I just opened League of Legends and saw a notification pop up. It appears that League of Legends is now checking if your computer is compatible with the anti-cheat system 'Vanguard'.
I wonder what it shows if it isn't compatible, for example, not having secure boot enabled.
I don't think I have to run League of Legends with Vanguard right now, but I wanted to see if anyone else got this notification as well.
External link →Vanguard will come very soon, if nothing goes wrong and if it's not delayed again it will come in patch 14.09 so early May
This is correct. We’re still planning on release for Patch 14.09 for all Riot Regions, assuming our launch today in the Philippines for 14.08 goes as planned.
been asking this for a long time i hope i get a reply , does vanguard take a lot of bandwidth , what i mean if my internet connection is limited ( like bad upload and down speeds ) but my ping is stable , would it affect it ?
You should be ok, it’s made to be minimally resource intensive. I’ve personally played VALORANT with sub 5mbps download speeds a good amount while using hotspot connections for testing.
I'm on linux and it says my system is good to go, despite them saying linux would no longer be supported
Linux is not supported - this modal was made for operating systems within our support. Riot Client uses general API calls compared to what we actually do on Vanguard, so it wasn't made to delineate and look for the Wine/Lutris edge cases.
Apologies for the confusion here.
So that means u can play league without secure boot enabled ?
League + Vanguard does not require Secure Boot. VALORANT does, but League doesn't need it, so we don't require it.
TPM2.0 does need to be enabled though if you're running Windows 11.
Well, you can currently, but you won't be able to in the future when Vanguard is actually enabled. The modal here just doesn't check for Secure Boot.
League won't require Secure Boot when Vanguard is enabled. That's why the modal doesn't check for it. :)
It's required on VAL but they're solving different problems for us, and Secure Boot is less critical to the problems we see Vanguard solving for League, so we don't require it.
TPM2.0 will need to be enabled though if you're running Windows 11.
So u mean to tell me i can play league of legends with my secure boot off ? ( this is great news for me because i've played League since end of 2014, im pretty connected to esports scene )
It says it passed all the checks...
u/edit and i checked TPM2.0 its on
Correct. Vanguard on League does not require Secure Boot. You will be able to play League with SB turned off.
