Vanguard Release on PBE

Original Post — Direct link

Hey everyone,

As of today, Vanguard has been released to League of Legends PBE. If you do not have Vanguard installed, you will receive a prompt when you open PBE to update, installing Vanguard. Afterwards, you will need to restart your device to initialize Vanguard, and you'll be good to go for PBE. This is a one time installation as long as Vanguard stays installed.

If you already have Vanguard installed from VALORANT, you will be able to play as usual without any restart.
Should issues occur, you will receive a localized link to Player Support on the corresponding issue. These links will also be posted below.

If there still remain any Vanguard issues after troubleshooting, you can post in this thread, where Anti-Cheat can help assist. We're still in our rollout phases to ensure compatibility, so any feedback and correspondence is deeply appreciated.

Will this cause any problems with something like Corsair iCue or Razer Synapse? I have a Razer mouse with buttons and I bound my attack move and control keys to buttons on there instead of pressing it on my keyboard. I’ve seen posts of some Valorant players saying they got banned from these programs when it has nothing to do with cheating and it’s just rerouting keybinds, and then Riot support does nothing to help them and tells them, “Yeah, you were cheating, we’re right and you’re wrong, good day.”

Input from tools like this are sometimes blocked, but it's unlikely this was the only thing on someone's box if they were flagged as cheating. They're not currently something we ban for.

this is my real problem

I see. Could you grab your Vanguard logs (C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\Logs) and send me a direct message with them?

Hey Riot, you should REALLY send a tutorial IN CLIENT on how to enable safe boot for windows 11, I had the error in valorant, and I don't doubt some will get it in League. My friends uninstalled Valorant because they don't want to touch their bios, you WILL lose players over this.

We don’t have the Secure Boot requirement for W11 on League of Legends, but I agree we could definitely improve some of the tutorials/ease of access to them in VALORANT. It’s something that’s noted, and we have done more direct communication in League of Legends for the W11 TPM requirement. (The Ready Check should link you to our updated guide if you’re not all set)

Since reinstalling Vanguard (used to be a Val player) due to the PBE, if I have any other program running (ie. Steam, Discord, Internet Browser,) it locks up my computer.

Steam will lock up and force close itself and reopen over and over again. Likely the store part crashing. Discord will just randomly force close. And browser tabs will crash and ask to be recovered.

Things that have been tried- Reinstalling all previously named software, including making sure there are no lingering files. Making sure all drivers and windows updates were up to date. Having Vanguard open with only one program at a time to see if it is a conflicting issue. Problems subsided once Vanguard was closed. Seems to be culprit in issues.

Windows 10, and current gen hardware.

Luckily this is my second rig where it isn't effecting my day to day. Cannot imagine what others are going to be going through.

Is this during when you open League and vgc.exe opens? If you have time, I’d appreciate you reach out in DMs about your specs/further explain the reproduction steps.

It is anytime I open a program after Vanguard is initially run. Computer turns on, I have nothing software wise open up on startup but Vanguard. Then after that it is whenever I am in a form of software (ie. Browser, discord etc.) if I go to click anything but that open software everything seems to brick.

You are welcome to DM me anytime.

Sounds good, just reached out.
