[2020] Valorant closed beta bug megathread patch 0.49

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.

Patch notes 0.49+

Prerequisites to be noted before reporting a bug

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

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

One more thing, like so many reddit threads, posting on this is a total hassle. Too much formatting requirements, too much moderator red tape. Just let people report there bugs for god sakes, I almost didn't even report this once I saw the mod red tape associated with posting. There's no need for other than for mods to feel like they actually matter. Its a hinderance. Thanks.

Hey fiddle_funk, thanks for the report. As one of the QA folks on VALORANT, the formatting is actually super helpful for us. There are currently 259 different posts in this thread. The patch has been live about 10 hours in EU, and 3 hours in NA. The closed beta launch patch reached 4000 comments.

Warning, napkin math with lots of assumptions for illustration purposes forthcoming: With the formatting in place, a bug will usually take me, or another member of the QA about a minute to parse, understand, and identify next steps. Without that formatting, it's probably closer to 2 minutes (i used a google timer to have somewhat data informed math here). The difference between those times just using the initial thread is about 4000 minutes, which is 66 hours, or the equivalent of just a bit more than 1.5 standard 40 hour work weeks. If redditors spend a little extra time, and our development team gets an extra 1.5 work weeks to fix bugs and work on features, it helps us give you the experience you deserve!

So thank you for the report, we'll be investigating something as gamebreaking like this closely, and thanks for helping us make our game the best experience we can. We've gotten and fixed hundreds of bugs and exploits from threads and reports like this. So thanks :)
