Since a lot of people having problems with VALORANT
i wanted to share this config with you
this will mostly help people with mid to low tier PC or on laptops
most of these values works for any Unreal Engine game
when it comes to hitreg issue i recommend trying warp
with this setting as this has the lowest impact when it comes to latency
this should fix most routing and bypass most ISP's throttling
(Preference -> connection -> DNS protocol -> HTTPS)

https://1.1.1.1/
use this to get free GB
https://github.com/TheCaduceus/WARP-UNLIMITED-ADVANCED

make sure to make a backup in case you didnot like the settings for some reason

config file location "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\VALORANT\Saved\Config\"
sort by date modified open the latest one then open Windows folder if you cannot find it go to the next folder in order till you find it
you should find the config file inside the Windows folder

config

Can this be used with your power plan?
Yes you can use this config no matter what power plan you are on let me know how the game feels after you use it


I think it did something. Shots feel more like it hits. However, currently my game is like me feeling more sharp but the enemies also feel more fast and sometimes I die even before I hear the sound of me dying or them swinging.

Maybe its because of my buffers? Currently on 512/256 no rss.

Also is the gameuser config normally empty? Its empty on an account config folder (the jumbled numbers one) but for the pc itself where it inly has gameuserconfig and no riotusersettings it has values in it. Where should I paste it? Should I set it to read-only?
For some reason i donot believe this buffer tweak works tried it multiple times over the years usually i see worse performance instead i would suggest you turn on offloading
and try interrupt moderation On it made difference for me on fortnite

The config file should be in the same location as i showed in the post earlier you will need to change the recent one only thats why i made you sort it by date and i donot know why the game have multiple config folders you might want to check it from time to time yo make sure you are on the right one no need for read only i think
what other location for config you talking about is empty ?

Default buffer for me would be 512/128. Which offloading should I turn on? Checksum, tcp, udp? Also I have realtek ethernet my interrupt moderation only has enabled and disabled

Have been using Wrap+ Unlimited (I'm paying)

However your Game config seems to make the difference from my side, my shots are landing and I don't get those non-sense Ferrari peaks! Or maybe just a placebo?

I have a question, where did you get those extra line commands in the file? The original file doesn't have all of that. Unreal Engine commands?
If you don't mind me asking can you share your specs.
So far it seems to work it's crazy! If you can have time to explain what would be the extra lines do for my clarification that would be awesome. I just checked the game config of my friend who played ForKKnife and those lines are present :) Very well done! Smart!

My config:
- Mobo: Gigabyte Aorus Master Z790
- CPU: Intel 13900K
- Ram: XPG DDR5 7200
- GPU: Gigabyte Aorus Master 4090
- SSD: XPG S70 GAMING X BLADE
- Monitor: ALIENWARE 2521H
- LAN: Intel X520 SFP+ 10GB (FIBER)
- Internet: Telus 1Gbps Fiber FTTH

When I started using it with his updated game config, it works but I can see some micro lag which I get some packet loss while using Wrap+, and without I don't have that issue. Like I said the good thing is that I feel like the game config is enough to make the difference, I don't think the network part will make a huge impact. In fact, mine is all default.

Turn on all the offloading stuff i think the most important once are the tcp and udp
interrupt moderation test with it on and off and see which give you better consistent performance

Most of the stuff explains it self the once that doesn't
i will share some links here for them if you interested to know more you can read them

r.rhicmdbypass=0
r.rhithread.enable=1
to Enable parallel rendering

r.OneFrameThreadLag=0
r.GTSyncType=2
r.rhi.SyncInterval=0
rhi.SyncSlackMS=0
all these explained here
https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-U ... meSyncing/

r.FinishCurrentFrame=0
This Enables tearing so you can see multiple frames above each other having it on will finish the frame will help with micro stutter but will add latency if you prefer the tradeoff you can turn it on if you get more consistent performance.

bSmoothFrameRate=false
https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-U ... FrameRate/

r.EyeAdaptationQuality=0
has to do with motion blur

bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
This enable raw mouse input gives lower latency

AllowUserSettingLowInputLatencyMode=True
LowInputLatencyModeEnabled=True
LowInputLatencyModeIsEnabled=True
this was low latency feature introduced in fortnite added it here as they share the same engine might work here also

MouseSamplingTime=0.000125
have to do with the mouse pooling rate here i have it at 8K


MouseAccelThreshold=1000000.000000
This says when to enable mouse acceleration i have it at a very high value to disable mouse acceleration

ReduceMouseLag=True
This old value found in in EU3 games added it just in case it is still useful

sg.TrueSkyQuality=1
sg.GroundClutterQuality=0
sg.IBLQuality=0
sg.HeightFieldShadowQuality=0
sg.GlobalIlluminationQuality=0
sg.ReflectionQuality=0
sg.GraphicQuality=0
sg.ApplicationQuality=0
sg.AudioQuality=1
sg.DOFQuality=0
sg.AmbientOcclusionQuality=0
sg.MotionBlurQuality=0
sg.SubSurfaceScatteringQuality=0
sg.CapsuleShadowQuality=0
sg.ScreenSpaceShadowQuality=0
sg.LightShaftQuality=0
sg.LensFlareQuality=0
sg.TextureFilteringQuality=0
sg.WorldLODQuality=0
sg.CharacterLODQuality=0
sg.AnimationQuality=0
sg.DynamicResolutionScalingQuality=0
sg.GrassDrawDistanceQuality=0
sg.ScreenSpaceReflectionsQuality=0
sg.ReflectionCaptureActorsQuality=0
sg.RefractionQuality=0
sg.VolumetricFogQuality=0
sg.TessellationQuality=0
sg.ConeStepMappingQuality=0
sg.TranslucencyQuality=0
sg.CharacterTextureDetailQuality=0
sg.WorldTextureDetailQuality=0
sg.EffectsTextureDetailQuality=0

sg.AsyncComputeQuality=0
sg.TiledResourcesQuality=0
sg.TCDrawCalls=0
sg.PMVQuality=0
sg.ViewDistanceScale=1.0
sg.BloomQuality=0
sg.PerformanceMode=4
all these lowers the visual effects mostly for more details you can search each

You donot have to use warp
warp only helps when you getting poor routing or your ISP is throttling your connection so hard
other than that in can make your connection worse so only use it if you need it

i don't believe you can change the config in valo actually. i'm not convinced it uses any of those settings in the config file but rather it has its own config it uses regardless of what you configure. you can test it by playing around with the values and seeing if there's any difference in present times with nvidia frameview. What does work for a fact however is reflex low latency + boost and disabling multithread rendering. I still leave multithread rendering enabled just to get the extra half a millisecond buffer time for quick 180s to prevent the gpu being late on a frame.

I am really happy it is helping
oh my god i am amazed you even feeling a difference with such a beast of PC
You have the highest specs of any one tested this config so far.

Would also recommend enabling offloading in Ethernet settings.
