Valorant Update 1.000.009 Patch Notes for Aug. 15:

Here’s the announcement from Riot regarding today’s patch:

We’re deploying a hotfix for a crash that can occur for some players when loading into a match and cause long load times. The fix is rolling out soon and all queues will go down starting at 1:30 pm PT. We’ll keep you posted on when queues are back

That’s about it. Chances are, the queue times are back to normal levels by the time you read this, but if it hasn’t, we’ll update the article with more announcements from Riot if any are made.
