Known issues
- Competitive match overtime on this patch will be resolved using Sudden Death, which we know is intrinsically unfair. We’re actively working on replacing this with a more fair solution.
- We’ve discovered issues in our routing software causing some players in Sweden to be incorrectly placed on our Istanbul game servers, and this is likely causing a small number of players elsewhere to also end up on the incorrect game servers. The fix is deployed to our Stockholm networking gear and we’re deploying the fix globally this week.
The wait of all competitive players in Valorant will finally come to an end! Three weeks after the official release of the game, Riot Games announces that the Competitive mode will be deployed later this week, along with Patch 1.02.
