I've noticed after the recent patch that my computer keeps resetting Valorant to only use 1 of 4 CPU cores. This causes obvious FPS drops and even sound suttering. Not sure if anyone else if having this issue, but I'm running Windows 10 64bit with an i7 7700k.
To check or fix the issue:
1) Launch Valorant, and minimize the game
2) Open your Task Manager (by right clicking the Windows Task Bar and clicking "Task Manager")
3) Click "More details", and select the "Processes" tab
4) Right click Valorant, and select "Go to details"
5) Right click "VALORANT-WIN64-Shipping.exe", and select "Set Affinity"
6) 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 "", and click OK
7) Repeat step #5 and 6, but on "VALORANT.exe"
Once again, I'm not positive the constant resetting is due to the new patch or a Windows Update (as I did both around the same time), but the problem keeps persisting even without computer restarts. It seems like if I stop playing Valorant for a few minutes, and relaunch, the affinity resets again.
Sorry if this isn't posted in the right place, I couldn't find a non-beta bug thread.
