VALORANT Patch Notes 4.02

This performance-focused patch also targets AFK detection improvements.
Game Updates
Jeff Landa

PERFORMANCE UPDATES

  • Improved latency for Windowed Fullscreen mode to match closer to Fullscreen Exclusive
    • These improvements should play well with in-game overlays, however, having another program’s window on top of your gameplay window will negate these benefits.
    • Thanks to @MyNameIsMJP and @SheriefFYI for helping us diagnose this issue!

SOCIAL UPDATES

  • AFK detection buff
    • Updated detections for non-participatory behavior in game
  • Agent-select reporting
    • Looks like there’s been some confusion around Agent-select reporting. Remember, you can right click players in pre-game and report them if they’re being disruptive!

BUGS

Cosmetics

  • Fixed a bug where the pulsing FX around the Spectrum Z logo were appearing next to the trigger during second inspect animation on the Bulldog.

Agents

  • Fixed issue where Killjoy’s Alarmbot and Turret were unretrievable after being resurrected by Sage.

KNOWN ISSUES

Esports Features

  • Projectile Follow currently bugs out for Observer Followers
    • We’re working on a fix, but this one missed 4.02. We appreciate your patience!
