Please tell me that the Cypher camera weapon exploit is fixed? I do not want to go against that anymore.

Hi,

I got a problem that seems like almost no one else has. Playing Valorant makes my status offline to everyone apart from those playing Valorant. So my friends in the league client can't see me playing Valorant when I have it open.

Currently have a ticket open with support (#47030729) but doesn't seem like they know how to help since it's just generic solutions being suggested and now I've been left in the dark.

Thanks for the work!

Have you seen anything about people not being able to use team text chat or am I the only one with that problem?

My FPS has been fine in every game except this one I'm in right now. Idk what map I'm on, but there is a smoke texture in the sky, but it's surrounded in a black box - as if the transparency isn't working.

It wasn't like this earlier and it's causing terrible FPS. I'm going to restart my computer after this game to see if the issue is fixed

I'm glad you're focusing on fixing the major issues ;)

OT: I'm curious, what was Volcanos job on valorant?

Originally posted by RicardM7431

Also, are abilities that go above the map intentional? There are certain cases where Sova's recon bolt can travel very far distances above the map and above all the structures

Thank you for responding and showing the progress addressing these issues.

I've been plagued with the "anticheat error" kicks in every game I've played and honestly had seen no official response to it until now.

Initially I thought it was an issue with the vgc service crashing. I set it to automatic and restarted the process and such and was able to play a single game the whole way through before the issue began again.

Absolutely lost as to what I need to do to fix it but glad you guys have noted this.

Originally posted by RicardM7431

Thanks! I'm not sure if you guys mentioned it before but would there be a possibility of adding a range/spell indicator for agent's abilities in the future, similar to LoL's indicator?

Originally posted by L__O__G

I'm not sure it's that. I've had this since I started playing (first day of beta). When I send a message in team chat, nothing happens. But whispers, party chat, and all chat work perfectly fine for me.

Was hoping he'd have more input on weapon handling/spray patterns etc as 1.6 was some of the best gunplay in a competitive fp and Valorant is off.

Just want to use this as an opportunity to re-up our bug megathread.

Contrary to popular belief, these megathreads aren't used to hide away the bugs, but rather to make sure that the issues we all face as players are seen and (hopefully) resolved by the devs.

have tried updating/disabling my antivirus which did not work.

Have just updated windows and will try again, will then try playing with firewall settings. Will feed back once I've tried all these options, thank you!

Originally posted by IkeKap

Maybe that was intended (but bad behavior) from the driver. Like it recognized that a certain process was hindering its behavior so it would close the game because it wanted to try again after the "troublesome process" was eliminated?

Originally posted by zandm7

That's awesome, thank you so much for letting us know!

Out of curiosity, do you have any idea when we could expect those fixes to go in?

Also, do you know if these window-mode improvements will also cover the issue of certain high-res/ultrawide fullscreen resolutions not functioning properly?

For example, I filed ticket #46890006 with support reporting that on my 5120x1440 display, the game launches in fullscreen at 3840x1080. Trying to change the resolution to any 1440p resolution (2560x1440, 3440x1440, or my native res of 5120x1440) just reverts back to 3840x1080 even after hitting Apply > Confirm.

Thanks <3

What is defined as an exploit? Camera gun sure 100% not intended but what about edge of map sage boosts like that Long A haven to see heaven and corner of stairs? Is that defined as an exploit?

Originally posted by Vonspacker

Well that didn't take long lol.

Neither fix has worked for me.

After updating I was able to stay in a game until the last round of the first half.

After this I turned off firewalls and restarted the client and was able to stay in for 2 rounds before the issue happened again.

I find that generally once i've been kicked once over this error it recurrs far sooner each time.

For some reason when I started a game this afternoon my mini map disappeared. I finished the match and restarted my game and it came back again.

Anyone had one where you have to aim your cursor to the right to click on what you actually want to click on, not in game, just the interface like when in agent select or viewing weapons or contracts etc.

Originally posted by Der_Klatscher

If you use the ability paranoia with Omen, it often happens that the opponent is not blinded even though you hit him 100%

Originally posted by gogetsomesleepneo

What? Nonsense! How can it be possible? I've been spamming your discord feedback thread since 7th first hour of release. How am I not on the list

I've found 30+ people around with the same issue. I had a script sending mouse input to the game to confirm my theory. There really is a mouse inptut lag issue

And everyone who report about this input issue have another weird quirk:

When you look completely down or up at character camera limits, your left and right mouse input is choppy, instead of being smooth the camera does miss the input and jump suddenly

Everyone with this little quirk also experience noticeable and constant mouse input lag overall that ruins all experience. I've reached level 5 of beta challenge few days ago and it was unbearable pain to play all this time. The moment I change to any other game it feels like heaven, everything is so responsive

Tell me you saw this, I'm tired of bumping this issue twice everyday j_j

I can't see the circle around my agent on the map, which indicates footsteps. I know it should only work when I'm running and it doesn't work most of the times.

Originally posted by Graffioh

Are you working on AMD cpu LOW fps/stutters?

Originally posted by Vonspacker

I'm using AVG, I have tried running the game with this off however to the same result.

I'm happy to try sending them to your account on twitter or something you're verified on if that's ok with you? Simply on the paranoid principle of not sending any logs or anything to a non-verified Riot account.

Originally posted by Smok3dSalmon

Are you aware of anyone hearing ghost footsteps or audio in general being odd?

I was in bind-bathrooms during a 1v1 and heard footsteps through the wall to my left but the only opponent left was directly in front of me. Here is a diagram

It was a 1vs1 vs an Omen, so it's possible that he teleported but I did not hear any teleport. I'll watch the demo tonight if that's possible and make a video of it. My whole team heard them too.

