[2020] Valorant will temporarily ban cheaters computers from running the game

Hi, I'm sorry to resurrect a weeks-old discussion but I just wanted to suggest looking at requiring a passed-through graphics card and allowing in that case. Since League already does this there is precedent for it, and doing so would still completely cut off virtualized bot farms without a dedicated GPU per instance, which would quickly run out of space and skyrocket the cost of large-scale cheating.

If you'd like to see a counterargument for virtual machines, I wrote a more detailed post here about why I believe a blanket ban on all virtualization is not the right move here.

Anyway, I really hope you and your team reconsider this decision. I've been looking forward to the game since first announcement and I'll be quite disappointed if I am unable to play it.

Thanks for taking the time to interact with Reddit.

As more and more videos will surface of cheats in Valorant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATkpqYmWt8k please reconsider what I said about shadowbanning. Bans of accounts and hardware will never work. If you keep cheaters in a cheater pool and allow them to play against each other they will stay on those accounts as they can play instead of being forced to a new account.

Hi, I just found this.

I prefer my VM setup with GPU Passthrough much more than dual booting. So far I invested too much time in getting the Vanguard service to stop crashing, so I will setup a dual boot configuration.

However, if you guys decide to allow VMs, how could I find about it? Is there a tech blog or something I can subscribe to?

Hi! I'm not sure if you are replying to this old thread anymore, but will there be something like CSGO's Overwatch once ranked comes out? I think once a player reached a certain rank or experience with the game a player should be allowed to see a report and watch and dictate a ban and if the player (who is "overwatching") continuously makes a false positive then this privilege can be removed. This could possibly be applied to live games such as a case where a player reports the enemy, the "overwatcher" is given the option to watch the game live. This would seem like a cool idea and I'm just wondering if you would implement this? (Sorry for being a long post and I hope you see this and have a good week!)

Hi, I have a question for you, i do not know if anyone asked this, and i cant seem to log into valorant forums, it says i do not have permission but the game works fine, anywho

I copied a script to use it too simple toggle run/walk, i really wish this game had it but it doesnt. its an AutoHotKey script. and this is it if you are curious.

CapsLock::

KeyDown := !KeyDown

If KeyDown

SendInput {n down}

Else

SendInput {n up}

Return

I heard people can use AHK for recoil stuff, and im not a real scripter, and have no intention of ever using anything like that, its simply for a feature that should already be in the game(i think). i found this only for another game someone used. I am just curious if I will eventually get banned for using this, I mean it does make my life easier not having to hold run or walk for the entire game.

thanks

Hi Arkem, what can users do if they receive a ban for a false positive? I recently was flagged for "malicious behavior" for which I believe is a false positive on the system, but am unsure how to diagnose it from my side, gather proof, or work with support to unban my account.

I have a question, do you know how i got false banned? I submitted a ticket and they told me that i wrote scripts and that is why i got banned. Now i don't know how to write scripts and what scripts. So it must've been something else. Maybe it's vanguard being oversensitive? Or maybe there is some sort of virus on my pc.
