Likely the next bundle going up in 3 days, skin line includes knife/stinger/marshal/guardian/ghost

Also avalanche skin line readded to the game.

That was fast! What do you think? :)

When is the patch dropping? Tomorrow, I presume? I suppose I'll just have to wait for the Twitter post

Throughout the day today. We do the americas region first, so we have the business day to manage issues that might arise, then asia pacific and kr, then EU

Region: EU

Type of Bug: Game fails to load

Description: After update 0.50 (including version 1.0) the game gets infinitely stuck on loading screens. It happens when starting a shooting range or match.

Video of the incident: https://youtu.be/wxVQi4nUJhE

Reproduction rate: 100% of the time. Tried getting in the game for hours and hours with no luck

Steps to reproduce: Try to launch the game and go to the shooting range or start a match.

Expected result: Match/practice starting

Observed result: Getting stuck in infinite loading or after some time being booted back to the main menu.

System Specs: Intel i5 Processor, Windows 7, Nvidia 770, WD Black Hdd, 24 GB RAM.

Another interesting thing to note: It is interesting that the "ESC" key still registers during these infinite loads. It does not do anything, but I can hear the sound after pressing it. The sound that the "ESC" manu makes when opening and closing. Also after the amount of time it should take the game to load I hear the "bzzt" sound that if usually heard when loading into the level. I hear it twice with a delay of about half a minute. If I try to load the new map (ascesion) after some time I start to hear the wind.

So far this has not helped:

• Uninstalled Vanguard

• Reinstalled Valorant

• Updated GPU drivers and later reinstalled GPU drivers

• Added Valorant (game, anticheat and client) to firewall exceptions

• Disabled Windows Firewall

• Set all Valorant executables to "Run as administrator"

• Loging out and loging back in

• Deleting the txt files in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut1mOS63BZg&list=PLOHBcHf9rXWz0YY1NREZHoThrMAQi_IsI&index=2&t=0s

• Closing all non-essential apps (Discord, CPU temp monitors, Logitech, Razer, etc.)

Progress of fixing from RIOT: Trying to resolve the problem

Sorry this is happening to you! You can clearly connect to the platform in Frankfurt but then sounds like you can't connect to the game server we assign you to. We've seen some weird ISP problems in Europe, so let's try and diagnose this from your end and see if we can find something affecting all of the players in your area. I'll DM you for logs and some other things.

Thanks for the video! This video is an excellent example of what we look for in a video about a bug- there's just enough context for before and after the bug occurred, which helps narrow things down. Lovely.

I found a repro for this bug- it looks like it's possible to fire the OP on the server while the client is still readying the OP if you attempt to fire it within a small window while equipping after using Omen ult. This puts the state machine of the gun out of sync on client and server. This causes other weird downstream effects like mentioned in the comments here- stuff like the reload not visually occurring on the client. Just found the bug so no ETA on a fix, but we have eyes on it now. Thanks again for the video!

I have got it installed, same story :(

Have you tried a clean driver install?

(both monitor and graphics card)

Higher priority is one thing, Ascent being 80% of the map pool was just unnecessary imo.

It was 40% actually! But we've dialed it back down so now all the maps are evenly weighted (which was always the plan). This is something we're still experimenting with, so keep letting us know what feels appropriate or not here.

We're looking at it for next patch hopefully :) Some thoughts~

We like the "call to arms" that it generates. It's a strong engagement opportunity for the capturing team and we'd like to retain that in some form. Currently, (as you all called out) it's a bit overbearing and ends up slowing action down a lot because players just sweat it out once their afflicted. Want to find that nice middle ground where the capturing team is empowered, but the defending team still has a fighting chance.

Look for changes soon!

Why have I not recovered free agents yet ? 6days ago you said the fix was going to be deployed asap

Sorry for the lack of update! We did run an update at the time, but it did not solve the root issue and only solved a small portion of the issue. We have a fix planned to deploy with the the patch downtime this week.

AchievingAtaraxia

Yeah, same issue!

Do you have this monitor driver installed? https://www.benq.com/en-us/support/downloads-faq/products/monitor/xl2540/software-driver.html

If not, can you give it a try?

Same, they're taking their sweet time. Waiting for 12 battlepass level rewards and free contract rewards. They patched a few servers on the 5th, it's now the 8th and EU is still yet to get this patch. Hurry up riot

We're on it my friend. We rolled out a fix for Asia Pacific + Korea on Thursday/Friday, but encountered a bug on Friday that stopped us from pushing the fix live to EU/NA/LATAM/BR.

The fix should be live with the next patch (scheduled tomorrow)

AchievingAtaraxia

I can’t test that unfortunately :(

Dang. So you've tried:
-Default setup
-Same setup, one monitor unplugged
-Same setup, new account
-Different PC, same monitor, same account

All of those had the issue, right?
