This has made playing Valorant near impossible for me, due to the input lag, FPS drops and stuttering full screen windowed brings with it.

A fix soon would be appreciated so I can play again.

What is your monitor setup? You said two monitors - what is their native resolution? What resolution are they set to in Windows/Nvidia/AMD control? Can you add screenshots of your display settings?

Are you never able to swap to fullscreen, or are you required to swap around to different window resolutions as shown in the video first?

Are you using DSR?

VALORANT Patch Notes 1.0

Hey! Thank you for your response, I truly appreciate it, you have no idea!

I was able to reproduce it 100% of the time during the last few patches released in the beta by being tabbed out or not having the game focused when the game would load into a match!

Ah gotcha, that makes a lot of sense. I will go ahead and test this once the game is live in NA and I'll let you know!

Again thank you so much.

I've heard some reports that this is still happening - have you been able to reproduce it with your method?

Is this fixed?? It was absolutely terrible to have to play an entire ranked game with no HUD, no site names or call outs on the map, and no abilities showing. Needing to sacrifice a few rounds in order to restart your game a bunch of times to resolve it.

I really hope this has been fixed. Anyone know anything about this? Maybe a riot employee can comment?

Heyo! We attempted a fix, but we aren't sure whether or not it will work.

Unfortunately we were unable to reproduce this issue, even with significant effort, so our fix is only speculative. We didn't want to post a note saying "we might have fixed this" when we aren't really sure. Hit me up if you keep seeing the issue - we'll be looking out to see if we need to attempt another speculative fix (or if anyone gets a consistent repro, that would be incredible).

Thanks so much for updating! I'm not sure why our game is the only one where this happens, I'll have to dig into that.

Felt my aim has been off lately. Turns out my bullets don't even fly straight

Thanks for the post! There's a bug this patch where your weapon will be inaccurate after round start until you move.

Obviously, this doesn't really have any impact to your accuracy in-round, unless you were to literally stay in your exact spawn location for the entire round, but I can see how it looks very bad when shown in your example.

We're still planning on fixing this issue, but I don't think we'll hotfix it out since it doesn't have any tangible impact to your ability to play.

In Nvidia control center, the high perf one is selected as default (I even set it explicitly for Valorant). There is no heat issue and even high performance games (COD MW for example) work fine.

You could try manually disabling the integrated GPU and see what happens (there's some risk that you'll have no display device and you'll end up in a bad state if you do this)

I myself have an MSI laptop with an RTX 2070, 16 GB RAM and an i7-9750 CPU - I am playing at 40-50 FPS with constant freezes, while the CPU is loaded a 10% and the GPU is at ~5%. Do you think for some reason the wrong GPU could be involved (just a wild thought)?

In your case, it very much sounds like you're using the integrated GPU instead of the onboard. Usually when this happens it's either:
-A setting you need to change in your GPU software
-Heat issues causing your laptop to downclock parts to stay below certain heat threshholds

valorant FPS drops when you look at the enemy. It legit worked for multiple rounds. It's accurate. His teammate used it too later. This is insane

Haha yeah, no worries. Always good to try to escalate issues. Now there's a few news articles about it that are missing this context :(

Such is life

Koal I haven't been able to get an answer from the latam people, but at the moment there is some heavy packet loss flactuation in the latam server for people in Chile. Around 0 to 50% every single second and seems to be an issue with pretty much every ISP

No idea who I can give this info to, but maybe you can pass it so they can fix it asap. Server was working fine before they did the routing fix for Argentina, so the issue seems to come somewhere from there

Thanks for the report! We've got some really great data where we track packet loss / latency to our servers and try to track which spots are having trouble. It's going to take a bit for us to get all of the routes ironed out to start, so I think this is likely expected.

We do already have all the data we need on the back-end, so no need to worry about reporting it.

You can see a clip of the end of it here: https://clips.twitch.tv/AuspiciousDreamySangMikeHogu

Or watch from the start where he talks about it here:

I'm posting this because people are starting to panic. Just a reminder, it's important to keep in mind that you shouldn't believe everything without concrete evidence.

Me reading the title of this post and watching the clip preparing a long explanation:

holy crap I think that's the highest non-bugged FPS/frametime I've seen

Okay, that's unfortunate. Between that and the freezes it may very well just be a faulty build. Very appreciative of your time and help though! I'll try contacting the laptop's manufacturer again with the added information & troubleshooting you've explained so far. I really didn't expect this level of communication at all though, so really thank you :)

Happy to help! My first gaming laptop I got in college, and it ended up being a lemon :(

I feel your pain, and I hope it gets resolved!

It looks like the maxing out graph from your example, however this is after I switched the prefered graphics processor from the RTX to the CPU, averaging around 130ish. Slightly higher than the GPU, which might be a hardware problem? Running off the CPU creates a severe dip however when running something else like Discord, so it doesn't work to well as a regular option.

Interesting. Yeah, if you're getting better performance when you prefer the CPU, then there's likely something going wrong when trying to use your GPU. I'm not really sure what else to suggest, think you'll have to tinker with it, but it sounds like a local issue for you :-(

Hmm, never knew about that. I'll definitely give that a go after class, thank you. If that is the case though, how do I set the game to properly utilize the CPU cores?

(In NVIDIA's Control Panel, the Power management is set to "maximum performance," and "CUDA - GPUs" set to "All", however this may be very unrelated to what you had said about the 1-core CPU usage,=? Is another Windows reinstall the only way to change the way to CPU cores are utilized?)

The CPU core usage is something that's determined by each piece of software. Our game is pretty heavy on 1 core and easier on the others (currently).

The windows reinstall is sort of a catch all to deal with odd perf issues that don't have a clear root cause.

Thanks for the suggestion. However, my computer seems to not max out any resources while playing the game. The computer has been having issues ever since the very first day I bought it (only 9 months ago), and has been sent into Dell two times and reinstalled a total of three. It'd be both impractical during the college quarter and unlikely to change anything December's reinstall did, so I was hoping there was any lesser-known troubleshooting suggestion you had in mind for this issue in performance in Valorant.

Keep in mind that task manager is showing you your total usage.

Try downloading process explorer, run the game with that active, and take a look at VALORANT process usage. I expect what you'll see is that the game is using 90% of one core of your CPU.

Is there any more options coming soon to tweak down to increase my performance?

Yes. The one that I mentioned about bullet holes / hit impacts is coming.

We're thinking about more things to maintain smoother FPS/frametime for all specs when you're in-combat.

Not sure. I'd try running with process monitor active to see whether your CPU is getting its cores fully utilized. I talked to one player that had similar issues and fixed it with a windows reinstall. A bit drastic, but maybe do some testing first and see how it goes.

I know this might a very commonly asked question but still would like to ask. I know the game is meant to be optimized for a wide variety of CPU and GPUs. But both these are barely putting in work for me. My GPU(2080ti) is barely sitting at 10% usage while my CPU(7700k) only pulls about 30-40% of work. Isn't it possible for the better systems to get more frames out of their hardware?

We're working on it! Your GPU is basically doing the max work that it can - we just aren't that demanding on GPU.

Your CPU is likely at 90% util, but only on ONE core. We're thinking about how we can spread the load across more cores, but it's a non-trivial amount of work.
