Patch Notes Valorant 3.07 – Changes to the deathmatch, Riot resigns from exiting penalties

Valorant

Riot has already released the official description of the latest patch. However, there is not much in it.

Riot mainly dealt with deathmatch and bug fixes. In addition to the balance changes, the penalties for exiting this mode have also been removed. The full official description:

I hope the last patch was enough excitement for one patch cycle. Patch 3.07 is all about fixing a number of common crashes some of you may have experienced in the past.

Slight changes to Deathmatch will remove penalties for leaving Deathmatch early, and Agents who frequently get high can no longer escape the upper most portion of Viper’s wall decay.

AGENT UPDATES

VIPER

  • Passing through the highest portion of Viper’s wall now correctly applies instant decay to high-flying Agents
  • Updated the visuals for the dissolving effect seen while inside Viper’s smoke to better match the visuals seen from the outside, in an attempt to remove any type of peeker’s advantage when playing from within the smoke.

SOCIAL UPDATES

  • Penalties removed for leaving Deathmatch early
    • Full game participation is required to earn XP.

PERFORMANCE UPDATES

  • New setting, in Beta, “Raw Input Buffer” improves performance of input device processing
    • VALORANT has used Raw Input for devices since launch. Enabling “Raw Input Buffer” will adjust which APIs are used for processing Raw Input.
    • Should result in minor performance improvement and identical input latency when used with standard input devices and gaming mice.
    • Major performance improvement when used with 8000hz polling rate mice.
    • 8000hz polling rate mice are supported with this feature enabled.

GAME SYSTEM UPDATES

  • A slew of fixes for some common crashes as reported by players

BUGS

SOCIAL
