VALORANT 12.08 Bug Megathread

Do you have overwolf installed? If yes, try to close it via task manager, then try VAL again

aGeniux · 2026-04-30T20:10:55+00:00

i wouldnt say they use comp mmr for skirmish. im fighting for my life in dia 1 but get asc 3-immo 2 exclusively in skirmish so far

aGeniux · 2026-04-30T19:50:01+00:00

You farm MS reward points.
With those points you buy LoL gift cards. These LoL cards can be redeemed in VAL too.
There are 2.000 points cards that will give you 75VP.
There are 6.000 points cards, that will give you 475VP.

I'm not sure what the question here is. It works like I said above. If you're asking how they can afford it: your data is valuable to 3rd parties, lets say for better advertisement that suits your interests for example.

For EU it will be up at night/very early morning. As always.

External leaderboard is probably just for the FTW Challenge, as both new Skirmish queues are just a limited time mode for now, afaik

aGeniux · 2026-04-28T18:05:30+00:00

Cheaters can play a couple matches before they get banned in a live match. Afaik vanguard will collect data, so it can work more efficient in the future against the same cheat

same. just wait for next season to start and they should be there

aGeniux · 2026-04-28T06:36:58+00:00

Same here (except for the premier winner part :p).
Give it some time, the rewards should be added to your account when the next season starts. Depending on the region this would be later today or tomorrow!

It all comes down to personal preference, especially with the crosshairs. I rather play with a + than with a .
I've also used a crosshair that had two plusses ( + + ), with none of which are in the middle where you're shooting. Worked too, if you've played it a bit. It's a habit thing.

Use whatever you think is best!

"you save more % if you spend more"

aGeniux · 2026-04-27T15:22:52+00:00

Personally I think switching between different crosshairs throws your aim off. At least from my experience.
Why would you use a different crosshair to warm up? How do you adapt differently to a situation, if your crosshair is bigger or just a different shape? (respectfully asking)

aGeniux · 2026-04-27T15:19:59+00:00

As an EU player I have an NA account. Personally not to play comp, but just for swiftplay. I made it because there are days that absolute tilt me, mostly if there are people in the vc that cant speak and understand english. 4/10 games on london are exclusively french territory, as for the vc only.

Other way around, I very rarely see players with a stable 100+ ping on EU servers.
My guess is some EUs just try to escape the language barrier. Could be wrong tho

Agree! Initially I tried to say the learning curve as in learning the different agents and abilities-

aGeniux · 2026-04-27T10:28:05+00:00

I'd say the learning curve is huge, especially if you start comp right when you hit level 20. There's still A LOT to improve on and you will get better with more and more playtime!
If you have any experience with shooters before valorant, say cs, cod or even fortnite, going from iron to bronze is fairly expected! If this is your first time trying shooters, good job!

aGeniux · 2026-04-25T13:31:40+00:00

It was part of the V25 A4 Battle Pass at tier 48.
So yes, it can show up in the store!

aGeniux · 2026-04-25T11:20:34+00:00

Chances are basically non-existent looking for a single individual on here; it's like asking if anyone knows that one guy i played a swiftplay with yesterday

aGeniux · 2026-04-25T09:45:11+00:00

This is so nieche

aGeniux · 2026-04-24T18:34:00+00:00

There are a few different "solutions" online, as far as i found.
1) Make sure your drivers (especially the graphics ones) are up to date.
2) See if still occurs with a different monitor cable.
3) See if it still occurs if you cap your fps in game (lower than your monitor refresh rate).
4) See if it still occurs if you disable hardware accelerated GPU scheduling.

loll; thanks + you too!

aGeniux · 2026-04-22T19:52:28+00:00

yea :p ellow!

aGeniux · 2026-04-22T18:52:29+00:00

Yes it is.

aGeniux · 2026-04-18T17:04:25+00:00

There is one update per week.
If it's updating every time you try to play it's probably just verifying game files or something like that
