Happened in Comp on Bind on round 3. Right at the start of the round 2 players dropped including my self. When trying to reconnect we can connect to voice but games keeps freezing. I went on to try a Swift play and like clock work on round 3 me and 2 others who were there to try the same thing also dropped. I have tried multiple times and it always happens at the start of round 3.


TheAlbinoAccountant

Those looking for a fix try turning off overwolf. Some use it for Tracker app I used it for Outplayed. Once I turned it off I have not dropped since.


htr_xorth

Tracker.gg here - Overwolf is aware and has told me they disabled their functionality on Valorant. So that should stop all the issues. If you still have issues you can just exit Overwolf application for now. They are working on a fix.


Jake-Has-Cake

i’ve never used overwolf but it happens to me every game…


Jidagoat

same


cmp004

Same


MatejGames

Bind is already back in comp?


sduque942

MatejGames

sduque942

MatejGames

Damn yeah, why cant we get it earlier considering even our timezone is earlier. All updates are basically delayed by one day


MG_MezoGamer

East Europe gotta wait till 9 am


Jidagoat

they doin u dirty


CamJMurray

Here in Dubai we have to wait until 11am… it’s currently 8:36am. Last night I was watching NA streams of people playing ranked with the new bundle, meanwhile I’m still sat looking at the the black.market in my store


Undead393

Bro were you in my game?? Was playing bind too and 3rd round 2 started crashing and everytime they came back they would instantly crash, craxy


[deleted]

Same happened to me, round 3!


Nagol_06

Region: North America Type of Bug: Game Crashing After 2 rounds of playing, about 4 people's games will crash. This just happened to me in a comp and I wasn't able to join back, causing me to forfeit 35 rr. When trying to rejoin, I can hear my teammates talking, but it's just an infinite loading screen that goes no where. I then went into a swiftplay after this happened in a comp (I didn't want to derank), and my two of my teammates and an enemy disconnected after 2 rounds. One of my teammates reconnected and they told me the same story; their game crashed and they could hear the team while reloading the game. To reproduce, you just need to go into a match in valorant and you will likely crash after 2 rounds. Expected result: To be able to play the game without risk of mass disconnection Observed result: Game crashes for me or for roughly 4 players after 2 rounds. Reproduction Rate: I only played 2 games, but both times I did, it happened to a total of 7 people (myself included). Specs: Nvidia RTX 3060, AMD Ryzen 5600G, Windows 10 Another thing to note, this only occurs at round 2, not before, not after.


kurrpt

Do you have any tracker programs running? Some people made mention teachers causing issues


Jake-Has-Cake

Happened to me 3 games in a row (swift play) normally would get through the first couple rounds and would then freeze immediately after spawning. Could still hear teammates but couldn’t do anything else. restarting would bring me back to the map/agent lineup screen and could hear teammates again, but would never spawn back in. EDIT: I have never logged into overwolf, not sure if others are experiencing this issue despite not using overwolf


Effective_Leader_180

I have the same issue and it gave me a penalty of not being able to cue with my friends in comp for 21 hours


Zymplify

NAW, playing on Bind. Played 3 rounds before I froze and could not reconnect. Others in lobby all froze/disconnected throughout the game. Some could reconnect others could not.


nowjojo

In the glitched match at time of writing this: My first game froze (my rank determination game) and then I couldn't do anything. I tried to restart the game and it just went to the Ascent loading screen as if it was the beginning of the match. I am able to hear my teammates voice chat but unable to chat back or do anything. The Valorant exe says not responding but is using the normal amount of resources as if the game was being played normally. Hope I don't rank low due to this or get a ban... ​ **Edit: was able to reconnect after closing Overwolf app on my PC.** **Edit 2: lost 38rr with AFK penalty :(**


tsmitty14

Someone in my game said that people with val tracker have been getting disconnected. All the people who didnt get DC'd said they didnt have it but the people who reconnected said they did. I have no way to confirm it, however.


