Ever since this patch, many people have noticed their fps tank by a lot and for me especially the fps dropped from 120fps to 12fps. My specs are 960m 4GB and 6700hq with 8GB 2133mhz ram, so these are not the greatest specs, but it does get the job done most of the time.

I had stuttering even before this patch and disabling HPET brought up my fps from 11-12 fps to 100fps and got rid of stuttering, I just can't understand how and why does it affect Valorant so much.

I would recommend doing this fix for CPUs with at least 4 cores and a bit newer pcs as it can cause some problems with very old motherboards.

Here's the fix:

Run CMD as administrator

type in

bcdedit /deletevalue useplatformclock

bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes

Then go to device manager > system devices and disable High precision event timer

Restart the PC

If you want to turn on HPET again just do this:

Open CMD as administrator

type in

bcdedit /set useplatformclock true

bcdedit /set disabledynamictick no

then go to device manager > system devices > enable High precision event timer.

Restart the PC

Note: I am no tech guru and I am only posting the solution which worked for me.

Also, this doesn't break rule 14.

Maybe some experts can post a comment about why this is a bad or good idea, but personally I do not see anything wrong with this solution
