These recommended solutions did not work for me, however, thanks to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRgVP7T1z_I , I was able to get the game to work. As shown in the video, I had to disable the Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer driver and reboot my machine.

Keep in mind, this driver did not show up when using sigverif. Also, my copy of windows 10 and my other device drivers are completely up to date.

Thank you for the report, I'm glad it's working for you again but I'm sorry that it was so much trouble!

You’ll definitely be getting email surveys, and the ones about gameplay content and balance will almost certainly be written by yours truly. Building surveys and analyzing data from them is one of my responsibilities on the team. We’ve sent out a few already, actually!

I don't wanna sound annoying as I have requested this many times but I'll say it anyway. Sorry in advance if you've seen this point repeated before:

Hi, I'm a DevOps Server Software Administrator working mainly remotely. My system runs Arch. I play games in Virtual Machines with mounting a graphic card to that specific Virtual Machine. I currently can't play Valorant due to this. Are there plans for a Linux version of the game or being able to play it in a Virtual Machine? If no can I please have a reason why? Thanks for reading my question.

There are currently no plans to support Linux or to add support for Virtual Machines. We don't support virtual environments for a wide range of security issues. However, that does not mean we have not thought about ways we could.  Some of the best Security Researchers I know and work with prefer to run only Linux, and emulate Windows when needed. So Linux & Wine support is an on going passionate discussion but I am sorry I can't make any commitments at this time.

No need to worry on this one - we'll be involved more frequently than that. Like Trevor said in the video, we don't want to commit to a specific cadence right now because we want to figure out what works best for the game's health and community, but it's incredibly safe to say that we'll be patching much more frequently than 6 months.

We'll be gathering feedback from you all over the course of closed beta (and past that) on topics like this - how balanced you feel various pieces of the game are, how you feel about the current rate of change in the game, etc.

Hey, there! Sorry about that. It's not meant to be p2w. It's a bug which will be fixed in an upcoming patch. :(

But okay, can you explain me how i can restore the default settings please?

(Sorry if my english is not the best)

Hm, there's not an option for it actually.

You could force it by going to this folder "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\ShooterGame\Saved\Config" and deleting the folder with the long string of letters and numbers (you should have just one, or maybe two if someone else plays on your PC). This will force the game to use defaults.

01: On Raze and anti-cheat

Post

The past two weeks have been a whirlwind of activity as we keep stress-testing VALORANT, its server infrastructure, and underlying technology. We’ve learned many, many lessons over this short period of time and want to stay open and transparent in how we keep going. So on that note, we’re spinning up a weekly ‘State of the Closed Beta’ post where we can answer questions and discuss topics we’re seeing raised all around the world.

First, now that the honeymoon is over with some VALORANT players (two weeks!), we’re seeing some real discussion happening on every competitive players’ favorite topic: game balance. In particular? Raze. And how a damage-oriented agent can exist in the tactical shooter space. Here’s VALORANT’s lead game designer, Trevor Romleski, to talk about Raze, how w...

VALORANT Patch Notes 0.47+

Post

Hey, look at us. Patch notes in a closed beta. Who would have thought? This short and sweet patch addresses the giant Raze in the room, cameras that somehow learned how to shoot, and some map updates.

Raze is lethal, no doubt, and we predict savvy players will perform better against her over time. Still, we made some light changes that should bring Raze’s offensive pressure closer to the other agents. We’re also buffing melee to give players in the early rounds a better way to deal with Sage’s Barrier Orb—while still making it a calculated risk. Don’t worry Sage mains, your Slow Orb now slows those bunny hoppers, too.

And we’re booting the phrase “camera-gun” back to English spy films where it belongs.

Here’s what the VALORANT devs have for you in patch notes 0.47+ (the number carries over from our alpha).

Competitive integrity is really important, and we test to make sure that we aren't selling power with our cosmetic content. Sorry this one escape :(

We have a full fix coming soon, but for now, this issue only happens when material quality is set to LOW.

• Type of Bug: Resolution switching

• Description: Attempting to change resolution or switching between Fullscreen, Borderless Window and Windowed mode doesn't change the resolution to the one I want, it just defaults to 1024x768 no matter what I do, the only way I can play the game in a native resolution is if I play in Borderless Window mode... and that's how I've been playing since day one. In the video below the problem can be seen and I've also shown my default resolution, my specs and that my video drivers are up to date.

Windowed fullscreen will only run at your monitor's native resolution.

If you want to use a lower (or higher) resolution than your monitor's native resolution, use Fullscreen, or Windowed.

  • Video / Screenshot: https://gyazo.com/0a155e0a8e923d82b08156b418ace6fc (i play in fullsreen i just put windowed to take the sreenshot)

  • Steps to reproduce: I dont know

  • Expected result: Change resolution our get my streched resoltion back

  • Observed result: Black bars and impossibility to change resolution

  • System specs: gtx 1070 i5 6500

Were you trying to force a stretched resolution? We do not support stretched resolution in VALORANT.

Please try restoring default settings - it doesn't even show a monitor selected in your screenshot, so I think you may have gotten the game into a bad state.

Thanks for the report! We're aware that shotguns are particularly rough on performance for low end PC's, and we're looking into some optimizations for that :-)

Ah, this is a good one. This actually happened to me once as well, so there's a bug reported for it, but I'll add your info. Useful to know that it happened to you just walking in!

Fair enough. In my mind it wasn’t worth the trade off but the volume is far bigger of people playing and not watching tournaments

Making prioritization calls is REALLY hard, and there's a lot that goes into it. It's part art, part science, part black magic, and I'm not going to pretend that we'll always make the right calls. These are just some of the things we have to consider for any of our development choices, so hopefully, over the long term, we get more of them right than wrong, and make a game that folks really enjoy!

Why not just disable the feature entirely for now?

Disabling observer slots would solve the issue, but would stop anyone from running tournaments or in houses with viewers...and ultimately, that feels worse than giving additional information to players.

Turning off the spectator count which provides a lot of tension and excitement as you see the number tick off when you're sitting in a 1 v 2 trying to clutch is a fairly high cost, and I'm not intimately familiar with the tech, so I don't know how feasible it would be to do quickly.

Hopefully the overall value of having a spectator count, and the way it can make your exciting moments of VALORANT that much more exciting offsets the fairly rare use case of additional information in tournament or custom game play. And when the fix is live, it won't be a problem at all!

That is some crazy gaslighting by calling that uncommon in the industry.

The reality here is that negative feedback is not shaping anything... you’re doubling and tripling down.

You're right in that it does come off pretty gaslighty, my apologies. I understand players issues are with us, and it's irrelevant to bring up other companies. you're right.

The point I am trying to make is that we're legitimately constantly assessing our best steps. It's why engagement has been important to us.

Quick off topic question, will there be a mmr reset after release or before competitive playlist goes live? I would assume so but just want to make sure.

Nothing that I have the information to answer concretely right now, sorry. We will have additional communication coming, but I can't confirm or deny anything. Sorry :(

Don’t feel bad at all. I really appreciate all that you guys have done. It honestly is really fun and you guys did a great job. I know that especially with the outbreak, it isn’t the easiest for you guys to be working on the beta and I’m sure with the full release you will have a working solution. I really appreciate the response though, very well written and clear. As a business student, mad respect. Thanks for taking the time out to respond to me.

Thanks for playing our game :)
