Greetings Agents!

New patch, new Bug mega. To avoid bugs report cluttering the subreddit and/or going unnoticed we will get a single Megathread which will be posted today and after every patch so that you guys can report the various issues in one place. This allows Riot to easily keep track of the bugs by providing a central hub and also allows other users to confirm that they might have encountered.

Prerequisites to be noted before reporting a bug


  1. A bug will ideally be accompanied with a screenshot or a video. This provides credibility to your report.
  2. Steps to recreate the bugs should be submitted if possible. This helps Rioters recreate the bug and helps them find the cause behind it.

Format when reporting a bug: When reporting a bug, please provide as much information as you can about your computer.

Region: The region you're playing in when you encountered the bug

Type of Bug: Client Bug, In Game Bug, etc.

Description: Describe what was the bug that occurred.

Video / Screenshot: Insert screenshot (F12 in game) or Video of the bug occurring.

Steps to reproduce: Provide the steps necessary if someone else had to reproduce the bug.

Expected result: What should have been the result when you follow the steps mentioned above.

Observed result: What was the result you obtained when you followed the steps mentioned above?

Reproduction rate: If you try to recreate the bug how successful are you in causing it to occur? (1/10 : Occurs once every 10 tries, 5/10 : Occurs 5 times out of 10, 10/10 : Happens every single time)

System specs: Processor, Video card, Ram, HDD/SSD, everything you can provide, even drivers.


Example Bug:

Region: EU

Type of Bug: Matchmaking

Description: Matchmaking doesn't work properly

• Insert Video / Screenshot of the incident

Reproduction rate: 10/10 (happened 10 out of 10 times)

Steps to reproduce: Try to launch a game

Expected result: Match starting

Observed result: Getting stuck in infinite queue

System Specs: Intel i5 Processor, Windows 7, Nvidia Graphics card (insert model number) etc.

Type of Bug: FPS issues

Description: Since the latest patch I have experienced less than half the fps I was getting in previous patchs (~300 -> 120) In all modes

Video / Screenshot: https://imgur.com/sLi16Os

Steps to reproduce: Play game

Expected result: 300ish fps

Observed result: 120-150 fps

Reproduction rate: 10/10

System specs: Ryzen 5 5600x (OC @ 4.7), MSI RTX 3080 Ventus 3x, Crucial Ballistix 32GB 3600MHz, 1 TB SSD, newest Nvidia drivers.

Hello u/l337_! I'm a QA engineer on the performance side of Valorant. Our team has been investigating the issue today, and I looked up your specific configuration (Ryzen 5 5600X with a 3080 GPU) and did not see a drop on FPS based on 1500 rounds of data. When I looked at configurations with any gpu and the Ryzen 5 5600X or Ryzen 5 5900X however, I can see FPS increased with certain configurations and others decreased (some to the extent you have described). So my next goal is to try and find what is common among all the players since the different configurations that had a decrease in fps are random. Could you provide me with me details on your set-up? You mentioned your CPU is OC at 4.7, does the game run better if that is off? Vanguard logs would also be helpful as they put out a smaller update so we can take a look at yours and see if it might be messing with some settings.

I also wanted to add we've seen performance degradations with certain drivers, is it possible for you to try an older one to see if this still occurs?

With the OC off, I saw similar results. I can send the vanguard logs but am unsure where to find them. I'll try the last driver I had to see if the issue still occurs. I just finished removing everything on my pc related to riot/valorant (AppData, Program files, etc.) incase something was wrong with any of the files and received no difference in performance, when I reinstalled them. Thanks for any help, I appreciate you guys reaching out!

EDIT: as a follow up, I tried installing older drivers but vanguard wouldn't even let me past the main menu. Vanguard said that it couldn't initialize and to try updating my drivers.

You can get the Vanguard logs here:

Press the Windows Key. Search for (or paste) C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard in your Windows Search Bar. There, you’ll see a folder called Logs. Copy and paste the Log folder to your Desktop, and right click the copied folder. From there, click Send to. You’ll then select Compressed (zipped) folder

Thank you! Feel free to send them in a message to me or reply to this comment.
