Bugs
Agents
- Fixed bug where if Sage's Barrier Orb was damaged while fortifying, it would fortify to full health instead of going to max health minus the damage that was dealt during fortification
Gameplay systems
- Fixed a bug where abilities, like Sova Drone that are pushed by the Lotus doors into other players, could continue to push players even after the door stops or the players exited the doors area.
Performance
- Fixed hitch where game mode related UI is loaded in a blocking manner on game startup.
As you can see, the changes arriving in update 6.04 for VALORANT are remarkably smaller than we're used to. Still, at least it looks like the game is in a good position for the newest Episode in the Chapter.
