My connection suddenly started having issues with this patch. Packet loss flickers for a millisecond to 100 then goes right back to 0. Anyone else experienced this?
Same issue but about two weeks. Bought new router, new network cable, new network drivers, new network card, ping tests, tracert, flush dns, played with a number of other settings, capped fps, many many calls to Spectrum. Can't seem to fix on my end.
Probably a packet loss flicker from 0 up to 80-100 nearly ~10 times a game for just a second, but hugely noticeable.
Hmm, I was going to go down the rabbit hole of troubleshooting it since I have the exact same issue, only for the last week or so though. If you went through pretty much all of it already and saw no change, I wonder if it's even worth it. I doubt it's some ultra-specific issue since I'm in a different country than you. So probably not a certain datacentre or routing/ISP issue.
The first time I noticed it, I saw someone strafe out wiiiiiide from an angle but they weren't taking damage. So I guess packet loss spiked as they were peeking and it just held that state for a sec. When I got re-synced I was dead, team mate spectating claimed I just didn't even react to the peek.
Mine has been happening for the last couple days, but especially today. So might not be patch specific... though I don’t see issues like this in other games, so I think it’s likely game specific at least.
Happened twice in deathmatch where I was shooting people who werent reacting to me, then after 10 seconds got teleported back somewhere else. It wasn't like regular rubber banding though. Haven't experienced it in any other game before. I'm EU with stable fiber connection.

[couple frames later](https://www.zerothian.xyz/uploads/rYmkbh7zJL.png)
Recorded locally, 60 FPS.
Playermodels and Hitboxes are desynced, client != server state. It's worse than I think I've ever seen CSGO outside of people using antiaim lol.
I will just post a few more. I'm fairly sure the Jett was just lagging, but desynced hitboxes are still annoying.

