get kicked.

Found this on redit with something that matches your problem.
Open Event Viewer -> System Log and check if there is Realtek pcie gbe family controller hardware io error. If so, update driver from here. Realtek
Found it here.

Moral of the story: don't play Valorant
Or get 12900k

🙄

I am on AMD, and if I have to keep Fptm on, I rather not play this game.
Fptm completely screwed up my boot after CPU change, and I could no longer boot into my system, or it would kick me out. I had to reinstall my Windows, and I also disabled Fptm before I did so.

Oh, and now it says that my PC is not compatible for Windows 11, ain't that lovely. I am on Windows 10 Pro, because Windows 11 doesn't love AMD or Intel for that matter, stutters.
