Valorant Dev Tracker

Interesting, we'll take a look. Those are on two different network paths, so not super surprising that they might differ, but that's a pretty big spread.

Currently, the game servers are shard specific. We are working on making shard transfers better, but what game server are blend are you looking to use?

To be completely honest stuff like this is still getting figured out and I’m not qualified to speak to it since I’m not in deep on production schedule work. In general though, we’re working to get you all maps sooner rather than later, and we want to avoid that “empty episode” scenario as much as we can. I wish I could give more details here but I’m just not the right person to speak to it!

A map release doesn’t necessarily mean that there won’t be an agent release in that act, too. We were initially planning on launching icebox with another agent at the Episode 2 drop, sooo...

ah yes the next phase of the avalanche gun skin reveal campaign - the devs loved the guns' origin story so much they built a map

Can I also just say that game dev (in a pandemic) takes time but as Joe and Anna have said, we build this game with you, and sometimes that means changing plans made pre-launch to meet evolving needs. We're always listening, so please be patient. Or as all the corporations say, we're in this together in unprecedented historical times so now is the time to buy a burger and side of curly fries avalanche gun skiiiiiiin babyyyyyy.

This map was originally going to come out in Episode 2 as planned, but many of us on the project felt it was worth buckling down hard and getting it finished to release it early. My role in that process as a researcher was understanding how players felt about it, and when it was clear to us how badly y’all wanted a fifth map, it was easy for us to get this schedule upheaval prioritized.

Riot’s not perfect - we’ll continue to make mistakes, but at the very least I hope you all can trust that we genuinely do care and we do listen.

When did those issues start? are they recent?

It helps if you include your location and which ISP you're using in these types of posts (makes it actionable in case there is something we can do to influence it). Can you post a traceroute to 192.207.0.1 ?

The Georgia servers were working fine the whole time. Your ISP finally finished connecting directly to them instead of going via Texas to get there.
