We've got a lot of work in flight on the dev team right now to improve performance - 8 engineers working on a collection of different tasks - we hope to see some improvements come out in patch soon!

Thanks for hanging with us :)

Thank you u/Ksycht for sharing the video!

The timer logic is one of the oldest pieces of code in the game (4+ years even); it was alive back in prototype stages, and we never quite got around to giving it the love it deserves.

We have a ticket tracking the work on our dev team, and will hopefully have it running smooth as butter soon. Stay tuned!

Been hearing about a lot of people having similar problems. It's absurd.

As in people having this exact same problem where they see a lot of processes running called RiotClientServices.exe and RiotClientCrashHandler.exe? If so please tell them to contact me so I can get their logs and investigate. If I don't respond, please also tell them to contact player support since they will collect logs from them and then forward them to our department. I haven't seen any other reports besides this thread. Any help is appreciated.

On first glance, this seems like it could be a bug with our login screen.

I have reached out to you for your logs. I haven't seen this one before, any help you can provide us triaging this issue would be greatly appreciated.

What'd you expect? There's going to be kind and constructive feedback, and you're going to receive angry, unnecessary feedback. That's just the way it goes. Don't cry about it.

I for one have been experiencing my share of issues with vanguard and I generally don't support softwares that just starts on pc boot, however I'm hoping it will improve in time.

I'm not crying about it but I also don't accept lack of empathy as a standard of the internet. This is me establishing boundaries and communicating boundaries: don't be an asshole please, let's have a constructive conversation :)

Koal I haven't been able to get an answer from the latam people, but at the moment there is some heavy packet loss flactuation in the latam server for people in Chile. Around 0 to 50% every single second and seems to be an issue with pretty much every ISP

No idea who I can give this info to, but maybe you can pass it so they can fix it asap. Server was working fine before they did the routing fix for Argentina, so the issue seems to come somewhere from there

Thanks for the report! We've got some really great data where we track packet loss / latency to our servers and try to track which spots are having trouble. It's going to take a bit for us to get all of the routes ironed out to start, so I think this is likely expected.

We do already have all the data we need on the back-end, so no need to worry about reporting it.

This is why voicing our opinion was important, Riot listened even if they will still resort to driver bans in some cases.

Glad they didn't go "if you don't like it, uninstall it" like some redditors around here

okay yes but stop sending our anti-cheat lead emails that start with "listen up you f*ck"

Yeah that’s definitely not solving my issue as I’ve rebooted 7 times with updates and other things and no luck. I can do the WASD trick to avoid it but then error 43 hits me.

If you're getting error 43, it's a networking error that's related to our platform, I believe. The platform team is aware of this one and working on a fix.

Looking at the enemy team DOES NOT cause FPS lag - Dafran states that it was just a joke for content and then tests the theory he joked about - It doesn't actually work.

You can see a clip of the end of it here: https://clips.twitch.tv/AuspiciousDreamySangMikeHogu

Or watch from the start where he talks about it here:

I'm posting this because people are starting to panic. Just a reminder, it's important to keep in mind that you shouldn't believe everything without concrete evidence.

Me reading the title of this post and watching the clip preparing a long explanation:

Anyone getting vanguard not initialized? I'm assuming it's got something to do with this release?

Update: Riot has fixed this issue today 5/8 for a majority of people. Thanks to the team for sorting it out.

For most people, a reboot seems to fix this for them. Make sure you select "Restart" (not Shutdown). If this doesn't resolve your issue, your best course of action would be to make a player support ticket since it's the easiest way to get 1:1 support: http://support-valorant.riotgames.com/

I'm not sure this is related to Vanguard, but please create a support ticket if you keep running into problems: http://support-valorant.riotgames.com/

As of the ranked patch, I've been having game closures non stop. No errors, no hard crash. The game just closes. I've sent in a ticket and made a post on here with no response... Help?

I don't think this is related to Vanguard, but I'll let the team know. Feel free to poke your support ticket if you're still running into issues.

Comment

Thanks for your patience as we work out all of these kinks during the closed beta. Keep on delivering this invaluable feedback to us!

Windows is now rightfully seeing Valorant/Vanguard as malware

This error does not necessarily imply software is malware, I believe it is related to executable signing. You can run into this warning when a company renews their code signing certificate for example. In our case I don't believe we have renewed the certificate recently (if I remember correctly I renewed it at the beginning of this year) so my theory is that it is potentially related to some corruption (for example some parts of the executable being missing) that occurs when you download the installer from one of the companies we use for CDN purposes. The corruption could potentially cause the signature to not look right and this warning to pop up? Also the publisher says unknown and not Riot Games like I would expect which also reinforces that theory.

Another thing that may further reinforce that theory is that the thread starter said that they are never able to get past the error which to me means that they clicked run away and due to the corruption it crashes. If this ...

Is there any chance that in the future we'll be able to move regions/shards freely? I'm in the US and can't play with my brothers in Mexico.

Right now it feels like we'll never be able to play Valorant together, which pretty much ruins the game for me.

We don't have any plans to allow cross-region matchmaking right now. I'm not ruling it out forever, but don't expect it any time soon. I'm sorry that ruins the game for you! D:

Hi! I am from Panama (next to Colombia). I get around 150 ping every game. I filled out a form that is circulating where I had to "tracert" using my IP address in the command prompt. Anyway, Panama is a very central country for everyone with, what I would think decent infrastructure. However, I dont quite get how I get 150ms with a server in Mexico and 70ms in LoL in a server in Miami. In terms of internet service, I have one of if not the best in the country. I hope this gets resolved soon as the LAN player base is, from what I have seen not little at all. In the games I play, around 60% of the players have 150ms or even higher depending on internet provider. The other 40% include the players from Mexico and other players who have 100+ ping as well. I used to play CSGO and now look forward to transition to Valorant as I play LoL and I am a fan of Riot Games. But, I fear the overrall nature of the game combined with the ping CAN and WILL force us to not play the game period because...

Appreciate you giving me your perspective! Know that we aren't happy with 100+ pings, we're looking at options and will be experimenting with a few things in the coming weeks.

I don't believe this has to do with UAC. I believe this warning is typically related to executable signing.

Comment

This could be related to some installer corruption we have been seeing on and off over the past week or so. If you redownload the installer from the website and try again does it work? What region are you playing from (BR, KR, LATAM, NA, EU)?
