Guys I think it's finally fixed for me. It's been more than 3 weeks I've been using an external SSD connected to my usb port with valorant installed on it. Don't install the game on pc. Also I bought an external HDD 3 days ago just in case to check if it only works with SSD or HDD as well. And it does work the same with external HDD as well connected via usb cable. I'm not sure whether it will work for more days but for SSD it's been almost a month that's its perfect hitreg and hasn't degraded at all ever since and I top frag 90% of the game but the important thing is it feels like heaven .I never feel behind enemies or getting one tapped instantly. It's cheap compared to other pc parts. So you guys can buy one and easily try it . Comment your reviews if it worked for you guys as well just like for me.
Im gonna try with this, installing only cs2 will tell: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0CGW1FQV4?smi ... gToDp&th=1

Its via USB-C Connection.
As i said here, i bought it and tried now 4 days of trying it has improve A LOT desync (playing via USB-C connection to back of computer). Its like 99% fixed for me if it stills like this.

What SSD were you using before you decided to use the external one? Just curious.
