Patch Notes 4.02 Valorant
Below are the full 4.02 Valorant patch notes courtesy of Riot Games.
PERFORMANCE UPDATES
- Reduced latency in Maximized Window mode (now it is almost the same as in Full Screen mode)
- These improvements should work well with game overlays, but if you open another program window on top of the game, all the benefits will come to naught.
SOCIAL UPDATES
- AFK detection buff
- Updated non-participatory behavior detections in the game.
- Agent selection reports
- There seems to be some confusion with agent selection reports. Remember that before the start of the match, you can right-click on the player who is behaving inappropriately and report him!
COSMETIC ITEMS
- Fixed an issue where the pulsing effect around the Spectrum Z logo would appear next to the trigger during the second Bulldog inspection animation.
Agents
- Fixed an issue where Killjoy's Alert Robot and Turret could not be restored after resurrecting Sage.
KNOWN ISSUES
eSports Features
- Currently, projectile tracking while spectating another spectator does not work correctly.