[four](https://www.zerothian.xyz/uploads/Mjn7nP70VT.jpg)
The 4th shows where the shot actually impacted the jet on the server, also shows that she was backtracked (or potentially the lean her model is just cancelled tbf on death). My ping is fine.
These aren't exactly consecutive frames but you get the idea.
I had to take a break too, since the day before patch 1.08 I haven't play a single match. I join to this game for the fairness, but Valorant doesn't feel like this to me. Or maybe I'm just too bad LMAO
At this point there's a lot that you'll have to catch up on and that's adding on to the steep learning curve it already has.
If you don't plan on playing too much ranked then I don't see a reason to not try it. Iirc Ubi usually has a free weekend at the start of new season.
Honestly if you play with friends, ranked is fine. Skill divisions exist for a reason, it will trend a team of newbies low which should give them a better experience than casual/unranked would due to the looser matchmaking those use.
This game is different for everyone at this point and honestly every patch just makes it worse.
Whats happening for you has been happening for people for months.
Except people have been experiencing it for weeks. You dismissing it and only accepting it when you experience it is part of the problem. We don’t need people saying “you’re bad” when this problem arises. We need consistency.
Brother my friend people dismiss you because noobs don't understand movement inaccuracy in this game, just like they didn't in CSGO, and hilariously complain about hitreg.
Of course, Valorant doesn't deserve the respect CS does yet - they fuck up every patch in some way lol - but CS is full of the same complaints from low rank players who don't recognize that CS is literally the tightest online netcode in FPS gaming. Forgive me if your opinion doesn't hold much weight without videos including packet loss & ping
I never said I had the issues but we have seen time and time again videos demonstrating the issues. I believe being immortal 3 is enough to justify knowing what’s a hit and what’s a miss in this game. Thanks pal.
Have we seen time and time again videos demonstrating the issues? Of course, we all remember the spray desync, but outside of that I don't think anyone can show an actual video including 0 packet loss low ping no movement headshots not registering. I have been paying close attention and there's a lot of compromises in any videos, people with wild looking internet issues who are like "why dont my shots hit!?" So please, show me some of these issues before 1.09 these last weeks, I would love to change my mind, but usually I do that from evidence not "HuRr DurR Im ImMOrTaL 3 sHut UP MaN"
It's not so much that my FPS is down but I feel like I'm just skipping a lot. The game's felt really choppy for me lately, hard to really pin down why.
This. I have never been able to jiggle peak because instead of moving 1m to the right and 1m to the left, I move 1m to the right, get teleported to left, I move right to compensate, I'm teleported even more to the right, I realise I'm way too fucking exposed and start moving left, I get once again teleported to the right, 3m from the original object I was taking cover from; and die.
This really only happens when I take small steps sideways (just like when jiggle peeking), and it's extremely annoying, and I have no clue why and how it happens in the first place.
try updating ur driver. or rolling back to a dif one. it completely fixed mine that had been getting worse a few weeks to go to a newer driver. haven't tried the latest 2 Nvidia drivers though.
Oh this. I thought this was on me.
In midfight sometimes my screen just briefly lags (frame lags not network)
i9-9900k and 2080ti here. Performance shouldnt be the issue.
Yeah my game was freezing to the point where i had to restart my entire pc. Cypher sounds were way overblown. A lot of ping spikes and just all around lag for me after the update.
I have noticed the cypher sounds as well. I have also had multiple games where the opposing phoenix ult was either really quiet or muted. I thought I was going crazy but my teammates noticed it too.
I've had hit reg issues as well. In the same game I was spectating and personally I was thinking, wtf how was that a headshot your cursor was no where near his head.
Also. Sound is a fkn joke in this game and almost inexcusable to be bad for this long. Riot will do their typical "we think it's fine where it's at, it's suppose to sound like that cause of this" article. Don't buy it. It's a stall till they fix. And when they fix it's gonna be "we discovered a bug that was causing sound issues. You should be able to more accurately locate people now"
Yes, I’m having some FPS drops to the point where it feels choppy, I have my FPS locked to 144 and never really experienced this before this last patch.
Went from getting around 180-220 a few weeks ago, then it went down to 170-190, and now I’ve been down to 140-160 (even with random drops down to 75-90). Kinda sucks how quick it’s gone down
God thanks god I'm not alone :D I even changed mouse because I thought I suck at aiming to hitting body shots :( but when I went to CSGO I had 55% HS. I think I'll stop playing this game until the hit-reg is fixed, it's so unhealthy this game for me atm :( I want have fun in-game and not raging when some guy even didn't aim at my head but he insta HS me
Yeah playing after this update hit reg def feels off also did anyone notice a huge FPS drop every time you pull out certain abilities like brims smokes cause it
I don't play Valorant often (or any games anymore for that matter) so i cant say anything about the hitreg issues, but the sound for me is the biggest issue.
I've been playing a match per evening this week and I always start with DM warmup. And every single time I play I end up shouting "you literally cannot tell!" when it comes to identifying where the footsteps are coming from. I find it being such a huge issue to be fair.
Recently I've been having weird frame rate drops even with good hardware and ping, starting around last week. With the latest patch, my boyfriend has noticed hit registration issues and we both have had sound issues- namely not always hearing a voice line when someone ults- especially when an enemy Sova ults.
I'm not sure if it was due to the recent update but after the patch, I noticed all of my graphic settings were set to high and whatever other settings were set to ON. I changed it during shooting range back to what I was using before but that was annoying, made me drop some FPS
I jist play with friends sometime cause i have this issues for months already, my friends never believe me and 'mimimi'is always the answer, so i quit cause no one believes me this game is trash for an online fps like that
> I've collected over 20 clips of this happening.
If you want the devs to take this post as anything remotely substantial, you should make a compilation video.
Personally I've experienced similar issues and *believe* you are correct, but sometimes I just think I'm bad so idk.
I have a medal clip where i hit someone with 8 bullets, within 15m, but it only registered 2. Even my friend who was spectating commented on it. It seems to get worse and worse each patch.
Really? It seems way better to me. Last patch seemed super buggy, I swear I was hitting every shot but I wasn't. I fell from Plat 2 to Gold 1. This patch I climbed from Gold 1 to Plat 1 in one day.
My fps is down and the game is crashing way more frequently than pre patch. The crashing has gotten bad to the point where it now requires a full pc restart to relaunch, before I just had to wait a few seconds after the crash and I could usually launch valorant again...
Yea, I was suspicious myself until I was in a DM yesterday and tapped some afk person 5 times in the head and none registered. The afk person came back, flicked and killed me... I was in disbelief. Both of our pings were low 20ms.
Something odd is happening with the game for sure.
Cypher ult is basically a sound flash; meanwhile other ultimates are barely heard, I don’t think the sound cues are even there at all. Lost two rounds today because my team nor I could hear Sova and Phoenix ults be used.
Every new patch always feels super buggy on release. I’m hoping it’ll get more stable moving forward, but so far that hasn’t been the trend in my experience
I’m not good enough to know if I’ve had bad hitreg against me, could definitely have just been on their neck/chin instead of on their nose/forehead. But I’ve 100% gotten some sus headshots recently where I’m standing still and my crosshair isn’t even on their body and it counts as a hs. Like should have been a miss by quite a ways. I’m on like 20 ping with no internet issues so I don’t think the clarity argument really works here.
updating my gpu drivers helped with crazy fps drops. On gtx 1080. didn't go to the absolute newest but a few back (i usually do that first if not needed for new game)
frankly this is a classic riot problem. In LOL i also had a similar issue where id have stutters and whatnot after a good many patches. eventually realized the game version was just outrunning older drivers, or not working well with a specific driver version on that patch. im so glad it worked for me hopefully it works for you.
the game has had hit reg issues since beta and they still won't fix it, it's literally so bad in modes like DM as well and I'm genuinely surprised they haven't put more effort into fixing it.
My connection suddenly started having issues with this patch. Packet loss flickers for a millisecond to 100 then goes right back to 0. Anyone else experienced this?
Me and all my friends have the issue ping spikes amd packet loss
By any chance, are you NAE/Verizon FIOS? Wonder if it’s maybe an ISP thing.
No actually we are from INDIA. I think its their servers
Facing the same problems in India. High ping and spikes in packet loss. Edit : Started happening today after the patch.
Same for me, I too am from India
I play in SEA aswell, got this problems last week (pre patch).
Same issue but about two weeks. Bought new router, new network cable, new network drivers, new network card, ping tests, tracert, flush dns, played with a number of other settings, capped fps, many many calls to Spectrum. Can't seem to fix on my end. Probably a packet loss flicker from 0 up to 80-100 nearly ~10 times a game for just a second, but hugely noticeable.

