Valorant Indian servers are now live for testing

Update: Riot developers confirmed to us that the servers went live in India but it’s in sandbox mode.

“The sooner, the better,” while a Riot Games employee had earlier pitched out plans to deploy Valorant servers in South-Asia by late 2020, the servers are live right now! In an update for Valorant dated September 16, data miners had also found hidden strings suggesting new servers coming to Mumbai, India.

Prior to the release of the flagship first-person-shooter title, the developers had vowed to provide less than 35 ms ping to users across the globe. The coronavirus pandemic might have led to undesirable delays, though, the developers are adding servers across regions at a rapid pace.

Prior to the establishment of South-Asian servers in Mumbai, India, a vast sum of players in this region were previously connected to Singapore servers, or at times, the servers in Hong Kong. With the arrival of servers in Mumbai, thousands of Valorant enthusiasts in this part of the world are likely to celebrate. 

Alongside South-Asian servers, Valorant servers in the Middle-East and their website in Arabic also went live.

Valorant Middle East servers are live

Earlier today Valorant’s Twitter handle for Arab region tweeted, “You asked us about the Middle-East servers…and here we go – you’ll start noticing the low ping soon.” And the servers are live within three hours. 

Several users in the Middle-East region who would earlier connect to the EU servers have now rejoiced with comparatively low latency amid the launch of Middle-East servers. The servers are apparently situated in Dubai, UAE.

The new servers are not a stunning revelation though. The developers had earlier announced that they are working on deploying servers in Middle-East and South Asia. The servers were initially delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

While the developers had pledged lag-free gaming and less than 35ms ping for the majority of the gamers prior to the release, Riot Games seems to be hell-bent on delivering their promises wasting no time.

Earlier today, Riot Games also unveiled the Valorant website in the Arabic language for the region.

Riot testing Indian Valorant servers? Players report low latencies on custom games

Indian Valorant servers may be nearer than you think, as reports from hundreds of Indian Valorant players hint towards Riot experimenting with Indian servers over the past few hours.

It was only a few weeks ago that Riot had promised fans that Valorant servers for the Middle East and South Asia were in works. Today, Riot revealed the new Valorant website for the UAE, and a post by Valorant Arabia on Twitter has claimed that players from the Middle East will soon be able to enjoy low pings in matchmaking, which hints towards the UAE servers launching anytime soon.

Alongside the launch of the UAE servers, there’s also a good chance that the Indian Valorant servers will also be revealed at the same time.

Players across India reported today that they experienced extremely low pings on custom games, which is highly unusual, considering the fact that Valorant servers are situated in South East Asia.

These occurrences have led players to suspect that Riot may be testing out the Mumbai servers right now, before an official launch.

An official date for the launch of Mumbai servers for the shooter hasn’t been made public by Riot as of yet, but they can be expected to arrive at the end of this year.

Valorant UAE representations announced by Riot

Back when Valorant was initially announced, Riot Games had promised fans that they’d be able to deliver latencies as low as 35 ms to players worldwide in their competitive shooter. It looks like Riot is adhering to that promise, as Riot has hinted that Valorant UAE servers may be nearer than expected.

Today, Riot has officially revealed a new Valorant website for the UAE, and they’ve also claimed that players will soon be able to enjoy low latencies across the Middle East.

A post by Valorant Arabia on Twitter says, “You asked us about the Middle East servers… and we have the answer – you’ll start noticing the low ping soon!”

The announcement doesn’t come as a surprise, however. It has been only a few weeks since Riot had revealed that they’re working on Valorant servers for the Middle East and South Asia.

The Middle East Valorant servers are likely to be located in Dubai, UAE while the South Asian servers will be set up in Mumbai, India.

At the time of writing, no particular dates have been officially revealed by Riot on when the servers will launch.

Pokimane apologizes after referring to transgenders as “attack helicopter”

Over the past few months, Imane “Pokimane” Anys has repeatedly found herself amid controversies due to a number of different reasons. One of her recent statements that have sparked debates across social media platforms is a remark the 24-year-old made on her Instagram involving ‘simps’.

