Valorant Yearly Flashback 2024: A Simple Guide for Players Facing Issues

Quick Fix for Valorant Yearly Flashback Not Working

If your Yearly Flashback isn’t working:

1. Enter Your Username and ID Exactly as They Are:

   • Use the exact full-width characters (like ！, Ａ, Ｇ) in your Riot account.
   • Example: If your username is ＧａｍｅＭａｓｔｅｒ！４５６ and your ID is #ＶＡＬＯＲＡＮＴ, enter it exactly this way.

2. Don’t Replace Characters:

   • Don’t change Ｇ to G or ！ to !. If you do, the system won’t recognize your account.

Example

What Works:

• Username: ＧａｍｅＭａｓｔｅｒ！４５６
• ID: #ＶＡＬＯＲＡＮＴ

What Doesn’t Work:

• Username: GameMaster!456
• ID: #VALORANT

The system won’t recognize your account if you use regular characters instead of full-width ones.

What’s Causing the Problem?

The issue comes down to special characters used in some usernames, especially if you use full-width characters common in Japanese text. These are different from regular characters used in most languages.

Here’s an example:

• Regular characters look like this: A, B, 1, 2, !, #.
• Full-width characters (often used in Japanese) look like this: Ａ, Ｂ, １, ２, ！, ＃.

Even though they look similar, the game treats them as completely different. So if your username has full-width characters, the system can’t process it correctly, and your Flashback feature won’t work.
