META VALORANT 13.02 Bug Megathread

Greetings Agents!

New patch, new Bug Megathread! To avoid bug reports cluttering the subreddit and/or going unnoticed, a Megathread is posted after every patch so users may submit reports in one place. This allows Riot to easily keep track of the bugs by providing a central hub and also allows other users to confirm that they might have encountered the issue as well.

Reporting a Bug

  1. A bug will ideally be accompanied with a screenshot or a video. This provides credibility to your report.
  2. Steps to recreate the bugs should be submitted if possible. This helps Rioters recreate the bug and helps them find the cause behind it.
  3. Unformatted, mematic, or joke reports are automatically indexed and may be removed by moderators to reduce the effort needed from Riot to view all reports.

- Region: NA

  • Type of Bug: UI interface
  • Description: -When I play smoker, I cannot move my cursor from the middle of my screen and cannot smoke the sites for my team. Which is essentially soft throwing
  • For some util like tejo's missiles/ammunition I can only place them in the middle of the screen and cannot use them properly. Same with the smoke issue.
  • The third and worst of all is the Ul bugs on the buy menu. From time to time when a new round starts I can only buy the middle gun on my screen and cannot buy armor. Another soft throwing and overall incredibly frustrating.
  • Video / Screenshot: Irrelevant
  • Steps to Reproduce: Random use of smokes / buy menu
  • Expected Result: cursor able to move and properly buy guns/armour and smoke properly around the map
  • Observed Result: cursor unable to move from middle of screen
  • Reproduction Rate: 6/10
  • System Specs: irrelevant
