1. Can third-party software cause Valorant to freeze?

Third-party software like antivirus programs or overlays can conflict with Valorant and cause freezing issues.

2. Does the freezing issue occur for all players in Valorant?

Freezing issues in Valorant can be specific to individual players and their setups. Therefore, it doesn't affect all the players.

Some players have reported freezing issues caused by specific bugs, such as the "black screen" bug. These bug issues are usually fixed in patches.

Sometimes, the Valorant freezing issue can result in lost progress or penalties for leaving games early.

Unfortunately, lost progress due to Valorant freezing is often irreversible. It's important to try and prevent these issues before they occur.
