Why not ? :c

Reasons that, as a security engineer, it's probably not my place to disclose as it's not my area of expertise.

Is this compliant with GDPR? What data are you collecting and how are you storing it? What is the main way you store it? Where are you storing it and why? Does it leave the borders of Europe while transferring? How long are you storing data? Can I see and remove the data somewhere? /u/RiotArkem ?

The baseline standard for all privacy across Riot is GDPR as a minimum. In other words, every time we develop something, we make sure it is compliant with GDPR (thanks to the so-called "Berlin Effect").

So, yes, it's GDPR compliant.

I can't answer the questions you have in this thread as I don't know them off the top of my head. You can currently send a GDPR request for League on the league support website; You can try sending that in and mention you want info on VALORANT too (this is likely because the league website, until very recently, was the only 'official' support site). We'll have RTK requests available for VALORANT on their support site very soon.

You can also send an email to ...

Ultimately, who owns the product that you're developping. You? Riot? or Tencent?

What would happen when who ever own this product decides on some changes.

Riot owns everything we make.

The distribution of our games is sometimes delegated to partners, like Garena, who also own the publishing piece in those regions.

I was talking with someone and they were very aggressive about the fact that you haven't named the auditors auditing Vanguard. Is this information you can share?

We can't disclose them unilaterally. We'd have to consult with the parties before we made any announcement. So not yet.

And props to you guys for the communication, this thread turned into a bit of a Q&A. A bit off topic but the games the devs did against Shroud and his team were really fun to watch. The devs showed there's a high skill ceiling and now I'm already excited for future tournaments. It'd be cool if you guys did more of that, devs vs players. That's pretty rare I think, that the devs of a game can go up against really skilled players and slap them up and down. Do any of those devs happen to stream? I kinda wanna see their perspective and hear the voice comms between them :P

I'm not sure but you can always check out their twitters to find out more info, starting with Pwyff, Penguin.

Everyone who plays VALORANT on their work machines has Vanguard installed.

Vanguard seems to make it impossible to play Valorant on linux. It does not work on vine or a VM because of the anti cheat. Are you just going to neglect linux gamers or are you going to make the game/anticheat run natively on linux at a later time?

We don't officially support Linux play of any of our games at this time.

i know you are not here to talk harassment, but i was wondering how you treat verbal abuse, harassment and other, uncalled and unnecessary, toxic behaviour. Is the option a placebo, or are there consequences to such behavour/reporting such players?

There are consequences. Players are who are verbally abusive, harass etc will get penalized if you report them.

The in-game report tool is enough in most cases but if you're super concerned you can clip a video of the behaviour (assuming the behaviour is done over voice) and send it to player support

Hey, I recently sent a message in discord to a Riot member regarding the use of vulnerabilities that apply to all video games on a network/hardware level, which includes 1. the parsing of network data in order to get game data, 2. the usage of HID devices in order to simulate mouse movements, and 3. The combined use of those two in order to parse network data and create a HID controlled aimbot that is fully hardware-sided and done 100% externally.

Theoretically, you could just use OBS to "stream" a game to another computeror application, and create a low-latency aimbot that uses a PID loop with the error being the distance from the center of the screen/crosshair to the pixels that make up the image of a head. You then could use a raspberry pi, usb rubber ducky, or any other badusb/programmable HID device (there are thousands) and create an aimbot that goes off of the distance between the head and the crosshair.

If I created a proof of concept of the screengrab-base...

So this sounds like an anti-cheat issue rather than a Vanguard driver issue (which is what the up-to-$100k bounties are for). We do accept anti-cheat issues in our bug bounty program. If you can create a POC, please do submit it, although I can't guarantee you'll get a payout until I actually see the POC.

This post is a great place with ton of valuable information for anyone looking for facts and arguments. Unfortunately, I fear many people complaining aren't going to listen, I feal like most of them complain for sake of complaining and somebody just manipulates them for their own good. What insults me so much is that everyone keep repeating that the software runs on kernel ring, yet I bet easily more than 90% of those don't have clue what kernel even means...

The only way to shut everyone would probably be to publish the code, yet it would highly compromise the security of the software and I guess would go against the rules of company since Riot doesn't seem to advocate opensource code, correct me if I am wrong.

At last both arguments concerning security and privacy could be used for any software running in the forementioned mode and I have yet to see so much complaining about anything like the last few days about Valorant...

We have open-sourced things in the past, but this is business secret sauce and likely will not get open-sourced.

perfectly balanced

Fo real, though, if you're having internet issues, definitely consider sending a ticket to player support!
