VALORANT — Which genre have you completely written off?

Spent most of the weekend on this and I am still not sure I understand it. Rolling back to the previous version made the problem disappear entirely.

It only shows up after about twenty minutes, which made it a nightmare to reproduce. Let me know if more detail would help.

Short version: that behaviour is intentional, even though it is poorly explained in-game.

Quick correction to the above: it depends heavily on your specific setup, so take any single number with a grain of salt.

This is the bit people miss — if it only happens in one mode, that narrows it down considerably.

Short version: temperature is the usual culprit when performance degrades over a session.