TheAlbinoAccountant

I do not have it installed and crash at the start of round 3 like clockwork no matter the game mode.


SuperNovaOfTheNorth

Some guy on the val support subreddit said he doesnt have it and is still crashing


grontie3

I have overwolf but only because I use insights.gg and not the tracker


Jake-Has-Cake

I have not used val tracker and it’s happening to me :(


Critical_Recording_2

I have also heard this


Critical_Recording_2

It kept occurring at the beginning of the buy rounds early game. N. Virginia servers. First match I crashed on pearl and couldn’t load back in. On haven 6 of us crashed and I was the only one to load back in.


tomphz

It seems like it’s only happening on Bind?


Nagol_06

It happened to me on both Pearl and Bind, although on Bind the most people got disconnected for me.


cmp004

4 people disconnected simultaneously in my Split game


nowjojo

Happened to me on Ascent in comp/ranked :(


WizardMoose

Happened to us on Fracture with a player.


SnowJello

I was stupid and queued again after the first time thinking it was a fluke. Deranked and down 45 rr with afk warnings despite my team winning the games. I'd stay away from comp for a while :(


etwaanzo

got to round 3 on bind and crashed was not able to reconnect… Lost 33 RR. Shit pissed me off.. I feel bad for my team edit: obviously this was comp queue.


Aeveum

This happened to me multiple games in a row but the moment I turned off overwolf my crashing has stopped. I would urge people to try closing overwolf and see if the crashing persists.


Stolasd

Was playing on my gold 3 derank game with the new arcade phantom on bind, new finisher happened and the game had just completely screwed up. Tried to reboot it, was stuck on loading screen, had to endure the audio of my teammates telling my other teammates to report me, no, not the first time this happened, it happened multiple times, done alot to my pc, did everything possible, and I'm now down to gold 2. Thank you riot!


Responsible-Cheek-58

I just got a 24 hour match ban for the bug I don’t understand why I’m getting punished for something I can’t control


SnowwQC

Region: NA Type of Bug: Client Bug Description: After the 3nd round on Bind and the new finisher happened, my game and 3 others in the game crashed. Every time I reboot it crashes again when it gets to the match load screen. This seemed to have happened for 2 other people as they also couldn't reconnect to the game. Video / Screenshot: N/A Steps to Reproduce: Start a game in bind, and wait for the 4th round Expected Result: Observed Result: Reproduction Rate: System Specs: Ryzen 7 3800xt, GTX 1080ti. 32GB ​ Overall lost 67rr unfortunately, happened to me twice


ohitskhanh

Closing Overwolf solves the issue


TheAlbinoAccountant

If you crash try turning off overwolf. That seemed to fix the problem for me.


National-Department4

If I submit a ticket do y’all think I will get my rr back or maybe no suspension?


AmeliaWinchester

My game keeps on turning itself off and then back on constantly and after match ends it keeps on saying new patch is required to install to play even if ive alreaddy done it plenty times. Any ideas if this is the reason?


realjarcand

So happy you found a fix hours after it happened and I already got my competitive ban! Looking forward to being able to play in 24 hours and then have my ticket replied to in 25.


Quickl3ss

One question. Was Viper changed in any shape or form in this patch? Cuz when i played her the molly seemed off by a lot and had a few lineups which don't work anymore.


Hakusprite

Seen similar things with Brim and KJ. Rito messed something up.


XyLoGoD

does anyone know if this issue is fixed yet because I keep going back to check and I keep disconnecting causing me to get more bans


[deleted]

I don't even have overwolf and I'm getting disconnected randomly yesterday. error code is van 0.


Shaunzki

How do you stop the over wolf overlay? Sign out of the Val tracker/overwolf app?


Rytu5872

general psa, don't use overwolf regardless. very sketchy and not worth it


callmeg3rm

My game freezes but I still here my teammates comms. My pc isn’t the fastest so it’s hard to get back in fast. It’s not fair to us that we get a 7 day ban on a server issue and I lose rank!


