Ummm

Scope

Reports for exploits leveraging the anti-cheat kernel driver vgk.sys.

What does that have to do with your original claim that the "driver" is not calling home, and OP saying it is calling home even when the game is not running? That's obviously "a feature" that you installed, not an exploit

If vgk.sys is communicating externally when vgc.exe isn’t on, that’s not intended functionality. It would be eligible for a bug bounty.

Worlds 2016 when all of the pros were playing solo queue in NA are the best quality games I can ever remember playing in. Got to play with Faker 4 times, all on my team, we won all of them except when Mancloud didn't want to give him mid :P. Ruler + CoreJJ (actually I think it was Pray and Gorilla) duo was also the most gapped I'd felt in a bot 2v2 up to that point.

So far not 1 rioter responded to similar claims, or any security concerns.

It's more important to reply to comments about "lulz cheater outsource mails to fiverr lul".

It has been responded to on other social medias ( https://x.com/deteccphilippe/status/1778502812403700045?s=46&t=iCQaeykeGHTksKoO4TeHHw ), but if you can prove this is happening, we do have a bug bounty program operated by HackerOne offering significant monetary sums to anyone who finds a vulnerability

I think K3o can probably say it better than me. https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1c1kgrk/dev_vanguard_x_lol/kz3yi9u/?share_id=HibAEyoDgZgQOqPJUCFjv Hope this answers your question.

Vanguard for LoL doesn’t have the current restriction system that VALORANT has for certain players.

If you’re on Windows 10 and you’re getting this message on VALORANT and you can’t support TPM 2.0, please write into Player Support. If you have already, you can message me your ticket number.

Y'all just sleeping on my Shaco x Fiora fanfic or?

So is someone going to photoshop Lee sin with a 2nd health bar and dark souls HUD or do I need to do it?

Can we get a breakdown of cheaters PER SERVER? Because Asia is a majority of players. China alone has 29 servers. So if the only statistic you give is is based on totals numbers then it seems flawed and dubious as if you were using Asia's higher cheating statistics to push Vanguard on the remaining players. I would love a graph with each server laid out and each amount of cheaters per rank on each server.

None of the numbers or graphs contain data from outside of riot regions. So no they wouldn't impact the numbers we shared here.

To clarify point 1. I meant a non-Riot game. Lets for example here, say I'm using a trainer on Far-Cry 2; an old, single player game.

After a brief lookup of some I found online, seems like it would be ok. If it’s one that’s just a bundled CheatEngine or other similar products, you may encounter an issue. We’d look to close League during that interaction though, not to ban the individual account.

Perfect thank you ! Visual Studio should be fine too I guess ?

Yep, should be good. If you ever want to try anything yourself though to make sure, we are running in the PBE, if you have an account there.

3 things quickly:

  1. Back to point 6: If, hypothetically, I use a trainer tool on a single player game. Would this be something seen by vanguard and risk a ban? Or will vanguard just whinge crash my LoL/Val game until I close it? Does Vanguard even see this if I don't have Valorant/LoL open?

  2. Does Vanguard run while the LoL client is open or only when a LoL game actually starts?

  3. Does Vanguard run while the Riot Client is running or only during the launch of above Riot games?

  1. If you're using a prohibited third party tool related to League in training mode, there's a good chance you'd still get actioned.

  2. It'll run when the respective clients of the games open, but not Riot Client.exe itself. So, if you are logged in on Riot Client, vgc.exe (which is the actual Vanguard program) launches when you click the Play button for League of Legends and the client pops up, and then closes once you close the client.

Hello there. I used AHK to press down key combinations, there is no logic involved. Is this bannable with Vanguard?

For example, I have my top 3 item slot actives bound to numpad 1-3. I will have Q trigger numpad1, W triggers numpad2, and E triggers numpad3. This way I can "attach" item arrived to certain spell keys.

I do this because I have RSI and struggled to hold the shift key or press further away keys than what is right below my hand.

https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/1c1kgrk/dev_vanguard_x_lol/kz4dl39/ K30 says it better here than I'd be able to. hope that answers what you're wonderin.

Sorry, quick confirmation:
My fiancée who has played valorant does not have TPM 2.0 (They aren't elligble to upgrade to Windows 11 (in the proper method) because of it.) did the requirement change recently in Valorant or is TPM 2.0 not required for League?

(We are starting to look at what we can do to upgrade their computer fairly quickly, given the 20 day turnaround if the Vanguard requirement goes live in 14.9 (May 1st))

Thanks!

TPM 2.0 will be required for Windows 11 machines to play League.
(Won't be required for previous versions of supported windows for now)

I'm seeing parallels between this situation and the COVID vaccine lol

For example there's definitely been a noticeable trend of people claiming they were the victim of a false positive and attempting to create a narrative against Vanguard for League, only upon review to be discovered that they were blatantly cheating.

We're seeing it happen as weird and strange as it is. I just don't understand why people do that.

is there any info on faceit anticheat and vanguard conflicting each other?

i often play a game of CS and then insta go into tft or vice versa

would I have to restart my pc to play a game of league cause I have the other AC activated?

We don't anticipate any issues for you in this case. You shouldn't have to reboot your PC after playing CS in order to play League, the drivers can both co-exist.

Probably the wrong Post to ask this, but will Tools like the porofessor still be legal? I mean, on paper it provides additional informations, so i am not Sure there. Anyone who can help me here?

For the most part they should just all work like you would usually expect. I believe they'll need to make some changes but I'm not the expert on that information so I can't say for certain what exactly. Most of them have already made those changes as well it sounds like from what I'm told just now.

Nothing those do at least from what I'm told will trigger Vanguard.

In recent months, as many as 1 in 15 games globally has had a scripter or botter in it, but in some regions, this number is as high as 1 in 5.

This part REAAAAAAALLY needed to be specified if it is in normals, arams, pre-30 games, post 30 games (prolly under normals) or in ranked.

Also, not to mention this under the FAQ section

They used cheating software for another game, and Vanguard unfortunately picked it up.

Didn't they just say that when you don't play a riot game, Vanguard is just back there staying still (menacingly)? Paraphrasing, but that shouldn't be able to happen at all then, if that were true?

Like hell, I can 100% admit that I have used trainers in single player games, and I'm not even ashamed to admit it..and those are 100% cheats, but hell if I would be mad if I got banned by Vanguard for cheating in lets say Xcom (yes they have MP, but f**k, noone plays it for MP :P) or...

WSL2 should work fine.
