One question, What were the updates changing?, I dont see any mini patch notes so is it just bug fixes?
It had a couple of targeted bug fixes. We don't think those changes should have impacted performance, but we're looking into it.

The Home screen will include patch notes and other news in a near-future update.
They probably meant the battlepass and an agent contract, since the battlepass is de facto a contract. Battlepass is the second contract.
Correct.
If you are talking about showing players what they get in terms of XP beforehand - yeah, it's a good idea, but I wasn't even thinking about it.
My suggestion is to give at least some XP for custom matches. So that players, who focus on tournaments/pugs/scrims (thus spend most of their time playing custom games), have a chance to earn rewards too. XP might come at slower rates and there should probably be some requirements like a minimum length of a match (so that people don't use customs to farm rewards), but it's still better than nothing.
Oh! This reminds me to add a question in my survey about player satisfaction with HOW they acquire XP (not just the rate of it). Thank you so much for the thoughtful addition!
They will never hide it.
Oh we're gonna hide it.
Working on it!
I love all this community interaction. The devs are doing this the right way.
thanks so much fam :) We're trying!
Can you change your GameUserSettings file in a couple of places for me? There are two to check: C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\VALORANT\Saved\Config\WindowsClient - GameUserSettings and C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\VALORANT\Saved\Config(some long string of letters and numbers)
With the game closed, go to both of those files, and change these two lines:
ResolutionSizeX=1920
ResolutionSizeY=1080
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeX=1920
LastUserConfirmedResolutionSizeY=1080
Your current one is X= 30000000 and Y=0
I have no clue how you ended up with your settings in that state, but it seems suspicious.
Both are native 1920x1080, they are both set to 1920x1080 in Nvidia control panel.
Since release I have never been able to swap to fullscreen, it just shows a massively stretched screen if i try that I cannot see anything with as seen in the video.
Here's a screenshot of my GameUserSettings when I take it off of read only and launch Valorant.
I have to put the GameUserSettings file on read only if I want to launch the game in fullscreen windowed, but even if I change the resolution to 1920x1080 in the config file and launch it on read only the resolution STILL switches to that awful stretched one.
I don't believe I am using DSR but i'm not sure how I would check that.

Hey there! Just wanted to point out that I included an edit in there :)
EDIT: I should be clear here: When I say a "top percentage of players," I don't mean some crazy high, 98th percentile thing. If we find that NOT ENOUGH folks are completing it, that's a problem, too!
Thanks for responding. Seeing devs actively engaging with the community is awesome!
<3 you engage with us every day. It's the least we can do.
This should really get fixed. The soundfile is indeed connected to the "congrats you won the round" part of most people's brain at this point and it should absolutely not play when there is another player alive on the enemy team!
/u/aeneia Could you look into this? :3
I'll for sure bring it up to the team!
I have a question. Will the bp rewards be on the shop for money in the future? Its not clear atleast for me
I'm not sure about that!
I'll play like 25h a month ish. How long does the battle pass last or does it last forever. I need to know this cause I dont know if I'll be able to get to lvl 9 (my goal for the vandal dot exe skin)
Unfortunately, I'm not totally sure if you'll be able to get it. It depends on mission completions and things like that. Sorry I can't be of more help :(
Speaking of answers we should know, we should probably be able to see xp requirements of future tiers of contracts and the bp. Would have dodged a lot of controversy.
This is a great point - I think general clarity is a pain point for a lot of folks right now :(
What about those who play pugs/scrims? Unfortunately, custom games give no experience. To avoid people idling for rewards there can be a simple list of requirements: cheats off, minimum duration of a match - X (e.g., 20) minutes etc.
Oh! Being clearer on the XP requirements is a really good idea. I'll chat with my team and see if we can make that available somewhere (if it isn't already). Thanks for the heads up!
