Valorant Dev Tracker

To follow up on a lot of the comments I'm seeing (sorry there're too many people to respond to individually right now)

1. Yeah it's disappointing that the first cheats appeared so quickly. Ruined my day.

2. Cheaters gonna cheat but we're in this fight for the long haul so even if cheaters find a hole we'll be around to plug it.

3. No magic bullets to stop hacks but we're doing a bunch of things to keep them out of your games. If you hear of one (a magic bullet) let me know, I'm listening :)

4. Fog of War is working! Enemies that are not in line of sight or just around a corner from the player don't have up to date positions. Your hack can draw them on the screen anyway but you're just showing obsolete info. More info about Fog of War coming out next week hopefully.

5. You are all the best judges of how we're doing, so let me (us) know if you're not happy with the state of the game so we know that we have to improve.

   ...

Glad to help!

Oh we're definitely in it for the long haul. I worked on LoL for 6 years and I could easily see myself doing the same for Valorant. Both teams are really strong and dedicated.

I was a McCree main in OW too! I wasn't nearly as good as you though. I was always a few points short of Diamond.

I agree multi-threading could be a huge benefit. We're definitely looking into that as one of our options.

To be clear, if you want to improve your perf, the best bet is not to buy a capture GPU. It's to increase your clock rate of your CPU. You can do this by purchasing something with a higher clock rate or if you're tech savvy (sounds like you are) you might see how much room there is to overclock single core turbo boost on AMD processors.

I gotta put this: Disclaimer: This isn't a Riot official recommendation to overclock your hardware and you do so at your own risk.

i'm crying laughing lmao

Exactly right, if you have 8 cores we're probably hitting ~2 full cores worth of usage. So it would end up being 2/8 or ~25% usage. Maybe more or less depending on what's happening in game.

Getting the game to be more multi-threaded can be a steep technical challenge so we're weighing our options there against just making better usage of the cores that we're already using. It's a fine balance, our end goal is just to get framerate higher. We're not necessarily focused on using 100% of all cores if that makes sense. Either way, rest assured we're working on getting more frames for all.

We're aware of this issue and are investigating. Thanks for the report!

they deployed a fix for this last night. can you see if its still happening?

Thanks for calling this out, fam :)

Even game developers with the most comprehensive player behavior systems aren't NEARLY as effective at shaping the community as the players themselves.

We've all gotta look out for each other <3

I don't know when it'll land, but we're definitely going to add agent-specific keybind sets.

We have a lot of upgrades planned for the crosshair customization. All in due time!

Agree, it's an easy win. We're going to do it.

So annoying. We're working on a fix.

Granted. But players have to win their 1v1 against VALORANT devs.

lol same!

we sees it

It's probably a peering issue between your ISP and our ISP (Riot Direct). I'd recommend submitting a support ticket with details of your location and ISP and our network engineers will look into it.

Sorry to hear that you're not getting the performance you expected from your rig.

At higher specs Valorant is generally CPU bound on the main game thread. The biggest limiter to FPS on higher specs is going to be core clock speed of your CPU. That is to say, a 2.7GHZ 32 core processor will perform worse than a 4.5Ghz 4 core processor in most cases. GPU is only one factor of your performance and having a powerful GPU alone will not necessarily guarantee you a higher framerate.

Closed Beta is definitely still a WIP and we're looking into optimizations for both CPU side for higher specs and GPU side for lower end specs. It's just a balancing act of trying to optimize for a wide variety of specs. You're always going to be limited by one or the other.

In terms of the RiotClient issue, I believe that was fixed in a patch pushed out last night. If you're still having problems can you try rebooting your computer? Maybe something prevented you from getting that ...

Hey fam! We are looking into this. I promise. It's on a list of to-dos that are "quality of life" changes, as opposed to "core to gameplay" changes.
