Sorry for bad formatting or grammar, I don't usually write stuff like this.
since neon got removed from valorant, every time i launched the game it would freeze up and then crash my whole pc. i thought nothing of it, just that it was a bad update and my pc didn't agree with it. unfortunately i'm stubborn so i wanted to fix it myself. i didn't really tamper with much aside from just running simple drive checks and memory checks. i ran val. it crashed. opened up my pc again and bam. my gpu drivers were disabled. i thought nothing of it again, just download new drivers. everything seemed to work, i was watching YouTube, texting friends etc etc. my mates asked to play barotrauma so we did and suddenly i had heavy screen tear. it didn't go away when i deleted and redownloaded it so i hopped to overwatch to see if it was just BT and i for some reason had 270 latency. i looked around the internet and followed some random guys advice, i deleted my drivers with DDU, took out my gpu., ran my pc on int graphics, wiped adrenalin. redownloaded drivers, etc etc etc. thought everything was fixed only for none of the issues to have been solved. i genuinely dont know what to do. i think i may have missed one of the corrupted drivers but i have no idea how to check that as this is a completely new issue to me. im contemplating just factory resetting my pc and just going through the anguish of redownloading stuff. also no i dont have a back up im not the brightest
edit: in regards to barotrauma. i learned that swapping it onto my second monitor completely removes all issues with it. my second monitor uses hdmi and my main uses display port if that means anything
Edit2: i solved it on my own, it was a bunch of small separate issues. valorant still has the issue of crashing my pc but barotrauma is fixed and im going to assume that overwatch is just being broken. if anyone does figure out the solution for the other two games id be more than glad to hear it but yeah, barotrauma works and that was my main worry