In the context of calling men ‘simps’ simply for being ‘decent males’, Pokimane’s Instagram story which was posted on 29th September said, “it was funny maybe 2 years ago, and you know what, dudes really do be simpin LMAO, but I’m tired of seeing anyone (male, female, attack helicopter, other) be called a simp for being remotely nice to a girl.”

It didn’t take long for her “attack helicopter” comment to be perceived as transphobic by viewers, some of whom resorted to Twitter to share their thoughts on her story.

“Ah I knew Pokimane was transphobic,” a Twitter user said. “It’s 2020, attack helicopter ain’t f**king funny. Stop invalidating trans people.”

As her statement started receiving more and more backlash from viewers, an apology from Pokimane followed.

Pokimane shared a post through her Instagram apologizing for her previous remark. “I so clearly missed the mark with this and I’m really sorry to anyone I’ve hurt or offended,” the Twitch star said. “I didn’t use the term ‘attack helicopter’ in a transphobic manner, and was ignorant of its history which is entirely my fault.”

She attached her Instagram post with a link to a donation for a homeless black trans women fund, which showed she was sincere with her apology.

How to fix “VAC unable to verify” error in CS:GO

The ‘VAC was unable to verify your game session‘ error is perhaps the most annoying error in CSGO which prevents the player from joining any matches, be it casual, competitive, or even community servers. Restarting your game rarely fixes the VAC issue, and you’re left wondering what you can do to get rid of this monster.

If you’re reading this, chances are that you’ve probably already tried everything in your mind and the nasty bug still won’t succumb to your valiant efforts. Don’t worry, we have you covered. Here are some tips which you can use right now to make the bug disappear and rank up in peace.

  1. Restart Steam Client: You may have already restarted your CSGO, but this error won’t leave you that easily. To fix it, you need to restart your entire Steam client. To do so, first, exit CSGO. Click on steam, then on the top left go to Steam, and exit (or log out). Relaunch the Steam client, then launch CSGO. Your problem is magically fixed. But on the off chance, it isn’t, read on.
  2. Restart Your PC: If restarting Steam didn’t fix the issue, restarting your PC might. You probably know how to do that, so let’s not waste time by stating here.
  3. Verify Game Files: There’s a chance that something might be corrupted in your game files. To find the problem, go to your steam library, right-click on CSGO, then go to verify local files. Once done verifying, your game will automatically redownload corrupted files and restore the game to its original state.
  4. Reinstall CSGO: Your absolute last resort. Reinstalling the game is almost certain to fix your problem. First, uninstall the game from the control panel or from Steam. Then go to the Steam store and download your fresh copy of CSGO.

Once fixed, you’ll be able to run CSGO smoothly like before and join servers at will. However, it’s not rare for this bug to return in the future. In case that happens, you can just try these steps once again and it’ll be fixed in no time.

Free PSN Games For October announced: Need for Speed Payback, Vampyr

From today, Sony is offering PlayStation Plus subscribers a free copy of Need for Speed: Payback and Vampyr as part of its Line-up for October 2020 games. Announced yesterday on the official blog, the game will be available on the store starting today throughout October 2020.

Need for Speed: Payback wasn’t received quite well by gamers on its release in 2017 and faced a backlash from fans of the series for being “another step back” from the previous titles in the NFS series. Although since its launch EA has somewhat dialed down the upgrade madness and increased credit payout, the grind is still unchecked due to upgrades still coming from RNG loot crates.

The second game on the list, Vampyr embraces the dark and grittiness of 1918’s environment quite well. You play as a doctor turned vampire going through the dark streets of London gripped by violence and fear trying to control his urge to suck the life force out of innocents. With Halloween right around the corner, Vampyr’s dark theme makes it a perfect spooky game to play during the month.

Both games are available from Tuesday, October 6 until Monday, November 2. At the same time make sure not to miss out on adding Street Fighter V and PUBG: PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds to your PlayStation 4 library before both exit PS Plus on October 5.
