AchievingAtaraxia

I found another person on reddit having the same problem.

I think this is something you need to pass on to the devs if possible so it can be fixed in the next patch!

EDIT: Another person

And another

AAAAAND ANOTHER ONE

Seems like a big problem for a lot of people.

This is a real headscratcher.

Can you send me a dxdiag of your machine (direct message because it can contain a bit of personal info)? Just type "dxdiag" in the windows searchbar, run that application, and then click "save all information" and send me that file.

(BTW I am "the devs" so don't worry, it's been passed on :-) )

UNOFFICIALLY: these tears are juicy

I woke up to the same issue and I haven't had a single issue with Vanguard or Valorant since beta release on 7th April. Uninstalling both Vanguard and Valorant doesn't make a difference, Vanguard won't initiate.

Edit: I fixed this by disabling everything but vgc in services (with exclude Microsoft services ticked) and rebooted system. It's odd since I have never had an issue with Vanguard until this morning despite playing several hours a day since start of beta.

I don't know if it'll help your specific issue but we have a Vanguard update coming soon (possibly today, otherwise likely Monday) with bug fixes.

I've had problems with your fog of war not loading the entity properly or something where I have hit, seen markers, blood and fired for at least a second plus before being shot back and upon dying get a 0 hit register half the time. Is fog of war setup to even out the load for people who have slower machines? It felt as if i get more kills when i drop down to 60fps limit instead of the 250ish i can get in 1440p. Just a curiousity.

Frame rate shouldn't be an issue but network conditions can be (ping/packet loss). I'll look into it though just in case.

Also, I just checked the file and now it is changing the X/Y resolution sizes in the GameUserSettings file, it is changing them to this

I tried changing the resolution to 1920x1080 in the file again but it did nothing.

What is weird is that I have actually disabled the full-screen scaling option in NVIDIA control panel and I even tried disabling the GPU and it still does the same thing.

Can you try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4PMq5xBpT4

-disable DPI scaling

You might need to try it on your VAL shortcut, as well as on the game EXE

Update: My friend sent me his GameUserSettings file and it still did the exact same thing, stretched to an unrealistic resolution.

It seems like it's a bug in the game itself, I hope it gets fixed next patch.

EDIT: What do I need to change in the GameUserSettings file to force the game to open fullscreen windowed?

I don't recall exactly, but I believe it should be

"FullscreenWindowMode=2"

And when is Brazil?

Same as NA. bad news is now it looks like NA/LATAM/Brazil will be Monday before it's fixed. Sorry friend.

Encountering the same problem in SEA. 40-50 Ping when playing solo but 100-180 when in a party. We all live in the same city but have different ISPs.

The enemy team usually has drastically lower average ping than our party as well.

Which ISPs are the people you're playing with on?

We all live in the same country, but different cities. Would that have made a difference?

Only if there's weird routing from one of the internet service providers the player is using and how they connect to our servers.

What ISP is the higher ping one using? I can chat with our riot direct team to see if there's anything in our realm of control we can adjust.

Yeah we not last! Take this NA!

Didnt think about applying the change when the server are quieter, u mean like during a single day or theres some day of the week particularly less active than the others? Of course i didnt think it was favoritism, even tho in my expierence on LoL i felt like we had much more server related problems than NA, but for one im not in NA so i cant really know beside what NA redditors tells us, and even if true its probably related to something i cant know, like how each server is deal with bla bla bla.

Btw big thanks for the reply, any spoiler for when EU is gonna be at its quietest so i can unlock my 2nd agent? ;)

Edit: i kist read the other replies on the thread, im hopeful for the next 24 hours but dont overwork too hard guys, i could wait even 48h if needed!

So it'll be applied at the quietest moment AFTER we confirm the fix is good (not waiting for a particular day). So if everything goes as expected today, we should be able to apply it so that tomorrow morning things are working for you.

I’m on EUW. I’m getting new unlocks fine now, but stuff from before still hasn’t unlocked for me. Hopefully soon!

EU up next!

UniqueUsermane

Standing on what riot said on twitter some servers had this fixed today, while if you are in EU you have to wait some days.

Not complaining cause im used to it but its not a surprise eu comes last in a riot game.

Well, not in this situation. For the retroactive fix NA is last, EU is up next. This isn't anything to do with favouritism, we need to apply the change when the server is at it's quietest.

also I come from EU myself :)

EU is up next, NA last (this is because we need to apply the change when the server is at it's quietest time). We're hoping within in the next 24 hours and the team is working hard to achieve this.

Just tested. Once again 100% reproducible by being tabbed out while loading into the match.

Edit: While I'm at it. Bound key for team push to talk gets unbound on relaunch and crosshair color keeps resetting to white.

Heyo! Yes I saw your reply. We're looking further into it, but we won't have a fix for the next patch.

AchievingAtaraxia

I reinstalled Valorant onto a different drive, deleted all traces of Valorant from the PC before I did and it still does the same thing :/

Can you make sure that your graphics drivers are up to date?

If your monitor has drivers (uncommon), can you also check that your monitor's drivers are up to date?

Can you try unplugging one of your monitors and seeing if it works?

Does it go into this stretched fullscreen on both of your monitors?

Are the players you're playing with located in the same country? When we matchmake we take ping of all parties into account and try to get the closest average server connection.

Custom games may default to the party leader's closest server.

I have a new game mode idea...

I am not; originally I had unlocked the second agent unlock but it wouldn’t let me use it (tuesday). After restarting however it was fixed, but I didn’t read previous threads so I was unaware about the situation.

Alright cool! Glad to hear it got resolved for you!
