-
._. (@nexpoly) reported@TheCutieVixen @Liminatic @riotgames should've read and not broken their ToS then, and its not destroying property, its cheating software, nothing gets physically harmed or permanently damaged.
-
Performative (@mayoaddict17736) reported@Maltyversee @riotgames Have you tried run as administrator when opening the launcher? Fixed my problem
-
Roasted Phoenix (@Roasted_Phoenix) reported@riotgames So you first bragged about how those were paperweights and then are trying to walk it back??? In other words: your social media manager thought you could own the 'cheaters' and inadvertently opened the door to liability? A headline that states: "Riot game uses leverage and market presence to force MB manufactures to rush an unstable BIOS causing issues." Anyone else waiting for the: "The root cause was the third party anti-cheat company, we have abstained from all accountability and forced you to accept it via the TOS, and as you agreed to be our customer, you forfeit all rights to any form of protection or recovery" Then the anti-cheat company: "It's not our fault that the MB makers rushed this, you agreed to the risk when you accepted our TOS" then the MB makers: "we're sorry you experienced this, but we're working with the vendor to make a new bios, but we have no liability as per the TOS when you downloaded the driver" You can invest in anti-cheat all you want, but you will never make a product worth giving admin perms or kernel level access. If the only way you can prevent cheating is by having access to everything on my pc, that once it is granted can never truly be confirmed as removed, give itself it's own irql, and by very nature of the tool: is directly monitoring all memory access. You can't remove something that can hide it's entries on double linked lists. You can't protect anything when any and all parts of kernel space.

Adrian Rojas (@Revdarian) reported@crash @riotgames What reading comprehension, they only said that they were destroying 6k$ pc hardware, no other info given, if it's only cheating hw then I feel old and poor, 6k USD cheating device? Wtf
-
ジュンジ (@vvi_ri) reported@riotgames "Well, that escalated quickly." Arent supposed to be a reputable company? Also I remember the Vanguard broke many PCs and Riot had to issue an apology....
-
Atlas Meadows (@AtlasMeadowsXIV) reported@eron_wolf @riotgames Yeah dumbasses like you thinking everything in life is a right is the problem. You signed their EULA agreeing to let them do this if you decide to cheat. You gave them permission to do this. If you didn’t read it that’s on you for being absolutely ******* stupid. Get over it
-
Ka̷rmea (@HoodiKarmea) reported@boomborazclat @crash @riotgames Crazy how I’d rather believe facts over what some random guy claims that won’t even send a picture
-
Mashiro (@heymashiro_x) reported@riotgames @valohabercisi honestly 90% of my pc issues are cuz of vanguard tpm breaking and other issues so yeah i wouldn't be sure about normal ppl not being affected
-
k3r2igh24r3j (@k3r2igh24r49036) reported@crash @riotgames "Cheating devices" otherwise known as PCs
-
ninjaquick (@danramblesand) reported@dusnrnsukdmwfb @gritsngoblins @riotgames I literally stated that any enforcement is on the service or account level. They can enforce however they like on their own service or software. They can use the kernel to detect anything they like, that is something you've lawfully signed away by being retarded enough to play a riot game. Restricting a device *not in the actioning party's control* from having access to memory *that the user has explicitly desired for it to have access to* is, without explicit user informed consent, 100% illegal.
-
Valerie (@violet_rancor) reported@GiftyCucumber @crash @riotgames It leverages Microsoft's DMA protection features built into Windows which will only hit devices that are directly accessing memory and is fully reversible, it just blocks the DMA card from loading until you disable DMA protection.
-
C. 11 (@C_________11) reported@NoLimits057 @ComputerTwink @riotgames Your device is not broken and you don't have to download our client to access our servers. Good day.
-
STEALTH1X (@Stealth1X) reported@Timeerased @riotgames 80% calling things a lie/conspiracy is NOT the crowd involved in this. The actual problem on X is 80%+ are brainless, parrot what the previous parrot said, and are interested in engagement far more than facts/truth.
-
AbraxasAlpha (@AbraxasAlpha) reported@LazyGenGamers @riotgames The fact they have Kernal access doesn’t mean they will abuse (worst case)or (best case)use it at that fundamental level to ban bad actors. Most times in ban waves they target the specific problem and not the players. (Middle ground) as to not abuse power (and if I had to assume money plays some part) Allowing cheating to happen long enough (generally 4-6 months iirc) to root the cause of current cheats and stop it completely is apart of strategy of developers in modern anti-cheat. The kernal access allows for such data of these bad actors as well So when I see you say “cheating is still a problem” like no ****, that’s literally how they operate? It’s not a problem, it’s apart of how they handle it. It’s things like this that make your arguments seem ignorant.