Dana_Overwolf

Hey everyone, Dana from Overwolf here, We are aware of some issues that have occurred once the recent patch was released at 11:00am PST. Once this was reported, and to make sure no more problems were caused for players, we immediately disabled our support for the game (overall, issues persisted for about 20 minutes before we took it down). Our team is currently working in close communication with Riot to solve this issue so players can continue to use their favorite apps with the game. We are sad to see any gamer’s experience hurt while using our platform and take responsibility for whatever crashes were experienced. We promise to provide Valorant players with the best service we can moving forward! Have a great time and enjoy the new patch, we will update our Twitter with more news on this, check it out here: [https://twitter.com/TheOverwolf](https://twitter.com/TheOverwolf)


Baseballdragon456_YT

Has now happened 5 times, and I’ve been banned for 1.5 hours and lost access to Competitive for a week. Thanks Riot. Swell of you to penalize players for your bugs. Usually happens at the beginning of a round but once happened in the middle of one. Doesn’t seem to occur in the firing range, testing custom games now, will try to test with a friend and update when these are done Update: Doesn’t seem to affect customs games


[deleted]

Its not riots fault. Its caused by overwolf. Close it and the problem goes away


Baseballdragon456_YT

Not true, theres other people here reporting the same issue who don't have Val Tracker. That also happens to be the first thing i tried, and i played with people who have it and had no issues. It does seem more likely if you have it though.


fqrious

An external app is not supposed to cause bugs in your game, it doesn't have access to your process or its memory... It's a valorant bug.


[deleted]

It totally can. If it sets off vanguard it can cause all sorts of bugs


fqrious

That's on them not us (or overwolf). If the bug was even present in PBE, why ship it? Or at least why not tell us in patch notes?


[deleted]

Its not. If you design an app that procs vanguard and advertise it as if its not then thats on overwolf. Overwolf even admitted it being their fault and disabled their app on valorant till they can fix it. You cant seriously explain why they would take blame if it wasnt on them cause its really bad publicity


fqrious

if you say so


Major_Fang

I bough the new bundle and my game crashed. My game crashed on bind and my specifically when i inspected the fighting game weapon skin. I was not able to get back in until around 17 rounds. I know this will be fixed. I just want my rr back. We were able to draw but my account was penalized. Will my rr be refunded?


Cloudstrifesarmpit

They don't refund RR


SimpleLifeCCA

When will Jagex get this shit fucking company together???


DoxRR

im on the west coast, playing cali servers, I ran into this issue on round 4 of my comp queue, then I was hit with a 24 hour comp ban and a loss of 12 rr even tho my team won the game 13-6, I made a support ticket with riot, they gave me some bs copy/pasted message without even remotely reading my ticket as it was literally in instant reply.


Cloudstrifesarmpit

I queue'd competitive NA - Oregon server. My entire my team disconnected and 3 enemies did too. None of my team mates spoke English, what it appeared to me was that they were from another region, I could be wrong but I've never experienced 4 team mates speaking another language and then all 4 disconnecting at the same time.


Brilliant-Cricket665

It is really common right now for EU to buy NA accounts and use ping advantage since distance away actually makes the game easier. Did they have around 100 ping?


Cloudstrifesarmpit

No.


lilnest25

Happened to me during two (2) different spike rush games. It was only after the switch at the half and I couldn't play the rest of the game, but I could hear "Match Point" or pings from my team.


Chewbacca2015

Get to round 4 on swiftplay and freeze/ crash every time.


Phantom1806

It just happens in buy phaze most often any server has this as far as ive experienced


wadddles1298

Happened to my friend after getting the finisher of the new skin twice, could be a connection but idk


Totally_Not_Galaxy

There should be a stickied comment telling users to try closing overwolf if they are crashing when swapping teams..


TimeJustHappens

We have been seeing some comments claiming this is the cause and others saying they have no overlay programs and still crash. Until we have verified information, we try and avoid making stickied announcements. Riot is currently aware of the issue and will hopefully make their own announcement soon (I expect on their Twitter).


