Okay great! I’m just worried because I do live in a rural area and I understand as a business my area will NEVER be a priority. I appreciate the response. Also, am I okay using a vpn? I don’t want to get flagged for account sharing or something since I’m always switching IP’s it’s just either this or I just play at a massive disadvantage
As far as I know there's nothing wrong with using a VPN.
Thank you u/Koalifier for your shoutout 😊 makes me happy
When I read your comment my reaction was a mixture of happiness that you found it, and utter confusion that this could cause the issue
Thank you for your work and transparency within the community! Its very refreshing having devs who are so open and i'm glad to hear it's more than likely going to stay that way.
Thanks! We try to be as open about our progress (and struggles) as we can. Most often when we aren't responding it's just because we're busy, exhausted, or just didn't see a particular issue or comment.
We're all humans too! Also as a bonus right now, we're all working in our living rooms/kitchen/bathrooms, so it's a bit harder than normal...
We’re working on a fix for this. Fun fact - it is really, really hard to time this correctly in testing.
I chuckled reading this.
“When I press SHIFT or CTRL, my game suddenly quits, but only if I have this specific printer” - FIXED
Special shoutout to /u/Minnifutzi for finding and identifying the root incompatibility causing this issue. We pushed out a fix for this last week.
This is an hilarious bug. How you not gonna divulge what printer it was and why a freaking printer would cause this?
I answered above with some more details. I didn't put the specific printer because I don't want to call them out (I also don't know if this possibly affected other printers too)
Could you also take a look at insane upload rate on high FPS that many users have reported? People with potato internet are having major problems playing the game without lag spikes and capping FPS is just a bandaid
We are working on a fix for this
Is the bug with floating weapons known to you? I've seen it a few times already.
Yes! This one is particularly confusing. We're working on a fix.
I get rather frequent crashes but due to there being no crash screen I can't figure out why or if a crash report is being sent, is there a way to check?
Crash reports are automatically collected - no need to push any buttons!
What about the Cyper camera bug? I got killed multiple times. Fun fact, when a sheriff on Cyper camera, it has no recoil neither.
This was fixed today
There's still the issue where UI icons double, like showing 2 knives, 2 pistols and 2 guns on the right side on alt tab... I think I also had it appear when changing the resolution while in game.
We've got a ticket tracking this issue, thanks!
Have you guys looked into high ping for certain geological areas yet? I live in upstate NY and can’t play unless I use a VPN. I contacted riot support they told me to contact my isp. My isp said it’s on riots end. I can play league with 30 ping just fine but get 90 on Valorant. With a vpn I can get down to 20 even. Hoping this will be fixed before the release of ranked. I can send more info if anyone from riot needs it.
We're actively working on getting more server pops up, but, as you can imagine, it's a bit slower than usual due to the global pandemic. Hopefully we'll get you sorted out soon. We do have data that shows us where players are having worse-than-expected ping, and we're actively working to improve it!
Please do somewthing with the anticheat, as it runs all day long on my pc causing frame drops etc
If you're willing to help us investigate, I've got some troubleshooting steps that you can run through with me. Hit me up in a dm if you'd like to help!
I found a bug where if u refund the reaver set with unlocked operator chroma and then rebuy the reaver set but this time not unlocking the lvl 5 chroma skin, I can still pick and play with that skin becuz I had it selected already before refunding
Looking into it, thanks!
Hi,
I got a problem that seems like almost no one else has. Playing Valorant makes my status offline to everyone apart from those playing Valorant. So my friends in the league client can't see me playing Valorant when I have it open.
Currently have a ticket open with support (#47030729) but doesn't seem like they know how to help since it's just generic solutions being suggested and now I've been left in the dark.
Hmmm, that's super interesting. I'll make sure we look into this.
Thanks for the work!
Have you seen anything about people not being able to use team text chat or am I the only one with that problem?
We have had intermittent outages with chat due to service load, so maybe that's what you're having?
My FPS has been fine in every game except this one I'm in right now. Idk what map I'm on, but there is a smoke texture in the sky, but it's surrounded in a black box - as if the transparency isn't working.
It wasn't like this earlier and it's causing terrible FPS. I'm going to restart my computer after this game to see if the issue is fixed
That sounds like a bug I've seen before on really low-spec machines. If you're on a low spec machine, it could just be that your PC is struggling to keep up with the VFX.
If you're on a high spec machine, you should check to see if the game is using your integrated GPU instead of your dedicated GPU.
I'm glad you're focusing on fixing the major issues ;)
OT: I'm curious, what was Volcanos job on valorant?
Volcano is a map designer!
Also, are abilities that go above the map intentional? There are certain cases where Sova's recon bolt can travel very far distances above the map and above all the structures
It is intentional that there is no skybox for abilities.
Thank you for responding and showing the progress addressing these issues.
I've been plagued with the "anticheat error" kicks in every game I've played and honestly had seen no official response to it until now.
Initially I thought it was an issue with the vgc service crashing. I set it to automatic and restarted the process and such and was able to play a single game the whole way through before the issue began again.
Absolutely lost as to what I need to do to fix it but glad you guys have noted this.
Some players have fixed this issue by:
1. Updating windows
2. Updating antivirus software
3. Making an exception for VALORANT in their antivirus/firewall
Give that a try and let me know if it helps! We're still trying to figure out the exact cause of this.
Thanks! I'm not sure if you guys mentioned it before but would there be a possibility of adding a range/spell indicator for agent's abilities in the future, similar to LoL's indicator?
I have no idea! Sorry, I don't work on character design at all :(
I'm not sure it's that. I've had this since I started playing (first day of beta). When I send a message in team chat, nothing happens. But whispers, party chat, and all chat work perfectly fine for me.
Really strange... Can you submit a ticket to player support with your issue? They will be better equipped to troubleshoot and help you out.
