My Razer Cortex is breaking my valorant

Directhehe · 2022-07-02T14:12:21+00:00

I started using razer cortex because it was improving the game amazingly with the game reaching 500FPS and sometimes exceeding it, my valorant always ran well, but never saw it run so smoothly, until one day my valorant got a black screen and would not start at all, I tried to repair and nothing, when uninstalling, the riot client for some reason was saying that the valorant was downloaded but needed updating, when updating nothing happened, the button had no animation, I tried everything the folder was always empty. When talking to riot support, was told it was the razer cortex that was causing this, when closing the razer cortex, the game downloaded. Always when I start with the razer cortex open the screen is black, well sometimes it works, now I have to play valorant with the cortex closed. I am sure this was not supposed to happen, I am sure this is some bug and wanted to send here to see if there is any resolution or reason, I hope they release some update and have helped people somehow! Notes: The game was optimized on the day - I recently used it in other games (Apex Legends), ran normally and with high FPS.
