Patch Notes for VALORANT 1.12, Fix Issues in 1.11!

Riot will be releasing a small patch for their latest update after the release of the problematic Patch 1.11. Several in-game bugs escaped the loophole, resulting in a full re-release.

The developers have been forced to “re-evaluate” what it takes to “raise quality standards” over the next few days. And while they didn’t miss Patch 1.12, they did give it a “light touch”.

Updates to the Observer and social panels are the focus of Patch 1.12, in addition to a number of bug fixes.

Here is a complete list of updates for VALORANT Patch 1.12

COMPETITIVE MODE UPDATE

- The Act Rank Badge will be disabled in-game while the developer investigates a potential issue that could result in impaired in-game performance.
- The Act Rank Badge will still be displayed in the Competitive lobby, map load and end-game screens.

GAME SYSTEM UPDATE

Observer/Observer

- The observer no longer hears the ping sound
- Improved viewing angle visibility in well-lit areas
- Added Game Status Modification trick so that moderators can adjust various aspects of the game (player stats, money, etc.) in tournament settings
- Fixed team color change recall from patch 1.11
  - This caused confusion as people began to recognize red as attacker and green as defense.
  - There is a bug that causes certain UI elements to be displayed in the wrong color
  - Riot plans to bring this feature back in the future once it completes adding support for custom team colors
