Greetings Agents!

New patch, new Bug mega. To avoid bugs report cluttering the subreddit and/or going unnoticed we will get a single Megathread which will be posted today and after every patch so that you guys can report the various issues in one place.

Type of Bug: Vanguard kicks me out for every 4 minutes

Description: Vanguard Anti-cheat has encountered a connection error.

Reproduction rate: 10/10 (happened 10 out of 10 times)

Steps to reproduce: Try to reinstall Valorant and Vanguard

Expected result: I won't be kicked out

Observed result: Still got kicked out

System Specs: Intel i9 Processor, Windows 10, Nvidia Graphics card (2080)

If you upload your Vanguard logs somewhere (they live in "C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\Logs") and message me a link I'll take a look.

My best guess is some sort of connection issue to our anti-cheat servers?

I have been kicked from games as well, same error, can confirm. Never got kicked a single time pre-patch

It's probably a coincidence since nothing Vanguard related changed in this game patch (Vanguard updates on its own schedule). Let me know if it keeps happening though.

Type of Bug: Vanguard Anti Cheat Error

Description: I started to play from first week of beta and i have this issue. I cannot play a match normally because i get error all the time randomly. I tried to reinstall the game and anti cheat multiple times. Not worked. Tested with newest optional and recommended AMD driver too and crashed too. I reinstalled my computer, hoping it would work, but no, and I just installed the game and still get this error. I tried everything from the reddit and riot support and nothing works. I think it's a compatibility issue with AMD CPU or with the APU (Integrated graphics card) just a tip. I saw who has AMD A10 5800K, AMD A series CPU they have this problem too. Now i have more error than before the patch 0.50 (update). I was in ranked so after the 5x error in 5 round i didn't rejoined because like this is unplayable and not fun. #angry

• Screenshot: https://ibb.co/r5Xcmr2 (Sorry for bad quality, mobile camera)

Reproduction rate: 10/10 (happened 10 out of 10 times)

Steps to reproduce: Try to launch the game and just play.

Expected result: Playing without this error.

Observed result: Getting this error by vanguard every 2 minutes.

System Specs: AMD A10 5800K, Windows 10 Pro, RX 560 Pulse

Observed result: Keyboard not working.

Is this still happening? Vanguard shouldn't be blocking drivers since last week.

There were about 5 files in the logs folder so I zipped them up and uploaded them. To further add to the report, I never had this bug before the 0.50 patch. Also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game and vanguard but still got disconnected with the same error.

That link 404s for me :(

Vanguard didn't update along with 0.50 (it updated last week on its own) so it's probably not a 0.50 specific issue.

Dang it, uploaded the logs to my google drive instead.

Understood about the update. Had no problems last week pre and post vanguard update. Disconnect errors did not begin until 0.50 patch was installed. Hopefully the logs help!

Looks like a server error on our side, I'll escalate it to our infrastructure people.

Yep, tested hours ago in this new patch. Kbfiltr.sys still being blocked, I have to use virtual keyboard to enter my OS.

Can you tell me what version of Vanguard you have?

(Go to "C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard" and right click on vgc.exe, select properties and then go to the details tab)
