Netcode & 128-Servers // Dev Diaries - VALORANT

VALORANT’s technical director, Dave Heironymus, and technical engineering lead, David Straily, know the pain of bad servers getting in the way of landing clean shots. Here’s what we’re doing to keep VALORANT’s netcode and server infrastructure sharp so that you’re in control of each engagement.

When the game releases, please dont stop doing these. I love the communication you guys have setup with these dev diaries

[Codytheduelist]

KEEP THESE GOING WHEN THE GAME RELEASES YOU GUYS ARE DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT

[faiko]

Finally good managers that care about what the community really wants

What did I learn from this video:


The South African CSGO scene in huge.

[Arikadou]

Thanks for videos like this, absolutely love seeing and hearing dev talk like this!

[spedy]

Perfect, now I don't have to play on 3rd party sites like faceit when playing csgo

[Nateson]

This is great. Love seeing the in-depth look at the client/server relationship. Hopefully Val will push the industry forward with all future competitive games using 128 tick.

To David Straily:
i recommend you pay attention to your posture, i can tell you spend a lot of time in the computer (as do i) but it is important to take a small break here and there to stretch and check your position. Maybe go see a professional, i can tell you will love the feeling afterwards :D


To the Valorant team:
Great work, i cannot wait for the game to be available in mexico and play and make some content for it.


Thank you for all your hard work!

Pleeeasssseeee consider bringing servers to South Africa. We have a large CS GO scene, the largest of e-sports communities in the country (helped made evident by C9 picking up some South African players recently), and would have a sizable demand for Valorant on release. We really want to play the game, so I dearly hope you're planning on enabling us to do so. Thanks!

[liaankruger]

In SA there is a massive competitive scene, trust me putting servers here will not be something you'll regret . CS GO is massive here and this game being free will honestly blow up here in South Africa!

[OfficialAilius]

I think I say for all of us that we do appreciate the amount of time, effort, and love that you guys have put into this game.

[SuperRunil]

Please consider South Africa for the future. Thousands of us have had to play on EUW servers on LOL for years now. 200ms ping all the way. Please consider it <3 <3

[edaps]

Everyone talking about keys, but can we get that dope music tho?

[setts]

me trying to see some funny comments:

South africans: I'm gonna stop you right there

[namanish]

I love how they got 2 Aussies to talk about server related issues.

[JKOEN]

South Africa will be a good investment for a connection point lots of local pc players and the biggest gaming site in Africa - African Cyber Gaming League (ACGL) would host a lot of local tournaments on their site

[andreidmny]

I love these dev diaries. The core foundation is rock solid for Valorant, I highly appreciate the attention you're devoting to fps fundamentals like netcode.

[MeTaLC]

Devs, will there be servers for South African players? the whole of Africa is empty on that chart that was shown in the video. We play league of legends on 200ms on EUW.
Please give us south afrcian servers for Valorant, we have CSGO servers here, so please do it

[Oshawa]

I can tell you as i'm sure many others who also have played any game proffessionally we really appreciate how you guys are going about the dev process in valorant. It gives a lot of us confidence when we see people like volcano and other devs and how they inhouse ex pros. This game will be big. This is a landmark in competitive gaming where the devs are actively going out of their way to be transparent and work with professionals and I hope it becomes an industry standard. You are makeing history and the counterstrike and many other fps professional scenes thank you.