-
NEVERknowsBEST (@emptyseeker) reported@bigGiantBrick @riotgames Instantly counter sued for brand damages which will exponentially be more money than w/e damages were caused to their computer. And riot wins that because tos was broken
-
RenAki5 | Hype for 2XKO and RiftBound!! (@RenAki5_TTV) reported@vsmallcactus @riotgames 99.99% of the time, it's people on really old hardware (that likely isn't supported) or they just never update windows/their OS or their drivers, which can and does cause problems all the time. Not even just with Vanguard, but in general.
-
cheepi🌱 (@cheepiiii) reported@riotgames ngl idk how much i believe you considering my computer force bluescreens for no reason bc of vanguard and when i asked support they just said “oh that just happens, get this app that you need to use whenever u turn on your pc” ive never had any issues like this otherwise
-
nigwardo (@TigerBack00ds) reported@Amiancht @SpartanWarGames @riotgames Then how are they not in legal trouble? I feel like this is a Grey area in the law because at one point they are selling hardware that is used to break tos and cheat which then causes riot to do something shady by bricking the device running the firmware. What are your thoughts?
-
Harris (@ruination_1) reported@riotgames I support banning cheaters in every way, but you guys don’t seem to optimize Vanguard properly. Game crashing due to Vanguard has been an issue since day 1. Thousands complain about it, they get queue lockouts and other penalties even tho the game crashed because of Vanguard.
-
WigglyGecko (@GeckoWiggly) reported@Daniel_OfCanada @idkbruhidkbruh @riotgames I am no teck expert. But from a quick google search it seems like your gpu or cpu causes vanguard to crash. Often caused by gpu drivers. League crashed alot gor mor a few months ago because of a nvidea driver update. Its fixed by the updated driver version. I hope your problem solves by itself and is not a big problem
-
mav (@silverfinsansho) reported@HeComeToTown @riotgames The hardware isnt broken. It requires turning off a windows security feature to utilize. If the option is turned on, the system will not boot with the it You can uninstall vanguard, reset the setting, and put the thing back in. Normal users have no need for this stuff.
-
Quinntillion (@tillionquinn) reported@crash @riotgames yeah actually I don't give a **** if someone is cheatin this company does not have a right to destroy people's property even if they're cheaters because they shouldn't have the right to do this to ANYONES property
-
🪄Malty and Sword🗡️ (@Maltyversee) reported@FarKilian @riotgames Yeah bro its definitely a fault in my system when every other anticheat in any other game doesnt cause me this issue but vanguard is known to cause issues in hella peoples pcs not just me this is well documented. Again yall dont have the IQ for this convo yall think just cause UR pc dont do it that it doesn’t exist which us stupid when NOBODY unless u buy a premade pc has the exact same specs all the damn time
-
Brandon White (@FrontFocused) reported@riotgames I don’t even give a **** if you were bricking their computers. These people are losers ruining peoples fun that they are trying to have in their spare time. They are ******** so I don’t care what happens to their pc. Don’t cheat, don’t have a problem. Easy as that.
-
SEKO (@sekoidd) reported@NoLimits057 @Tevvy57 @riotgames Oh wow, you absolute genius. It's unreal how you think massive companies don't have entire legal teams whose only job is to make sure this **** is bulletproof. Newsflash, kid: when you install the game, you click 'I Agree' on the Terms of Service. That's your little digital signature happily handing over your consent. But sure, keep acting like you've never agreed to anything in your life. Even your precious Windows 11 is out there selling your personal data with your enthusiastic permission you agreed to that too, remember? This is how the digital world works. If you're genuinely too paranoid to accept it, then go use Linux, stay away from kernel-level anticheats, and live your pure, unmonitored life. Problem solved. No one's forcing you.
-
• • Cactus • • (@vsmallcactus) reported@riotgames I will never understand all the "vanguard causes PC problems" Cause since vanguard rolled out, in cycled through 8 PCs (slowly upgrading to better ones) and never experienced any issues from it. Granted if I am not playing a riot game, I close out vanguard.
-
Ceoz (@Ceoz_1) reported@Peacxn @riotgames You moronic **** you ever touched any piece of software development that deals with memory in OS in your entire life, ******* retard? They are saying "Users that don't use this class of cheat will not be affected by this" they CANNOT say that Vanguard will NEVER and CANNOT cause this types of problems (which it already did lmao) to users who are not cheating you unemployed moron.
-
Fatigued (@mcr91bs) reported@crash @riotgames Even if this is only happening 100% to "cheaters" (which I GUARANTEE is false), they still have massive liability for causing damage to private property.
-
CR0W (@cr0wHCS) reported@shin33102555 @riotgames The issue is more about the cheats themselves. These hardware methods are currenty the only way they can be countered to a significant degree. This isn't 1990 where the worst cheat was just flying and an infinite currency glitch.
-
Ondřej (@gammaroneus) reported@GrantH556692 @baby__frog @riotgames If there was a hiccup, you would be hugely inconvenienced, maybe you'd have to disable Vanguard, maybe you'd have to externally fix your installation. But that's theoretical.
