How on earth can you play with music on?!
also, u/RiotNaCl might wanna check that out??
thanks. there's a bug here, they aren't hacking.

Hope you don't mind me sending you my ticket number as well. I've been detailing every step of the process I've attempted to remedy this issue, myself. I tried reading the provided logs to get more verbose details than "Error 1" but they're encoded.
No problem! Working on a good bit of em right now so there may be some delay but will get to them ASAP.
Why are you telling non technical end users to delete system files on their home computers?
It's why it's best to troubleshoot these things through Support, so the issue can be pinpointed and handled in a safe manner. I do have assistance to help safely remove these programs. Incompatibility is a standard part of Software Troubleshooting. I would not recommend people going into their system files and deleting things random things and hoping it'll work.
what do i do with a unsigned files if i scan with sigverif?
For any unsigned driver files (.sys files) you should either remove them or try to update them to the latest version.
I strongly discourage y'all from trying to mix and match Vanguard components across versions as this could cause system instability and looks a lot like cheating to our servers.
Why let people connect with an out of date Vanguard at all?
We like to give a short grace period during an update so that people who are in game when the update goes live aren't disconnected. Also, seeing who connects with an old version is very useful information.
Okay, but what do we do if this is a driver that we actually need really badly? The only driver that sigverif finds for me is a driver for my graphics tablet, which is the official and latest version of that driver, and which I need to have my tablet working.
As long as the driver isn't loaded the game should run, so one thing you could try is to unplug the tablet and then be able to play the game.
The Realtek HD Audio Driver package is present on all Windows machines that feature a Realtek sound card, rendering all of them vulnerable to attacks. Exploitation, however, requires the attacker to have administrator privileges.
Isn't this is exactly why I should be wary about granting software like Vanguard administrator privileges?
You should be wary. You should carefully consider anything you install on your computer, user-mode or ring-0.
The comments about other drivers are just meant to put the risk into perspective; you already have lots of drivers with vulnerabilities running in ring-0 already and you probably didn't know about it.
What if everything is up to date when you run sigverif? And it still doesnt work?
Check for gdrv.sys (see my edit) and if that doesn't work I recommend a support ticket
Hey everyone, the latest version of Vanguard won't run if it detects vulnerable or out of date drivers on your computer.
If you run "sigverif" it will give you a list of unsigned components that could be preventing Vanguard from starting. Any driver (.sys file) on that list should be updated or removed.

Read moreWill muted teammate's pings still be played?
We're looking at what we can do there as well. It would be a separate change from the two changes I mentioned.
What would you like to see there personally? Should be tied to muting someone on Voice? Should it be it's own separate mute?
Disclaimer: I'm a Software Engineer not the one who's making UX decisions but I have chatted with them about it.
Something is definitely not right with this kid, first kill looks like any decent flick. The tracking on the second target is unnatural as it appears to track per pixel. Next clip his aim is horrible on 1st and second kill then flicks to the 3rd kill which isn't suspicious for a good player but could also be luck. Given the evidence on the whole I think there's enough here to warrant investigation based on how wildly different his aiming patterns are. What do you think /u/RiotArkem
We'll investigate!
LOVE THE GOOD COMMS
WE LOVE THE GOOD BUG REPORTS! Keep em coming Reddit.
Couldn't the client keep full precision aim vectors under the hood, but quantize them visually and when sending to the server so that if you make small movements like this eventually the crosshair will jump to the next rounded value?
Yeah something like this could definitely work.
However, it might have an unintended effect.
Imagine you stored 99% of a "down movement" locally on the client then try to hit a flick really fast. The mouse movement for the flick would need to overcome that 99% "storage" value to work. Might lead to some inconsistencies that are hard to detect but throw of the "feel" of the game if that makes sense. You could counter this in various ways "hand waving" so the basic idea could work with the right implementation.
When we look at problems like this we often write down all possible solutions and share them amongst the dev team to try and find the most optimal solution for the player experience. I'm sure something like this will be one of the options on the docket. The easiest solution is probably what RiotStealthyJesus suggests, simply increasing the precision to the point where it works for all sens and zoom factors.
Hey! @RiotArkem I rand sigverif and it says nvcpl.dll is unsigned. nvcpl.dll is the library for Nvidia control panel and I have clean installed the latest Nvidia drivers.
Only unverified drivers (.sys files) should cause a problem so nvcpl.dll appearing on the list shouldn't be an issue. If you're still having a problem I recommend a support ticket.
This problem can sometimes occur if your device drivers are out of date, not signed properly, have been modified or are otherwise kind of busted.
This page has a few methods on how to detect drivers like this so you can update or remove them: https://www.drivethelife.com/windows-10/check-unsigned-drivers-on-windows-10.html
/u/zigzagdance recommends "sigverif" which come...
Read moreCheck to see if you have any unsigned drivers running using the
sigverifcommand. They'll show up in the resulting list next to a file icon containing a gear.For me, it was an nvidia driver. Updating them fixed the issue for me.
this is good advice!
Fair point about KDA. I do think it’s great to have the main focus be round wins and rounds played, in order to incentivize team work rather than KDA. That should remain the main focus.
I think that’s where it’s important, if you decide to implement something like this, to make sure the XP from kills, assists, and objectives is less, that way it doesn’t detract from the teamwork aspect.
Thank you for the response! You guys have made a great game and I’ve been enjoying the hell out of it.
Appreciate it my friend <3
So glad you’re having fun :)
couldn't this also mean that riot has worse programmers that allow so many vulnerabilities to slip through?
it could also mean that maintaining the infrastructure for one of the biggest games in the world is fraught with risk and that we pay generously on bug bounty :)
Ok i must have misunderstood your first point (1.VALORANT).
I'm really not qualified to answer that kind of question.
Let's be honest between you and me. Tencent own Riot. They can do whatever they want with it. Don't answer because you could get in trouble, but everyone knows that Tencent can do anything they want with your software. They OWN Riot.
Vanguard is owned and developed by Riot.
And Tencent own Riot, including assets. That's what ownership means. Can you confirm this.
Edit: This is an serious advice here: don't answer any of this, you could be in trouble.
Respectfully, it appears that you're trying to get a sound-bite out of me to confirm your suspicions and run with it (as you did with this thread).
This is way out of my area of expertise so I'm going to avoid replying to this. If you have questions specifically about application security, software engineering or privacy I am happy to answer them, but I'm not going to be able to reply to questions like this.
So just to make it clear, you're saying Vanguard isn't owned by Riot, but by Tencent. Is my understanding ok?
- Tencent do have a majority fiscal stake in Riot but we retain full control of what we build and how we build it.
Indefinitely? Or could Tecent decide at any moment that they are in control, since you know, they own Riot.
I'm not some crazy conspiracy theory, I'm just a dude who wants to know exactly what's running 24-7 on my PC, including who owns it, and who makes the decisions about it. You made it seems like Riot owned the software and was the full decision maker, when in reality it's pretty clear that it's Tencent.

I'm really not qualified to answer that kind of question. Like, technically, yes, Tencent could become very authoritative over Riot, in a similar way to how the Queen of England is technically in charge of the UK.
