Long story short, I've played Rust for nearly 2k hours, never installed any third party software, never had any bans or problems. Got Valorant about three days ago, wake up today and I'm perm banned by EAC. The only new software on my PC over the past week+ was Valorant and its anti-cheat Vanguard.
I googled it and found others were having the same problem, such as these guys, and various others.
Personally I find it hard to believe that Vanguard caused this, but I know I don't have files on my computer that could cause an EAC ban.
One thing that I suspect might have something to do with this is that today, the third day of me owning Valorant, the first thing I saw when opening my computer was a pop-up from Vanguard saying that it had stopped a file from downloading because it thought it looked fishy, keep in mind this was as soon as I logged into my PC, nothing was open that could download files, no Chrome, no Discord, nothing. I don't know how this file could be related to my ban, as Vanguard had clearly said that it stopped the file from downloading. Whats more, I was only EAC banned, and not banned on Valorant, if I did have a file that caused my account to get EAC flagged, I find it hard to believe Vanguard would not flag it.
If anyone has any information that could help, or u/RiotArkem has any updates about this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Before you ask: I have submitted an appeal to EAC, and I have uninstalled Valorant / Vanguard off my computer for the time being