Does the anti-cheat software ban you from taking screenshots?

I'm using Lightshot or an equivalent program that replaces the default print screen functionality on my computer. When I press print screen, my game force closes. I believe I got an anticheat message too. I was trying to get a screenshot of an arrow lineup for Sova.

I found a bug where if u refund the reaver set with unlocked operator chroma and then rebuy the reaver set but this time not unlocking the lvl 5 chroma skin, I can still pick and play with that skin becuz I had it selected already before refunding

Thank you u/Koalifier for your shoutout 😊 makes me happy

Thank you for your work and transparency within the community! Its very refreshing having devs who are so open and i'm glad to hear it's more than likely going to stay that way.

We’re working on a fix for this. Fun fact - it is really, really hard to time this correctly in testing.

​I chuckled reading this.

“When I press SHIFT or CTRL, my game suddenly quits, but only if I have this specific printer” - FIXED

Special shoutout to /u/Minnifutzi for finding and identifying the root incompatibility causing this issue. We pushed out a fix for this last week.

This is an hilarious bug. How you not gonna divulge what printer it was and why a freaking printer would cause this?

Could you also take a look at insane upload rate on high FPS that many users have reported? People with potato internet are having major problems playing the game without lag spikes and capping FPS is just a bandaid

Originally posted by PACHNAR

Is the bug with floating weapons known to you? I've seen it a few times already.

Originally posted by Mattzcool1

I get rather frequent crashes but due to there being no crash screen I can't figure out why or if a crash report is being sent, is there a way to check?

Originally posted by turk-fx

What about the Cyper camera bug? I got killed multiple times. Fun fact, when a sheriff on Cyper camera, it has no recoil neither.

Originally posted by Catminos

There's still the issue where UI icons double, like showing 2 knives, 2 pistols and 2 guns on the right side on alt tab... I think I also had it appear when changing the resolution while in game.

Originally posted by Aniv1a

Have you guys looked into high ping for certain geological areas yet? I live in upstate NY and can’t play unless I use a VPN. I contacted riot support they told me to contact my isp. My isp said it’s on riots end. I can play league with 30 ping just fine but get 90 on Valorant. With a vpn I can get down to 20 even. Hoping this will be fixed before the release of ranked. I can send more info if anyone from riot needs it.

Originally posted by AssassinLordOmega

Please do somewthing with the anticheat, as it runs all day long on my pc causing frame drops etc

Originally posted by Aniv1a

Okay great! I’m just worried because I do live in a rural area and I understand as a business my area will NEVER be a priority. I appreciate the response. Also, am I okay using a vpn? I don’t want to get flagged for account sharing or something since I’m always switching IP’s it’s just either this or I just play at a massive disadvantage

Originally posted by Escolyte

is it intended to be this tiny and if so can we get a visual fx update that reflects the tiny hitbox?

Originally posted by inslang

The in-game FPS limiter is inconsistent. The frametimes are kinda bad and the capped framerate is not really stable at the value you set. Probably the in-game FPS counter gets updated every something like 1000 milliseconds or more so you can't see the microstutters and the displayed framerate value is steady. But with my monitor's native FPS counter or with riva tuner set to a lower delay I can notice the inconsistencies. I don't want to be forced to use external limiters like RTSS. Can you take a look? Thank you :)

Yay seems fixed for me today!

One small thing I noticed is that before it used to say 'Online - Valorant' or something but now it only says 'Online'.

Originally posted by Matt792

I really need your help u/Koalifier

I got a key and restarted my pc, but then when I try and get in it's says that I don't have access to the game

hopefully, you can help me.

Originally posted by skullyOW

Hello u/Koalifier
There are some matches where my ping is 40 and some other matches where the ping is like 65, is it my problem or you already know this issue?

Also, when i join a match with 65 ping i noticed that when i hit an enemy in the head (or viceversa) in the recap the system show that i hit the enemy in the chest instead the head,me and more people noticed this.

Btw thank you so much for your post, hope you will solve all this issues.

Originally posted by inslang

I benchmarked the game a few times Koalifier. The in-game FPS counter seems to be polling less frequently than other FPS counters - even if i use the graph - hiding many microstutters, at least in my case. Got an i9-9900k and RTX 2080 with a 240hz g-sync monitor. I sent you a PM with a video as well. Every other game works flawlessly so the problem is not on my end for sure.

My question is how are you guys gonna deal with the people that wanna make cheats and “devalue” vanguard so you guys lessen the security. Ik youve been very open about vanguard and most of us appreciate it, theres just a small group that are easily manipulated by these videos “vanguards gonna bitcoin mine off your system”

Originally posted by man_of_war007

when i play in fullscreen borderless my FPS stays constant with my capped framerate, however when I am in fullscreen it drops to the teens and jumps/dips sporadically. I have an AMD ryzen 3600. Is there anything I can do or is this just a known bug that needs to be addressed?

Originally posted by Man16

O thats weird. I could see my friends playing it previously.

Originally posted by man_of_war007

Totally understandable. Like I said I’m still able to play in borderless with no issue so that’s what I’ll keep doing. To elaborate l, I’ve tried uninstalling then reinstalling vanguard. That seemed to help for a couple matches. I’ve also ended all unnecessary overlays such as rain mater, discord, hardware monitors and even icue and that doesn’t seem to affect it either. I know you all are getting bombarded with these requests and bugs and I’m sure the pandemic isn’t helping. Hope to see the bug found and fixed. Best wishes!

I read there's a bug when paying with PayPal. I don't even get the PayPal option. Was it temporarily disabled perhaps or what is going on? I get the PayPal option in league just fine (and used it plenty).
