Hi,

I got a problem that seems like almost no one else has. Playing Valorant makes my status offline to everyone apart from those playing Valorant. So my friends in the league client can't see me playing Valorant when I have it open.

Currently have a ticket open with support (#47030729) but doesn't seem like they know how to help since it's just generic solutions being suggested and now I've been left in the dark.

Hmmm, that's super interesting. I'll make sure we look into this.

i think that's the only option we have at the moment.

Please tell me that the Cypher camera weapon exploit is fixed? I do not want to go against that anymore.

this should already be fixed in game.

I made this comment based on trailers and without playing the beta. They have less impact than I had thought they would, although to me it makes things a little redundant if it's used for a team chat replacement, because you have the ping system (thank you for this system, very much needed in all games imo), it's not redundant to an extent it should be removed, so maybe a thin layer of overlap is a good word for it. TBH the system is working well, better than expected like I said. When coming from CS, I imagined CS with this feature, it'd destroy the game in a strange way i had thought. But it works well here so far. Thanks for commenting and I hope this feedback is valuable to you.

EDIT: A few moments after I had an after thought, the system doesn't seem to be created for hearing impaired like you mentioned, I understand it may help with their ability to play, but the number of sound queues, from ults, to abilities, to reloading and specific gunfire sounds, possibly more...

Thanks for following up! It's good to hear that you are finding the feature useful but not overbearing or damaging to the core gameplay.

I opened a ticket (#47251670) and commented in the bug thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/fwjskd/valorant_closed_beta_bug_megathread/fnewxhu/

i passed this on to the relevant team. thanks for reporting.

For what reason is it intentional? I understand it in live matches, but generally customs don't happen with anyone other than friends.

customs are used for private competitive matches or tournaments, not just friends or testing around. Like i mentioned above, we are exploring options, but for now, we just aren't done making the game.

its intentional now because were in beta, not done with the game yet

Comment

This is intended for now, we are exploring options to make this more clear in the future for customs. If you don't intend to finish a custom game, we recommend starting it with cheats enabled so you can end it from that menu. Otherwise you need to exit the client and wait 5 min or so.

EDIT: Adding some clarification. By intended, I mean we know this is how customs currently function, and we are/were ok dealing with this behavior for right now. We know it's not optimal, we know it's painful for friends wanting to test stuff out, and we will have a better solution in place before we ship. We just haven't gotten that work done yet, but be patient, we will.

Comment

Thanks for the kind words. We made this game for you, and much like the jelly of the month club, we intend for it to be the gift that keeps on giving all year round.

why not have a "apply own skin" option like apex legends does? so u get it with your friend's skin but u can apply your own skin if u dont like that one.

also i heard buying and dropping guns hurts your econ rating while just fulfulling requests doesn't. if that is true then it needs to be fixed.

It's a nice little feature, and something we can definitely add someday.

The PayPal option was bugged for some people I guess that’s why they removed it this patch and will introduce it soon again when it’s working as intended.

This is exactly it. We’re working with PayPal to get a fix now.

I think it will be the same system like with rp, what means they will refund all your radianite points + 20% more, a lil gift for a "lil investors" xd

The +20% bonus only applies to VALORANT points you buy and not to Radianite I’m afraid. There will be plenty of opportunity to earn more though

(tldr being wiped like most content)

Their response times are a little slower than normal right now. We appreciate the patience.

Yeah it's a bug. We've seen some weird stuff like this in the past. I'll have someone take a look. Let me know if you figure out a way to do it consistently, just don't tell the rest of the internet :)

but can you please clarify in short, crisp and clear english why on earth it is necessary to have this thing run all the time? There's a reason why (almost) noone else has a anti cheat system like this.

At the risk of making you dismiss me as a "lost customer", this is the primary reason why I won't be playing this game (even though I'd love to try it!).

If the driver component loads as the game starts the computer's environment could already be in a compromised state. If a cheat was launched before the game was launched it could have already made changes to the system that would make it easy to bypass our cheat detection scans.

The driver component exists so that when the rest of the anti-cheat system starts up we can have some guarantee that the results it returns are correct and that cheats have not already gained the permissions they need to tamper with the game.

(In regards to your other comment, the game will refuse to initialize if the Vanguard driver wasn't started at boot. So you can remove Vanguard whenever you like but until it's reinstalled the game won't work)
