## Use Riot’s game entrance

The official VALORANT website is the destination for the native game and its publisher information. Browser shooter projects are separate experiences and should not be presented as VALORANT itself.

## Keep performance and startup requirements separate

Riot’s specifications page lists its Windows and hardware requirements. It also states that Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 and UEFI Secure Boot.

If your problem is a startup or security-requirement message, begin with Riot’s instructions for that exact message. Do not treat it as an FPS issue or disable required security features to follow an optimization tip.

## Compare one condition at a time

Record the scene, display settings, and visible frame-rate behavior before applying changes. Keep the same resolution and test route for your comparison.

A smoother local test is not proof that every competitive match will behave identically. Use the same measurement method, record what changed, and keep a route back to your original settings.

### Can I play the native game in this directory?

No. Use the publisher or official store entrance for installation and play.
