You must always open the BLOB desktop app before BOTH Valorant and Riot Launcher so live data connects properly

Open your task manager and end all Riot/VALORANT tasks before opening the BLOB app

If your overlay was missing data… now you know why

• API Downtime: Any VALORANT update blows up the API for 1–2 days while it's updating
• Backup OCR System: Use BLOB's OCR backup overlay to keep broadcasts running during downtime
• Stay Updated: Join the Discord server for downtime alerts and backup overlay links

If multiple observers are in the lobby (including anyone else in the observer section), VALORANT will randomly block overlay data

The Fix:

1. Download BLOB: All observers must install the BLOB app (Players do not need it)
2. Connect: Send observers the Server Code and accept them on the Dashboard
3. Start Overlay: ONLY the streamer clicks "Start Overlay." Other observers may use “Show HUD” to see the overlay on top of their screen (Windowed Full Screen)

Note: If an observer cannot install BLOB, they must ALT + F4 immediately after agent select and rejoin