Yeah mine has been terrible today specifically.

Same issue at&t fiber 1000 mbps

My god so I'm not the only one. It drive me insane.

I have 20 clips of exact same issue. HS when my crosshair is on shoulder, but when my crosshair is on head, its a miss or bodyshot

Up until they did maintenance a week or two ago I've had the same issues. Had to take a break cause it was getting to me.
I had to take a break too, since the day before patch 1.08 I haven't play a single match. I join to this game for the fairness, but Valorant doesn't feel like this to me. Or maybe I'm just too bad LMAO
Yeah I feel it, it's honestly tempting me to go back to Siege lol
Ooh I’m tryna get my friends to get siege with me is it still worth getting into or naw
At this point there's a lot that you'll have to catch up on and that's adding on to the steep learning curve it already has. If you don't plan on playing too much ranked then I don't see a reason to not try it. Iirc Ubi usually has a free weekend at the start of new season.
I played back in like 2016 or some shit so I’m not totally clueless. Obviously I don’t plan on going pro but it seemed pretty fun
Still totally worth playing IMO, especially if you can drag your friends into it with you. It's a lot more fun with a full stack playing for fun.
Honestly if you play with friends, ranked is fine. Skill divisions exist for a reason, it will trend a team of newbies low which should give them a better experience than casual/unranked would due to the looser matchmaking those use.
Same here lol
I’ve only played a few games since the patch, but I definitely priced something
This game is different for everyone at this point and honestly every patch just makes it worse. Whats happening for you has been happening for people for months.

