If you've been striving to increase your game's performance as a VALORANT player, patch 4.03 has great news for you. Riot Games has introduced a new feature called Global Invalidation, which should help you and your PC go faster.
During a match, many game components constantly change on screen as the match progresses. The amount of UI elements that need to be refreshed should be reduced through global invalidation. As a result, users should see a 15% increase in baseline performance. This figure was reportedly achieved over two weekends of testing and is the “highest performance boost for customers since launch. »
“Achieving these gains was an effort that spanned multiple teams and took several months to complete,” VALORANT Software Engineer Aaron Cheney said in a Developer Blog."Our process of identifying areas of the game ready for optimization paid off, and risk management along the way has ensured a stable experience for players. »
The new feature was activated in July 2021, when developers started researching possible ways to improve performance. After a few months, they started integrating their improvements into the game and testing them for bugs that needed to be fixed. Worldwide invalidation tested by Riot on the VALORANTS PBE before its official introduction during the last month of 2021 and the first month of 2022.
On live servers, all CPU-bound players can now try global invalidation.