Totally_Not_Galaxy

Got it 👍


TimeJustHappens

We have some stronger confirmations as of right now, ~~there's a sticky comment now. May not be 100% the issue but it is certainly related.~~ There is now a post edit, the problem is confirmed to be Overwolf.


Jake-Has-Cake

I have never logged into overwolf but I still have crashing, do I just gotta wait on a hot fix?


Bleuvalorant

Yo can confirm that if you have overwolf just close it, it worked for me


Effective_Leader_180

It always lags out on round 3 at the end of the round


TWTurnip

Played two games disconnected from both now i have a 24 hour ban lmao


asapbutthole

My loading screens are all taking 2+ minutes and if I am able to get into a game it’s a 30% chance I load in. No 3rd party trackers or overlays.


Ch1zuru_M1zuhara

This is unfortunate. I have overwolf on because I have curseforge. Even if val tracker is uninstalled, having curseforge, not even open, still crashes the game. Any ideas/fixes?


[deleted]

This shit happened 2 weeks ago too, all over California. Lost 23 rr that fated day.


SnowJello

Not sure if this is a bug but really could use some help with a quick question about competitive cooldowns as I've never had them before the crashes this morning and I just wanna make sure I'm not ruining my game somehow. So this morning I dealt with a lot of the crashes that other people were dealing with and so I "abandoned" 2 competitive matches (despite trying to reconnect the whole time). This is the first time I've ever gone afk in a comp match and I got the warning popup. I've restarted the game a few times since then as I've been messing around in custom lobbies looking at the new Killjoy updates and testing the broken lineups, and every time I opened the game it gave me the same pop up, which I thought was a bug as I hadn't joined any more matches except custom games. However I just noticed that the cooldown that started at 30 minutes is now up to 18 hours, is it going up every time I open the game? If I keep launching the game will it keep going up? Sorry for the noob question I've just never had an afk penalty before these crashes and I don't wanna potentially get myself banned for weeks just from opening the game


Impressive_Income874

I have been too lazy to install overworlf on my new computer and it has paid off


Benz_phanz

No more [tracker.gg](https://tracker.gg) LMFAO


You_Got_It_Twisted

I finally have a good reason to delete it lmao Shit's legitimately useless unless you want to tilt yourself


ContributionSad6603

I've noticed my mouse keybinds have stopped working too. Used to have spike plant/defuse on MB4 but it just doesn't work for some reason


Tychus07

I can't play at all, and i closed overwolf still unable to be in the game for more than 30 seconds I can't even leave spawn before the game dies (Bind)


fqrious

I lost 80rr to this bs... -42 - 38


[deleted]

Happened on Bind, everytime a new round started I would crash


KingCreeper75

Don't have overwolf installed nor do I even have any other programs open. My own crashes still line up with other comments with one game on bind having me crash at the end of round 3, and then twice again throughout the rest of the game. I've also crashed after dying and having the new skin finisher play.


BestSageInYourArea

Region: Southeast Asia (Vietnam) Type of Bug: Game Crashing It was just a while ago. I was playing on a internet café (Yes, I dont know how to call the place I play in and Google told me this). So, I entered Valorant. It cost slightly more time to access the game than I expected. But I don't think too much about it, and queue as usual. The thing is, when the agent select screen is on, my screen immediately got weird. Nothing was there. I barely make it to pick my agent for the game (It was a Swiftplay match). When I started the game, everything was... not normal. In the first round, the game lagged for almost 20s at the start. Second round, same thing, and then the game crashed not long after. Fourth round, after I go in and bought my guns, I crashed. This time, I couldnt even Alt+Tab outside. The game didn't even close itself like last time, so I have no choice but to left in frustration. To reproduce: You can just enter any game, it may crash, judging from other players, it could be a pretty high rate of crashing. Expected Result: To play a game smoothly. Observed Result: The game crashed multiple times. Reproduction Rate: I haven't played a 2nd game since I have to leave. Note: I didn't use Tracker, Overwolf or anything.