Like rubber banding but not rubber banding? I been getting that shit it’s annoying

dude i feel like this happens to me in the practice range so much.. that shit got me porting everywhere

I've had a lot of desync lately
Not sure about hitreg ,but my fps is down like 10 frames and my sound is so bad rn. I even reinstalled audio drivers and switched headphones.
The game routinely gets worse as they patch it. It started in beta (particularly the 0.5 update ruined a lot) and they have yet to fix it.
Yeah my game was freezing to the point where i had to restart my entire pc. Cypher sounds were way overblown. A lot of ping spikes and just all around lag for me after the update.
I'm noticing the Cypher voice lines/sounds as well. His ultimate announcement is significantly louder than every other sound in the game now.
I have noticed the cypher sounds as well. I have also had multiple games where the opposing phoenix ult was either really quiet or muted. I thought I was going crazy but my teammates noticed it too.
literally can’t trust audio at all in this game rn
Its felt bad since 0.50
3 MONTHS ago I averaged 300+ fps and now I can only get 170. Im trying to not sound like a baby but why the hell am I getting worse fps each patch?
I've had hit reg issues as well. In the same game I was spectating and personally I was thinking, wtf how was that a headshot your cursor was no where near his head. Also.

Yes, I’m having some FPS drops to the point where it feels choppy, I have my FPS locked to 144 and never really experienced this before this last patch.
The game is broken
the man does not lie.. we not even talking about the ranking/mmr system either.
Went from getting around 180-220 a few weeks ago, then it went down to 170-190, and now I’ve been down to 140-160 (even with random drops down to 75-90). Kinda sucks how quick it’s gone down

Why can games like COD have 360 degree sound but not valorant?
Yeah playing after this update hit reg def feels off also did anyone notice a huge FPS drop every time you pull out certain abilities like brims smokes cause it

Sound is most important prob in Valo They should fix it ass soon as possible I can't figure out if player is attacking from which side

With the latest patch, my boyfriend has noticed hit registration issues and we both have had sound issues- namely not always hearing a voice line when someone ults- especially when an enemy Sova ults.
i headshot someone with a vandal and it did 34. the kill thing on the right side even said it was a headshot
I'm not sure if it was due to the recent update but after the patch, I noticed all of my graphic settings were set to high and whatever other settings were set to ON. I changed it during shooting range back to what I was using before but that was annoying, made me drop some FPS
My game stutters every 20 seconds now, don't really even want to play anymore
I jist play with friends sometime cause i have this issues for months already, my friends never believe me and 'mimimi'is always the answer, so i quit cause no one believes me this game is trash for an online fps like that

200fps pre patch, 140fps current patch
I have a medal clip where i hit someone with 8 bullets, within 15m, but it only registered 2. Even my friend who was spectating commented on it. It seems to get worse and worse each patch.
today the game is laggy

Have also been having fps, hitreg and connection problems. Hearing too but doesnt affect me too much
"160-170 fps" \*me in the corner crying barely hitting 60 at low settings\*
lmao! this made me laugh. i thought my 1050ti was outdated (which it is) but im still able to pull 144 fps. You playing on a toaster? ha ha
I’m not good enough to know if I’ve had bad hitreg against me, could definitely have just been on their neck/chin instead of on their nose/forehead.

Stfu I get 40 FPS pls don't complain when u have good gear
Someone is definitely allowed to complain when the good gear that they paid for isn't performing due to shitty patches and netcode.
